Main task - Double Page Spread.

My article was based on the fictional lead singer, Stuart Cole, from the fictional band 'December Falling' who had just come back from a US tour.First, i made up basic questions and then reworded them to sound more 'snazzy':
How was the US? So, you've just done some Hell raising around the USA -how was it?
What was it like on stage? What was going through your mind as you looked across the crowds?
How were the fans? Did you have any crazy, whacked out fan experiences?
Do you think they understand your new album? Your tour consisted of your new album What Goes Around Comes Around. Do you think people understand the messages?
Did any trouble happen? Did you and the guys get yourselves into trouble when you were out there?
Was there any after parties? What about the after parties?
Was there any arguments? Was there any arguments between band members?
Why didn't your girlfriend come with you? Your girlfriend didn't tag along for the tour - why?
Did you miss her? You missed her then?
Once I had sorted the article content out, I created the basic layout:














I added the answers to the questions and added quite to give the reader an insight into what was in the article. I also added a one-sentence description of the content to the banner:









I used images from gigs I went to at Folkestone Leas Cliff  Hall, Brixton Academy and Hammersmith Apollo.















Once the pictures were established, I inserted them onto the article. I also added captions to the pictures to inform the reader where abouts the gig took place (I said they were in American states, of course). Here is the finished product:













Positive feedback: Good use of live photography, clear difference between question and anwser, bold fonts - especially the elipse used.
Negative feedback: more pictures could be included, lots of text - looks a bit daunting.
