The document summarizes the progression of creating a double page spread for a magazine article. It describes editing photos of models to look old school, writing two pages of text in Word, adding a banner with film strip images and band logo, and placing quotes and text in three columns to make it neat and professional. The final spread balances a simple first page with more elements on the second page.
2. This is the first part of my double page spread; I edited an image of my two models, who are dressed in rock style clothing, so that it appeared as an “old” image, so it relates with the main quote used. “old school rock.” I used these models because their overall style seems suitable for a female rock band/duet!
3. For the text on my double page spread I typed it all on Microsoft Word before I will import the text into columns on my Photoshop document. I wrote roughly two pages to ensure I had enough text for this. I used a copy of a recent Kerrang magazine to help influence my interview.
4. I added a banner to the top of the page, made to look like a film strip so I could present several images from my photoshoot, and also to illustrate the page. I added text and two feather shapes to make it look like the logo of the band, to make the article seem more personal to the band.
5. I added two quotes to the page, and moved the text so it was placed around the shape, doing this entices the reader by having something that stands out without reading the whole article. So I chose two of the most interesting quotes from the article I had wrote.
6. All the text I have inputted into the document has been placed into three columns so it is easy to read, and to make the layout look more neat. Having columns also makes it appear more professional, as one full block of text may not look fit for a magazine.
7. This is the final finished image of my double page spread, I made the first page more simple so that it didn’t seem over cluttered.
