2. • To create the double page spread I’ll be using the software ‘Adobe InDesign
CS6’ and to edit the photo’s I’ll be using ‘Photoshop’ then I’ll transfer the
images onto the double page spread.
• At AS Level I used InDesign to create front cover, double page spread and
contents page for the task so I feel I’ll be able to use the software to a good
standard to create a good project.
3. As I am creating a
double page spread
when I opened the
new document in
design the first thing I
had to do was add two
page. I done this by
using the ‘Pages’ tab
which then allowed
me to add the pages.
After I created the pages I then used the
‘Rectangle Frame Tool’ which is going to allow me
to use a image as the background.
I left the background
without a colour as I am
going to be using an
image to cover the full
double page.
4. First I took a picture of hands
reaching for the apple. This
image was taken to be used
for the background of the
double page spread. I then
put the image into Photoshop
to edit.
After I put the image into
Photoshop I then used the
‘Grayscale’ effect to change
the colour then used the
‘Blur’ tool to blur out the
hands and make the apple
clear.
5. After I put in the background
on the double page spread I
started to add the main text
which was the title and sub-
heading. Throughout the
whole double page spread I
decided to use the same font
which was ‘Bodoni’ because
it relates to the old Greek
times which links to the
short movie. I slyly broke the
codes and conventions of
normal double page spreads
because the normally have
the title of the movie but
instead I chose to use the
production name of the
company which is ‘Big &
Better’ and a sub-heading
which introduces the new
production company
explaining how they adapted
the Greek concept of ‘The
Trojan War’.
The objective of the sub- Also I made the title be in the Also to make it easier I also added at
heading is to get the reader middle of the page with the font for the readers to the bottom the
interested in the release of size of 150 so it could stand out navigate around the website of the
the movie and how the to the audience as the main text magazine from the magazine so
production company has and so I could also place text contents page I readers can
gone about adapting the film above and underneath. added page numbers access online
to modern scenarios. at the bottom. services.
6. To complete the double page spread I added the review on the short movie that I
wrote in word and copied and pasted into InDesign then I decided where to add
the text on the page, like I said before I placed the main title in the middle so I
could place the review text underneath and at the top I added the films details and
a quote from the movie.
7. I used the circle
tool on InDesign
which allowed me
to create a black
circle which I
wanted to add text
to so I could place
it at the top of the
double page.
As you can see I added
text the font I used was
‘Bodoni’ and made the
text colour ‘Gold’ I used
this feature so when the
reader is looking at the
article they know that this
is a new release coming
out.
8. After I added all text
onto the double page
spread following codes
and conventions of
normal magazines I felt
I needed to add an
image from the movie
which would interest
the audience and give
them a insight into the
movie. Where I added
the quote from the
movie I decided to add
the image next to that
and the character who
said the line.
Before adding this image onto the double page
spread I used Photoshop to change the
lighting to ‘Soft Light’ which made the image
lighter and changed it to high quality as it was
a bit blurry.
9. This is the final version of the double page spread.
