Get To Know Section!

On my double page spread I decided to include a 'Get To Know' box in the left hand corner of the pages. I included this again to help the readers get to know my female solo artist. By doing this the readers can feel like they know the celebrity well and will again feel like they can relate to them. It is important to give the readers a friendly feel to my magazine. In my get to know box I have included a few small facts on the celebrity that hopefully the readers will find interesting. To help me find what sort of things to put in this box and how I should lay mine out on the double spread I researched a few fact files from other rock magazines.
The first fact file I found was from the magazine Kerrang.

 This factfile is based on the celebrities tract lists. I did not decide to set mine out like this as I wanted to focus on the actually celebrity, not their music.

 

The next fact file I looked at was from the magazine NME. This is also another rock magazine.

I really liked how this fact file was set out. It was also placed in the bottom left hand corner of the page which is where I originally planned to place my 'Get to know' section of the page. This fact file also focused on the celebrity themselves. It gave facts about the celebrities likes/dislikes. It also said the intruments that each of the band members play which I thought was an interesting fact to know about them. I decided to include this idea on my double page spread. I have included facts on the female artist's birthday and what instruments she plays. Here is a picture of my fact file.

As you can see I have stuck to the housestyle by using the colours red, black and white. This helps the readers to get familiar with my magazine and recognise the genre of it. I also thought it was a good idea to place it here as it was not taking up too much space and is not covering the main image.
It is vital that I used the same consistent housestyle throughout my magazine so the readers feel familiar with it and can recognise the genre easily as many rock magazines use these tense style colours. Also by using the same colours this helps to link and relate the different pages.
