The document outlines the 6 stages of creating a double page magazine spread. It describes adding photos, text, quotes and adjusting colors and layout at each stage. It also shows 2 variants created, with one rejected for not fitting the target audience without a photo.

1. Magazine Double Page Spread
Plan
By Nick Fitch

2. Stage 1
1. I opened
photoshop and
made a solid
black colour
layer.
I then added a
photo of my
subject, I’d decided
upon having a
photo covering
most of the left
page.

3. Stage 2
2. I changed the
photograph, added
a secondary
photo, typed up
the text and a
colour scheme
became apparent. I
warped the text
around the photo
fro emphasis.

4. Stage 3
3. I added a quote on
top of the text to add
interest and pull,
I modified the text
and adjusted the
colours to my colour
scheme.

5. Stage 4
• 4. I added a quote
onto the top of the
photo page. I
modified the text to
stand out and
lowered the bottom
layer’s opacity to give
an interesting effect.

6. Stage 5
• 5. I added a
miniature ‘album
preview’ to the
bottom of the
text page, I also
included a date
of album release.

7. Stage 6
• 6. I adjusted
text, added an article
title, adjusted colours
e.t.c and changed the
general layout.

8. Variants of Double
• These are some
of the variants
of double page
spreads I made.
• This was an
initial draft and
a few of the
ideas were
shown in my
finals.

9. Variant of double
• Another double
page spread I
produced, this
was without a
photograph, we
both agreed that
it didn’t fit the
targeted
audience.
