Common Themes A theme I’ve tried to keep throughout every page is that there are diagonal aspects pointing upwards and right to imply the constant improvement in the development of digital music production. This is also a feature that was used in the masthead using the length of each word. The background is most often made up from white then 2 shades of light blue to add texture to the pages. These are a crucial part of the colour scheme as according to Adobe (2023), light blue’s “delicate appearance makes it helpful in promoting feelings of soothing tranquillity”. This helps to try and convince the reader that the evolving technologies in digital music shouldn’t be something to worry about. Another reason blue is used is because, according to London Image Institute (2020), “It relates to trust, honesty, and dependability, therefore helping to build customer loyalty”. This is beneficial because it would hopefully help to encourage readers to keep returning as they relate the magazine to be trustworthy.  Double Page 1 The first double spread has 1 large image on each page. The first is diagonally sectioned up. Originally, this would have been a photograph but instead I have coloured each bar to look like piano keys instead. Having the image frames going diagonally, it creates a unique composition that allows a perfect amount of space for a standard paragraph along with an image caption. On the second, it uses a large, uncovered image with a section for text towards the top. Having the image clearly visible this time shows a clear contrast between the more hidden one on the page to the left, relating to the building contrast between live and digital music production.  Double Page 2 An image is the main focus of this spread. Once again, it is angled upwards. 2 sections at the top left and bottom right have been saved for the headline with a pull-quote and then the standard paragraphs and an image caption. Because they are to the side, it lets the viewer clearly see both the image and the text as there is no need for overlapping.  Double Page 3 For this version, the double page spread has a centre image similar to design 2, however it has a circular crop around it. The vignette gradually fades into the background colour to create a seamless transition between the type and the image. This brings them together without them seeming too different to each other. The columns around the image on the left page will align to the left of the page with each line ending just before the image to curve around it. On the right page, it will be the opposite. The centre image will draw the reader in and will also help them understand what the subject of the article is as the image will be directly connoting what the subject is. This version also allows for a lot more text if there is a lot of information needed.  Single Page The amount of content of these paged will be a 60:40 text:image split. The reason this split is quite close to being equal is because of the declining attention span of people nowadays. Having a larger quantity of images will hope to keep the reader more inclined to continue going through the articles.  References Adobe (2023) Promote peace with calming light blue.
