The document describes the design process for a double page magazine spread. Key details include placing a cut-out of the subject over a black background on the left page with credits and a headline. On the right page, a cropped tilted photograph replaces the cut-out, with white background providing contrast. Text paragraphs are separated and arranged following the Rule of Thirds and stepping down pattern to guide the eye. Additional cut-outs and photographs with outlines are used to connect the pages visually.

1. Double pages

2. LEFT PAGE
 After selecting the black
layer, I placed the cut-
up of the subject
 And then I added the
information of
photographer, makeup
and hairdresser etc at
the top left corner
 Afterwards I placed the
headline at the top right
corner and change the
colour to yellow, as it
stands out from the
black background.

3. LEFT PAGE
 I then inserted a frame at
bottom right corner for the
fact file of the subject
 After rasterizing the layer
of ‘Mister. Q’, I filtered it
with texture and it
automatically changed into
this colour(which I didn’t
expect, and is really
pretty)
 However the name would
be too plain on its own so I
inserted a Victorian-
ornament logo above.

4. LEFT PAGE
 I inserted all of the
texts with reference
on my final draft(and
it’s just what I
expect!)
 The subtitles are
quotes in orange
colour
 The colour scheme is
simple in order to
prevent the focus
from being dragged
away

5. LEFT PAGE
 Two extra cut-ups
of them are placed
on some particular
space that I think is
a bit too plain.
 The cut-ups are
outlines in orange
to relate to the
general colour
scheme of the left
page and they will
be spotted more
easily.

6. RIGHT PAGE
 Instead of having the cut-up of
subject(which has already been
applied on the left page), I
decided to place a cropped out
photograph of the subject
 The white background of the
photograph creates binary
opposition and makes the right
page slightly different, otherwise
similar layout will make the
double page look boring.
 I also slightly tilted the
photograph, showing an
edge, the page looks a lot better
with this because it isn’t a fixed
photograph which just placed
along the edge

7. RIGHT PAGE
 Instead of the long
paragraphs all put
together, I separated
them into smaller
paragraphs
 I put them in a ‘step-
down’ way, alongside
the Rule of Thirds
which has been
analysed in my form
research
 the subject is facing
left, ‘looking’ at the
texts, audience will
follow his position and
read the texts in a
‘stepping-down’
pattern

8. RIGHT PAGE
 Then I inserted another
outlined cut-up
- shows connection with
the left page
 Beside there’s another
photo of the other boy
- informal (talking)
- looks more realistic and
comfortable in a friendly
way
 Removing the sharp
edges looks more
comfortable which
appeal to my target
audience

9.  Finally I added an
‘ultimate’ quote of
them in response
to the headline
 Some of the words
lay on the
photograph
- this reduces the
formalness of the
strong colour
contrast of the
photograph

10. My final Double Page Spread
