layout decisions for my dps

1. Double page spread:
Layout decisions

2. To start off I added the photo in and immediately altered the lighting to make the
background seem lighter and whiter to fit my colour scheme.

3. I then went on to use the healing tool to fix any of the blemishes that I could see on
her clothes.

4. I then went on to add in my title. This was a quote from the interview however I
then went on to change this as it looked better. After this was done I added in my
standfirst.

5. Following this step I added in my text and also picked out an interesting quote that
fit with the photo that I chose. In the image my artist is sat alone looking small which
is how the quote makes her sound. For my text I changed the colour of the questions
to red in an attempt to pull my colour scheme together.

6. Following feedback from a peer who thought that my image was too small, I made
the photo larger which filled more space making the magazine look more complete.

7. I added gaps in between the answers and questions to space out the writing and
make it easier to see the difference between the two.

8. I adjusted the size and location of the ‘Something’ to see what would look best. I
also added page numbers and changed the colours of the words me and music from
yellow to white as it wasn’t working very well with the yellow.

9. Proceeding from this I changed the colour of the box around the page number from
grey to yellow. I did this to make the pages better fit my colour scheme. I then went
back to re-edit the photo making the edges sharper and the picture work better.

10. To finish off my double page spread I justified the interview text and organised the
text around the body of the model.
