Magazine Article Layout Template

After completing the Billboard magazine research, we had to look into a similar article that we wanted to take the layout template from. This is in order to make the article look professional and as if it could have actually been in an edition of Billboard.
When looking at the various layouts from our research, we recognised that for the artist to be on the front cover the layout we chose needed to be at least a double page spread, so usually even more. Once we looked into our options of this we finally decided that we would base the layout of our article on the template that was used for Ariana Grande's recent Billboard interview, this is because we agreed it involved the correct ratio of writing and photographs, that would be informing yet aesthetically pleasing for the consumer. This therefore easily helps to portray across what our artist is like as a person, along side her image.
Here is what the layout of Ariana Grande's interview looks like:

To recreate this layout for our article, we will use the Adobe Indesign software, and this will enable to get clear dividers, stand out boxes and quote lines that will make the article look more professional than it would if we completed it on a simple Microsoft document. This is because this is closer to the software that professional magazine editors use.
