In the Half Term, I have conducted a plan to complete some extra work.
I still need to upload my questionnaires and complete the graphs and feedback for these, so I shall complete this within the week.
I shall also create my Podcast on how far I am within my media work.
I shall also take some pictures using my own SLR camera and upload them onto my blog.

Research and Planning: Double Page Spread Analysis
This is my double page spread anaylsis, taken from the NME magazine. This article features the diary entries from the musician Pete Doherty. I have chosen this double page spread as it was more interesting to analyse, because its not simply just an interview, its a diary entry from Pete himself.
On the left page of the spread, there is a semi-middle shot, as the image shows his body posture, and mostly his upper part of his body. By choosing this shot, it allows the reader to understand who the article is about, and what emotions or thoughts they should feel while reading. They have chose to edit the image into black and white, possible to contract with the text, or even to show the persons emotion or mind-set. As the diary entries are very personal, I think the black and white choice is to portray that the diary entries are in "black and white" and there are no hidden thoughts while hes written it.
The style of font chosen for the headline is very mixed, as there is a clash of two fonts in the word "secret" let alone the two other different fonts chosen. This could also infer that the two page spread is going to be linked with a diary post. The choice of red text for "Peter Doherty" has possibly been chosen to make it stand out that the article is soley about him, and not his band
There are six subheadings on the two pages, followed by another underneath with the date each entry was posted. This allows the reader to have more understanding with Pete's mindset, and what happened when. Each subheading is a quote taken from the entries, catching the readers eye and making them want to read more.

The layout of the double page spread is very simple and lay out in columns, with added images scattered across the page blending with the text. The images are well placed with suitable backgrounds as they look in the style of a pinboard by using the paperclip.
Overall, I think that the spread fits well into the chosen genre, and appeals to the audience correctly. The same colour scheme kept throughout the magazine makes it look more proffesional and orderly as the house style is kept the same.
