The document describes the process of developing a double page spread layout. The author scanned in a drawing but had to adjust it by removing shadows and inverting it for better quality. They initially did not like the layout as it did not fit the rock theme. Through rearrangement of images and text, making images more transparent, and adding inverted text, the layout improved. Interviews were added in Word. Images of band members were inserted which shifted the text around until a final design was reached.

1. Development of Double Page
Spread

2. I drew this image and scanned it into the computer. The quality was not as desired therefore I
made some adjustments to improve the look of the drawing. By removing the shadows (using
the clone stamp tool and covering the shadows with the background colour, I was then able to
invert the drawing so the background was black and would merge well with my desired and
intentional idea of having black pages.

3. I didn’t like
the layout of
the image
here, as it
didn’t
convey a
Rock theme
to me.

4. • I changed the
arrangement
of the image
and the text
in order to
appeal better
to the eye.
The image of
the dice I
made more
transparent
too in order
for the text to
be seen.

5. • I added the
words ‘Wicked
Faith’ in my
chosen font,
that I again
inverted in
Photoshop. I
chose to have
it in the top
right corner as
It symbolised
the start of
the article,
and the image
displayed the
end, rather
than using
Drop Caps.

6. • After writing
my Interview
up in Word,
from the voice
recording I
took of the
interview, I
changed the
key questions
and names into
the continuing
colour theme
purple, but
something still
wasn’t right.

7. • I began by
inserting one
image of one
member of the
band, as
planned when
I decided to
only put one
member on
the cover. This
looked good,
especially after
changing the
formatting so
the text moved
around the
image. I
thought I
would
continue this
idea with more
images.

10. • When all of
the images
were added,
the text
shifted
along a lot,
but luckily
fitted
perfectly at
the end of
the page.
• This was the
final design
for my DPS.
