The colour theme for these two pages is different to that of the rest of the magazine, as I wanted to establish a new theme for the article and, as red was the most striking colour from the photos - my friend's red hair and the red guitar, I continued the theme, the red also adding connotations of danger and violence associated with the word "war". As I had imagined a "special" containing many articles on the Amplified competition, I created a top bar which I imagined would appear on all articles, including the magazine's name, and the name of the competition, then added the proper Amplified logo I created. I then continued the colour scheme in my font colours.
The article itself was an interview with members of different bands, a scenario often covered by other magazine articles, and I picked out a major quote to break up the columns of text. I also added a competition, a popular magazine convention, and used a picture I took at a local gig last year as a last minute extra to add interest. The bottom bar I had intended to use as an "extra news" section, but instead used it to incorporate the element of fashion that people had liked in the moodboard I created at the start of the project.
