The document outlines the steps taken to create a double page magazine spread for an interview. It describes importing the typed interview into text boxes, making the questions red to stand out. Page numbers were also added using text boxes. A drop quote was placed above the main image in white text. The title was made using bold letters in a circle for effect. The main photo was edited in Photoshop to lighten a red area around the eye. The final spread uses consistent colors and formatting throughout to look professional and presentable.

1. Step by Step of My Music
Magazine Double Page
Spread

3. I used the text box tool to allow me to be able to import my
interview that I had typed up on Microsoft Word. I then proceeded
to make the questions red so that they stand out more as a stark
contrast between the black and white colours.

4. Next I added page numbers also using the text box tool as
this is a key aspect needed on the double page spread
because this allows the reader to reach the page they
want to immediately after they have read the contents
page

5. I have now included a drop quote that will be placed
above my main image. I have picked white as the font
colour to make the text stand out against the picture

6. I then made the title for my double page spread. The tools
I used to produce the effect on the title are the letters that
are bold in the circle. I like how my title looks as it stands
out against the extremely dark background and I also like
how there is a 3D effect on the letters

7. For my main image I decided to edit the photo on Photoshop as his
eye in the corner was red.

8. I then needed to select the red area using the lasso tool and
then chose the option refine edge. Once selected I chose the
feather option which made the redness less harsh.

9. I then needed to decrease the amount of redness in the image
by making the lightness brighter which would decrease the
amount of redness.

11. Here is my final music magazine double page spread. I think that in the end my
article looked professional and used the codes and conventions to make it look
presentable. I also made sure to use the same colour scheme that I had been
using throughout and made my masthead use the same colours also to make it
stand out and fit in with the rest of my magazine. My main image was bold and
the colours of black and grey made the artist stand out more. The artist had a
neutral expression on his face which also coincides with the genre of my
magazine. The masthead is also bold and stands out to the audience allowing
the reader to have an understanding of who the interview will be about as
leading lines allow your eyes to see the title first.
