Second Draft of my Double Page Spread article

With the problem arising of me having to alter the content of my article due to the main image being replaced from a female to a male, I had to re-address and completely develop an entirely new feature piece from scratch as the storyline seen before would not compute well for a male, in terms what would be perceived of his lifestyle and line of work (in this case the songs he produces). I kept to the same format of having a question and answer styled interview as it seemed more beneficial to me to use an already existing template to use for formatting my new cover story. However I decided on this attempt I would include some additional elements as I had discovered through my background research I had bypassed a few conventions that would be typically seen in a double page spread, in my opinion I could potentially improve the performance of my piece if these were included. For this text I added a kicker and two questions from celebrity singers in the alternative rock/ indie genre, not only as a major difference from my original article, but an attempt to increase the visual appeal further of my main feature, as the more attractive it appeared then the greater chance the audience would be intrigued to continue reading. Seen below is the second draft of the story with all the changes identifiable in what I have produced, before it can be fully submitted into my final task I feel it will be essential to gain the opinion of my lecturer first, this will ensure there are no errors I may have overlooked and to help identify any improvements that can be potentially be made to enhance the quality of the text.

Why is it that Cypher Lewins is afraid of ‘chicks?’ Why

did he mend the ties with his old pal Simon Cowell? And

what in god’s name is going on with his hair style? Sven

Davies puts musicians and our good old publics question

to our lord mighty graciousness

his piece speaks pretty much speaks for itself really. Or rather he does. Cypher Lewins has done it all.Conquered the charts, dominated the festivals (sorry Coldplay but THIS gentleman put you to shame!) and has the likes of Lana Del Rey bowing at his feet. Lucky guy. Despite only going viral wordlwide last year with his explosive debut album ‘Sirens’,which was number one for two months running I may add, he has been coined as the ‘new’ Noel Gallagher what with his sassy attitude and no shit nonsense he is gradually taken the god form from our old man. Yet that one small question remains. Who is the REAL Cypher Lewins? I was fortunate enough to diverge with his majesty during a break in his muli million pound world tour ‘Lights’ to answer the questions you our mighty readers composed of all the nitty gritty details you’s want answered. Not only that but it seems the celebrities are just as intrigued by his presence as a few shortlisted their personal enquiries to Cyrus. Hold on boys, this is gonna be a bumpy ride...

Nice ones first agreed?

Go for it

Have you ever been nervous performing since your success?

Fxcking terrified does not cover it, I mean seriously man the lights, camera, action thing it aint my things, sometimes I actually wonder yanno why I released that video? I am like the most introverted person ever on screen so when people can see my bulge? Bad crack. And the chicks? Don’t get me started, I’ve had flocks of them stalking me, heck once tried to break into my tour bus. That was not a happy moment.

Whats your wildest memory since your sky rocket to fame?

So I’m sitting in Mahiki,chilling, shotting on my own and this guy taps me on my shoulder and I’m like what the fxck.I turn round expecting some savvy record producer and there’s freaking Robbie Williams standing behind me offering me a free drink! I mean hey this guy aint gonna say no, so we spent the rest of the night bleeding the bar out, playing pool and rolling in trash cans at two in the morning.

Cypher we all want to know your hair secrets just how do you create your famous quiff?

(laughs) Now I wouldn’t want to be giving away my deepest darkest secret would I! Its all in the genes man runs in the famly you see, that and a little blow dry, straighten and gel wouldn’t go amiss

So what, hang on, you really strighten you hair?

Every guy should own a pair of GHD’s its in the ‘How to be a fxcking man’ rule book

We all know the gossip about yur famous despute with Simon Cowell, but tell me what was the real reason behind it?

Look I aint got any problems with the bloke, he’s a cool guy and I admire him for all the hard work hes put in over the years and the shit he’s been through - after all he was the one who originally gave me my contract in the first place, so I do have my due respects. However I wasn’t going to stand for all that bullshit his company (Syco) put me through. Just between you and me, they threatened to axe me if i didn’t sing this crazy song for them and put it this way, it wasn’t my style. I don’t conform to some crap people have produced for me, I’m in this buisness to work my way to the top not to be mollycoddled the entire journey. So I told them to stuff it, ripped my contract and fxcked off. Simon admitted he was in the wrong a few weeks later. Were cool now.

Where did you get yout sassy fashion sense from? Its not often we see you without your signature pair of trainers and coat

What can I say its all in the genes guys (laughs). In all seriousness I take pride in my appearance, I mean it wouldn’t be right to step out of my house looking like a fxcking hobo would it? Heck sometimes I care more about my clothes then paying my finances (he wasn’t joking on this one) Not very long ago I was approached by Empireo Armani (the clothing brand) to model for thei latest wear of trashy jeans, I’m sorry but Armani? My nan wears better then that shit! So I told them to go and fxck themselves basically.

A little birdy told me you had a recent stint in rehab,

Everyone has some shit going on in their lives, we fight, we cope, we recover but sometimes even I have to accept things can get a bit too tough to handle. I won’t go into the details but I’m glad it happened, its truly helped me to see what a greater person I can become out of all this. We shouldn’t be defined

by our fxcking problems.

The female boss Skylar Greyson flew in from LA to ask Cyrus her own personal question and believe us it was an explosive one..

I heard you are headlining Leeds this year? If so we may be performing together what do you think? (wink)

Well Miss curoisty killed the fxcking cat I may be, I may be not... Lets hope or your sake we are because we will make a mean live couple. No regrets ey?

Retro junkie Karma Van Herman spoke to Cypher via a live video link as he was desperate for his question to be fufilled...

You kid are crazier then Mr Gallagher himself and beleve me I’ve known that guy for years! How true is the rumor of getting thrown out of the X Factor studio for being high?

Erm maybe this isn’t the best one to answer my old man haha..

Cypher Lewins album ‘Lights’ is available on sale now in all major retail stores. Tickets to see him headlining VFest and Leeds Festival this year can be puchased online or from all ticket offices on Friday 21st.
