After altering a few things I came to my final copy. I made the pictures stand out more by adding the special effect of 'stroke' and positioned the text so there wasn't any big chunks of white unused space. From my plan I wanted to include a 'pull quote' and place it in the middle of the right hand page in a big pink circle, but getting to this stage I realised I had no room left; therefore I placed it on top of some empty black space on the bottom photo, in a sort of 'bleed' effect. This ended up turning out perfect as it contributes to the 'house style' of having pink on black; therefore making it a consistent brand image. Finally I moved the images very slightly and then it was finished.I feel that my feature would appeal to my target audience as it is all on DJing which is something that I found from the survey that they find very interesting, the images are very inviting and suggest that anyone can have a go at being a DJ. They also show what it's actually like to be DJing for a load of people, people can image what it's like but this feature actually shows you. The layout is effective as it is simple and uncluttered which the survey told me that they like and the colour scheme is coherent throughout the magazine. The questions used in the text are questions that people who are interested in DJing actually want to know i.e. 'When you first started getting interest in DJing, what did you start doing?' as they may be thinking 'I like DJing but I don't know how to get into the business' this interview helps you in doing that. I know this as a friend of mine has just started getting into DJing and I asked him what kind of questions he would like to know.
