Double Page Spread (STAGE 3)

I then did mainly the same for the second page.
Using the same fonts, colours and sizes I typed up the rest of the interview.

At the top right hand corner I added a rectangle, the same colour as the heading and they made up some tour dates of 'Rose Page.' I used slighty bigger fonts for this as it was a smaller box so didnt need as much text in. Also so that it stood out.

Double Page Spread (STAGE 2)

When I inserted the photo's I positioned the one on the first page so that there was room above it for a heading.
I knew that the main colours used on my double page spread should be black, orange and red because they were the colours I had used throughout the rest of my magazine.

As I had used Bookman Old Style font for most of my magazine so far, I decided to use a didnt one for the heading. I chose to have the heading in italics, size 70pt, in the font Monotype Corsiva and in pink/red colour. I decided all these as I thought that they suited the page and magazine well. And because size 70pt helped the reader understand straight away what this page was about as there attention was drawn too the heading.


On the first page of my double page spread I typed up the draft I had written for the interview with 'Rose Page' making a few changes to it.

I used went back to using bookman old style font for the writing, and used a size 13 font. This size was the most appropriate for the amount of text I wanted on the page.

I decided to use different colour text for the questions and answers so the reader could easily distinguish between each.

I used orange for the questions and black for the answers.


Once I had typed up nearly all of the interview for the first page I realised that the page looked uneven in a image:text ratio. So instead of putting more text in the bottom right hand corner I chose another image I had taken to put there.

As all the other images on the page were posed images, I chose a candid image.

Like the other pictures on the page I inserted an orange boarder.

Double Page Spread (STAGE ONE)

From my planning of photo's I had a ruff idea of what photo's I would be using my double page spread.
Once I had chosen my photo's I opened two photoshop documents and inserted one pictures on the top of the first page, then the other two pictures onto the second page.



I then added boarders to the pictures, as I had done this on my front cover and contents page so this would make the magazine consistant.

On photoshop I had edited these pictures, as some of the backgrounds look really dark.
I mainly used the blurring, paintbrush, cropping and smuding tool to do this.

I then did this with the other photos.
