Double Page Spread Templates

In order to effectively construct and use market research to develop my ideas for my magazine, I have created two templates for my Double page spread. They are different in terms of layout and composition, as well as one being noticeably busier. The first design has a busier feel as it contain a lot more images then the second one. I have decided to include a pull-out quote on my DPS and a mid-shot of band. These features have been incorporated into both designs, but in different ways. The second layout is more simple and relaxed. It still contains many pictures and has a banner. This template has less writing then the first one and the pull-out quote is a big focus for this design. Overall template number two was proven more popular when we conducted our market research. Many people found that even though the layout was quite plain, in this case less appeared more. The audience also said that it was better to focus on particular features, such as the main image and pull-out quote, highlighting them so that they stand out on the page in comparison tot the other features. The second one being less wordy seems popular for our particular demographic as they are more satisfied with visual images rather then text. The banner seemed an interesting feature for the target market, especially if it contained competitions.
 
Having conducted and evaluating my market research, I fell that I understand the necessary things to make a successful magazine and to appeal to my intended target audience. As template two is the most popular, I will create my DPS adhering to that particular layout and set of conventions.
