The document outlines the steps taken to design a double-page spread (DPS) for a music magazine, including layout planning and article placement. It details the addition of an interview about the artist's album 'Revelation', along with images and design elements like colors and exclusive stamps. The final version includes a reworded quote and pug for improved presentation.

1. The Sound

2. Here I added the some gridlines to help plan the layout. The middle line
indicates the middle of the page where the fold will be. The second is the
middle of the second page giving me a better idea where the article will go.

3. Here I started adding the basic outlines for the article box. There is the outline
which shows where the text will be inside. There is the centre line which shows
where the columns will be and there is a box in the middle which I will put
something in but I m not sure what yet.

4. Here I planned the page more as I thought I would have to plan a lot on the DPS
as it is big and needs to be set out properly. I decided to put information about
the artists album inside the box. His album is called ‘Revelation’.

5. Now I have added the article into two text boxes. I typed up the Q and A style
interview on word and copy and pasted it into the text boxes. I also added a Pug
to make the interview sound more interesting and quote to the right hand side
page. I added some small page number too.

6. Here I have added the main photo to the article. I took the photo with the artist
to the right with the bushes filling the back ground and to the left as I thought
it would be better than just a plain coloured page. I also changed the colours of
the text and box background as I was experimenting to see what looked best.

7. Some music magazines have an individual stamp that they put on DPS’s to show
they are exclusives so I wanted to make one of these. I made one circle bigger
than the other and one white and on black. I added an arrow to make a gap. The
I started to spray the outside to make it look less bold and outstanding.

8. This is my finished DPS with the stamp and the final choice of colours. I also
reworded the quote and pug as they were similar and wasn't worded the best.
