2. Whilst the construction of my double
page spread was used on a different
Adobe format, Adobe InDesign, the
steps shown will be a tad different
than previous posts concerning the
construction of my work. However
here are the steps taken:
3. Manipulation of Image 1&2 (first page):
The following two images were used in the first page of
my double page spread, these images were however not
manipulated in any way. On the other hand, the only
effect used on these images was the feather effect that
can be found in the toolbar within the InDesign program:
5. Step #1:
With the lack of colour showing as the background of the double page spread, I
decided to go with a lighter gray tone to adjust the blank approach that the
document was representing at first, and this is not something I wish my piece to
connote.
6. Step #2:
In this step, I simply added the titles of each article, using the same font in some
words, however in a couple of letters I adjusted the font for a more aesthetic and
contrasted appearance within the double page spread. (Didn't want the articles to
look the same).
7. Step #3:
In this step, it shows the red "tips" texts added to the second page, another way of creating
contrast between the pages was to use the red toned font.
8. Step #4:
In this section, I added the link to the video on the "Base-Chase" website, and also added the
sub-headings to each page. (Noticed above the article titles on each page)
9. Step #5:
In this stage of the construction, I added specific graphics using the "rectangle" tool which would
give me a solid guideline of where my content would be arranged on each page, whether the
content being images or text. (However some graphics were used simply to give an aesthetic
effect to each page).
10. Step #6:
This stage simply shows the addition of the sub-headings in each box (where images will be
placed) on the first page, and the page numbers on both pages.
11. Step #7:
With the addition of the images of DJ Lou and GRAM, my double page spread is beginning to
give a connotation of its "Hip-Hop" based style, with the stances and also the pose DJ Lou is
showing in the second image.
12. Step #8:
After adding the text to the double page spread, I incorporated a contrast between red and
black fonts to emulate a variation in artist throughout the double page spread. The final spread
is shown below:
