These show a variation of different backgrounds that I could use for my double page spread, I tried to use different images so that it gave the audience something else to look at on the page. I took away the grey background and then replaced it with a blank screen, a background image of a concert crowd and then a watermark which follows the same colours as the rest of the house style. When using other colours and backgrounds than the plain grey solid colour it makes things stand out less on the page as the grey background is very dull and blank, whereas using a coloured background makes the text show on the page that there is something important there. I tried a range of different things that I could use on my background but then I decided that the grey from the original image worked well with the rest of the things on the page and changing the background image to something that would have been slightly more technical (as it would distract the reader from the article onto the background image) would have meant that I would of needed to move around the things on the page so that they still stood out from the page in the same way that they stand out now. Most magazines that I have looked at such as NME and Q use solid colour backgrounds so that the other things on the page stand out more from the page as things are more simple.
