Magazine double page spread - Interview questions

I decided that it would be more beneficial for me to write out and plan the actual content of my double page spread before I started to construct it.

I decided to have my double page spread split into two sides - 1 side being the interview with my artist, and the other being an a4 poster of my artist. I decided to do this as it would appeal to my target audience as I am following typical codes and conventions of existing media products from my genre - such as 'Kerrang!' magazine, containing both interview pieces and posters.

I researched existing interviews from rock/alternative magazines in order to find questions that are typical of an interview with an artist/band.

After researching this, I decided to include questions based around the topics of:

• Upcoming gigs and tours
• New albums
• Which bands they like
• If they take inspiration from any bands in particular
• Their Fans
• News to do with the band.

I believe that incorporating these into my double page spread will make an interesting interview piece that my audience will be attracted to my magazine for.
