Final and finished touch to my double page spread was to make the right hand page have a light opacity image of the drummer, this creates a professional look and also makes the audience want to read it.
As it is on the right hand page of the double page spread underneath the interview, this gives the readers a sense that they know who they are reading about and that the interview is directly towards him (Jack Kingston)
This also gives an aesthetically pleasing feel to the magazine as it portrays profession and modern connotations. 
The final product is an improvement from my original flat plan idea, this is from production of the magazine I was able to ensure images I took and layout/structure of the magazine is all used correctly to ensure the magazine is interesting to read to my target audience.

Final and finished contents page, and I ensured that I included a competition to also get the readers involved for them to tell friends and also boost RSS ratings.
Also including the advertising of 'Ready Set Stage Radio' which is vertical integration and synergy, all these benefiting Ready Set Stage and also the readers as they can have more information through the radio station. 
'Wait There's More' is also to make the reader think that this months issue if packed full of really good information and make then want to purchase this.

After now completing the interview, I added finishing touches like the final page number in the bottom right corner and un the picture additional information of "Want to Find Out More" this gives the RSS chance for promotion and for the readers to get more information on the interview and find out more information on the band 'This Is Atlantica'.
The overall design of my double page spread has changed from my flat plan original idea, the reason through this is because throughout producing this magazine I felt that this design is more in comparison with my magazine structure and it is also more presentable than my flat plan idea.

The name 'jack Kingston' I have made big and to a slant on the right page of the double page spread, creating a interesting title to interest the readers. Also keeping to the original title font of the magazine.
On page 26, I started off by dividing the page in half. By doing this I was able to make the words go around the quotation in the circle. After I completed this I put it back into thirds so I was able to complete the interview on the other page of the double page spread.
 This makes my interview more interesting and aesthetically pleasing for the readers.
I have also have changed the colour of the font to who is asking/answering the questions. In this case 'Jack Kingston' is in red and the interviewer is in black. This makes it easier for the readers to read through it.
To the top left of the magazine I have included "When It happens" this creates an up to date feel to the interview and that it is new and exclusive.
I have made the interview colloquial and modern to give the readers a sense that it is really 'Jack Kingston' answering the questions.

Throughout developing my contents page I have gone through a wide range of colours, images and text. Ensuring the text is catchy and the images get the audiences attention also that the colour links to the main colour theme of the magazine.
Also by adding information of a membership and details to call 'Ready Set stage' or go on the website also promotes the company through all types of media.
To keep to the same layout of the magazine structure I have devided the page into three colums and have made a border round the outside to keep the page looking professional and presentable.
By putting the main features of the magazine big and clear with a picture to go with it makes the audience want to keep reading on. The other features of the magazine are located at the bottom of the page, named "WAIT! THERES MORE"

I have used this image that I took to use on my contents page, but due to the unnecessary background imagery of a door and a wall I had to remove this using photoshop. I had to remove the background images because it does not portray professionalism of a famous musician as it is in a small room.
 By doing this I will make the picture look more professional and presentable to be on a contents page.




This is my finished produced after using the clone tool on photoshop to make sure the background is the same colour. Now it can be used on the contents page of my magazine.
