Article for double page spread and photographs: I am planning to conduct an interview with fans of Rihanna for my double page spread. I am going to include one main image which will take up a whole page of the article, which will be used to go alongside the text. It will be laid out in a simple format so that there is not a huge amount of text on the page, so that the article is more approachable for the reader. As I cannot take a picture of Rihanna for my article, I am planning to take a photograph of an Umbrella covered in Jewellery which relates to one of Rihanna’s iconic songs umbrella, and the jewellery also relating to the R'n'B image.
