1. The document describes the process of creating a double page magazine spread. It begins with setting guidelines and filling the background with a dark burgundy color and black to transparent gradient. 2. Rectangular frames are created and images are added, then edited using tools like the magnetic lasso and pen tools to cut them out and add texture. Additional boxes are made and images positioned within them. 3. Text is gradually added in different fonts and styles throughout the frames using tools like rotations and eraser to refine placements. Columns are used and images arranged around to complete the layout.

2. BACKGROUND
I began by adding a guideline in the center, in order to know where
each page would start and begin. I then simply used the fill tool to fill the
background colour to a dark burgundy.

3. GRADIENT
I then added a linear gradient fill going from black to transparent, I
changed the angle of the gradient to make the background fade from a
near black to the burgundy from before

4. INITIAL FRAMWORK
I selected a rectangle with the rectangular marquee tool and filled it
white, I rotated it and adjusted it, before selecting to the halfway point on
the right hand side and deleted any that went over on to the right hand
side. Leaving it on the top of the left page, where I wanted my title. I used
the pen tool to cut a small triangle out of the corner, purely for aesthetic
purposes.

5. FURTHER FRAMEWORK
I then used the rectangular marquee tool to create two more boxes on
the right hand page, adjusting them to a point I was happy with

6. MAIN IMAGE
At this point, I decided I needed an image, I found one of the pictures I
had taken, and felt was suitable and using a mixture of the magnetic
lasso tool and the pen tool I cut around the image, using varying levels of
feathering on my selections, to avoid harsh edges and create a more
natural looking cut.

7. FURTHER EDITING OF IMAGE
Deciding the picture looked almost too vibrant and didn’t quite fit in. I
decided that my image needed editing, so I used a hue/saturation filter,
turning both the lightness and saturation down to produce the image as it
is on the right.

8. SECONDARY IMAGE
I decided that another image would be a necessary addition to my double
page spread. So using the same techniques as before, I used the magnetic
lasso and pen tool with different feather radiuses in order to get the right
mixture of hard and soft lines. However the top of the head is cut off in the
image. So in an attempt to fix this I used the clone stamp tool to make some
additions to the hair (bottom left image)

9. POSITIONING AND EDITING OF
SECONDARY IMAGE
I decided to position my secondary image within the box I created on the
right. I created a clipping mask to limit it to the box. I then added a thick white
stroke to outline the box and the image. Then, edited it in the same way as my
primary image and created an additional clipping mask, to cover all but the
stroke giving the impression that the image was taken in a white walled studio
as is common in magazine photographs.

10. INITIAL TEXT INPUT/FURTHER
FRAMEWORK
I began with the text, using one of the fonts I have
used throughout (on my contents and front
cover.) in red. I rotated the text, and used the
rectangular eclipse and fill tool in a blue, to
coincide with the red and British colour scheme.
Rotating my underline and selecting it, I used the
eraser to delete any of the font that overlapped
the underline (bar half of the curve on the ‘y’ seen
beside, which I believe brings the text out a lot

11. FURTHER TEXT INPUT
Following the title, I added the introduction to my
article(left image) in a typewriter style font to reflect many
publications of the era in which my genre began. I
followed that up by adding a sort of overview of the
content of my article, in an attempt to attract theoretical
potential readers, using another font that has been used
throughout. I followed this up with a sort of footer (right)
and a small additional piece of text to follow my article in
the right hand box(above).

12. FINAL TEXT INPUT
Here was where I introduced my article, I decided to write it in two columns to suit
the width of the box, and replicate the familiar format of many articles. I used the
same typewriter font for the same reason as before, making the text from my
character black, and the ‘questions’ red. I shifted the text to fit around the image
and then I was practically done

13. THE VERY FINAL TOUCH
Finally, I just needed to add the page number. I began simply with a red box
(made with the fill tool and the rectangular marquee tool) I typed page thirty two
(the number which I mentioned on my contents page) and again I used a font
that I’d used throughout. I added an outer glow and changed the settings to
create a shadowy affect.
