Magazine Feature - Step 1

The final step in making my music magazine was to create the feature, from the survey I knew that it was going to be on DJing. Luckily for me my friend is good friends with one; therefore she took me along to meet him, interview him and take lots of photos of him in action. We went along to one of his busy DJing slots on Thursday night at Embassy nightclub in London, were he showed me what he does and I got to have a good chat with him. He seemed perfect for my feature and would definitely appeal to my target audience.
The construction was the next thing, I continued on with the 'house style' of having the same masthead from the front cover on the main pages and placed it like I did on the contents page in the top left hand corner. I also continued on with the same coherency and colour scheme throughout. I made the 'slug' black so it would stand out against the white background as this is one of the things that hooks the reader into the feature article. I knew from the planning stage that I wanted an inviting, fun and effective image of the DJ under the masthead; therefore I did this. I feel that this image would appeal to the target audience as he is pointing at the reader inviting them in to hear his story and suggesting that anyone can give it ago. In the final part of this step I put the DJ's name in a black box and his name in Pink to stand out, this also looks similar to the masthead; therefore following the 'house style'.
