Day 9: 15 hour exam The Dead Famous

The layout for this article was took from Task 4: Composition and Layout at the beginning of the year so this made it a lot easier and quicker for me to develop ideas. I used the collage idea from Task 3: 3D for this article and it works really well with how it's going down the side of the both pages.

I incorporated one of their songs into the sub title for this article too. They have a song called 'Hide Your Halo' and yet again, I thought it worked really well with the idea of the article and their EP. For this article, I just had to play around with different fonts and to find the perfect one was very hard. I didn't want to use a stereotypical 'rock' font and this is what you can see in idea two. It would also be a very obvious font to use because of the word 'Dead' in the bands name.

I had to choose between ideas one, three, four and seven. In the end, I chose idea three because I liked the serif and I also thought that I had used too many 'blocky' fonts throughout the magazine.
