MY FEATURE

These are some commonly asked questions in features in Mojo, Kerrang! and Scratch:
These are specific ones that I want to ask my interviewee:

INTERVIEW

When did you become interested in Dubstep?
Who are your role models?
How did you sort your first gig?
What venues have you played?
Where is your dream venue?
What has been your best experience been? And why?
What has been your worst experience been? And why?
Who would you most like to play alongside?
Do you have a fan base?
How do you make your music? What equipment do you use?
How long does it take usually to create a song?
Where do you see your musical career going?

CONTENTS PAGE DECONSTRUCTION


COLOUR
The black background makes the white writing stand out and makes the magazine seem more edgy. The pictures contrast strongly with the dark and mysterious writing and background, as they are brightly lit, catching readers eyes. Black, white and creamy yellow/green are the three main colours, that are coherant.
FONT
The font for the subheadings are very 'script' like, and I like the look of it so I think I am going to use it for my magazine.
LAYOUT
The layout is very central, with the main text running down the middle of the A4 page. The text is tilted, which again makes the magazine seem more edgy and different. The pictures even out the central layout by surrounding them. Arrows from certain page numbers draws the readers towards the pages, however I find this cheap looking and rather tacky.
