Feature Article Mock Up
Below is a very rough version of my feature article, it contains two main pictures currently that I may add to when creating my final version. It only shows the very basic elements that I want in my final feature article, however it gives me a good idea of the design and layout. Below I have explained some of my choices for these elements.
In this mock up, I have decided to include one large picture of Lola Roberts, and I have used one small one, however will probably use more than this in the final version, to make it look a bit more eye-catching. The photos will be photo shopped to bring out the colour and make them really stand out. The large photo will show a very country-like background, and will be the main focus of the page, however I have decided to also use a fair amount of text, so that it looks balanced, and not too full of photos, or of text.
I have put the title 'Lyrics' in the top left of the double page spread, so that it isn't the main focus, I will add text onto the end of it that says 'meets... Lola Roberts', so that it tells the reader what the article is about. I don't want this text to be too obvious, as the pictures are supposed to be the main focus of the page, however I still want it to be informative, and easy for the reader to see and read.
For the text, I have put an introduction paragraph that will explain a bit about Lola, and set the tone of the whole article. After which, I will have a Q&A with Lola, asking about her new album, what it is like to suddenly be famous, about her writing her own songs, and what inspired her first one. I will also put a conclusion at the end, with a similar tone to the introduction that will address the reader, and make them feel a part of the interview.
Overall, I have tried to make it look simplistic, yet professional, this will draw the reader's attention, because it is easy to look at and read by not being too overcrowded, yet still being informative and colourful through the pictures.
