Shannon created a double page magazine spread in InDesign about an artist named Olivia. She used a mint green rectangle as the background, added text in Bradley Hand ITC font to one page about Olivia, and an Eccentric Std title. The right page contains columns of article text. An image of Olivia was cropped to half page size and edited in camera raw to be black and white. A quote and photo credit were also added.

1. SCREENSHOTS OF
DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD
By Shannon Sloyan

2. I’m using InDesign CS6 to make my
double page spread. Next, I used the rectangle tool and shaped it
around the middle of the two pages leaving
a white boarder around the edges of the
double page spread. The colour is a mint
green

3. I then added text to the top right hand page,
the font is Bradley Hand ITC. Which is similar to a
teenage girl’s handwriting which is why I chose
to use that font as my magazine is aimed at
teen girls. The text says “gives us the low-down
on the pop lifestyle, her past and what is yet to
come.” Next, I added the title ‘Olivia’ to address
what the article is about. The font is Eccentric
Std and the size is 100.

4. I then added my article to the right page. I did it in columns
because I want to give my double page spread to look
professional and look like an actual magazine.

5. I cropped the image. So that the photo
can fit the whole half page.

6. I edited the photo on
camera raw. I altered
the clarity to +100, and
the vibrance to -100 to
make the photo
become black and
white.

7. I placed the image onto my double page spread. I
also added a quote that Olivia said in the article.
Along with a caption of who took the photo.
