Magazine Treatment

Article: My double page spread article will be an interview conducted between myself and Chris Turner about his upcoming tour and album. This will be followed by some general banter and some written in questions and answers. I chose to do this as it is common to be found in many teenage/young adult aimed magazines.

My contents page has a layout almost identical to that of Kerrang! Magazine. I did this because Kerrang!’s layout is very effective and simple.
