Double Page Spread Making

Here is the making of my double page spread. I have made the lettering and put the photo to the lettering. i faded the photo out so that it looked like the full double page.

MAGAZINE INTERVIEW

- This is the interview with 'Hayley and the Contours'. I really enjoyed writing it and am quite pleased with how it turned out. I made sure i wrote it in a style that is fitting with my magazine, and one that my target audience will enjoy reading.

When Hayley first steps in to the INDIEgo office she is instantly swamped with male attention. The printing guys and the cleaners all jostle  around her, and are awarded a patient smile whilst every girl in the office looks enviously on. Hayley is 23 years old, and is the lead singer in the latest up and coming band ’Hayley and the Contours’ who have been taking the UK by storm ever since their single ‘Dancing Under Rainbows’.

So Hayley, your touring around the UK right now? Yeah, we’re playing all around and I’m going to all these places I never even new existed. Just the other day we played in this really amazing town right by the sea. It was so cute.

Tell us a bit about the band? Well, there’s four of us all together;  Me, Matt, Chester and Phoenix. Matt and Chester both play the guitar and Phoenix and I do most of the singing, but he can also play the piano and the harmonica. I’m useless at learning how to play anything, I always give up too quickly.. I am a pro at playing the triangle though!

How are you liking life on the road.. you share a bus with the three boys right? I thought I could manage it because I’ve grown up with two brothers, but seriously the boys are so messy and they always leave the loo seat up! I can never watch anything I want on TV either but I guess that’s the rock and role life style [laughs]

What kind of music do you play? We play a mixed sound I guess.. some would call it ‘indie’.  Our earlier stuff was slightly more rocky but the latest album is ‘listening music’. We wrote most of the songs together last December when we were staying at Matt’s families massive house in the country.

Are there any romances in the band? No, we are all really close though. I think of them as my family. I think they think of me as their clumsy older sister.

Hayley and the Contours are playing in Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter, Manchester and Birmingham in the month. If you want to know more check out their blog at www.hayleyandthecontours.com or on our website.
