The document describes the process of designing a double page spread (DPS) for a magazine. Key steps included adding an attention-grabbing title, inserting text and photo boxes, editing a photo to fit, writing a short introduction, and structuring an interview article across multiple columns. Color, fonts, and positioning of elements followed magazine conventions to create a professional looking final DPS design.
2. I had stretched the text so that it would fit in the
block area, and following the association of being
strong.
I started by adding a very
iconic title for the DPS
which will grab the
attention of the readers
when flicking through.
3. Then I put in a text
box for where I was
going to put my text
involving the article
with the band.
Furthermore, I put the
picture box of the
singer I interviewed ,
which had to cover 1
whole page and a tiny
bit of the 2nd page.
4. The blue lighting really goes
nicely with the DPS as my
colour scheme is blue.
I had to edit the picture
so that it would fit
perfectly into the gap,
and that a lot of the
picture mainly contained
the gig surrounding and
not of him so I had to
crop it down.
5. In addition, I wrote
a little bit of text to
start the reader off.
This contains the codes
and conventions as most
magazines contain this bit
of text.
6. Following on, I then wrote a
small bit of writing which
stated that the photographs
and the article was written by
me. Following the codes and
convention’s all magazines
have this but will be in really
small writing.
7. This is my article
with Craig Pugh. I
had to make sure
that it filled at least 3
columns so that it
looked professional.
Set the questions and
the answers in different
colours so that the
readers are able to
know what is being
asked and what is
being answered easier.
8. As all magazines have
this, I put the page
number in as well as the
date and the name of
the magazine.
