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
