Draft Double Page Article for my Magazine.

This is my first draft for my double page article for my rock magazine. I included most of the necessary elements of a double page article and tried to maintain a professional and strong outcome.
However after discussing with my target audience about what they thought to my double page I was presented with very negative reviews. The first point I was presented with was that my double page is "very plain and boring" and that they felt that it is not very interesting and doesn't look like a typical rock magazine article as it is missing the rough and rock like feel. A rock magazine is normally a direct connection to the rockstar life style which is very crazy and spontaneous and this isn't found in my double page. The image in the background also takes the attention away from the writing and the use of just "Interview with Remy Lebeau" is just very plain and does not interest my target audience.
However the audience think the image used is very good and the use of font is something that should not be changed.

To address these negative responses I am going to re-evaluate the layout of the magazine and try and create a stronger connection to the rock genre. I am going to increase the number of photos on the double page and try and create a more creative double page article.
