DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

CONSTRUCTION

Abbie Williams-Randle

MAIN TITLE

The main title was similar to the other main titles on my contents and front cover, as I felt that it was important to stick to a common theme throughout the magazine because I have seen this in magazines in general and how they stick to a colour scheme.

I developed the main title by adding a different layers and effects such as the drop shadow. To help with how the professional the magazine looked, with the use of the sub title I feel it added a sense of companionship between the readers and the writer of the article.

IMAGE With the main image for the double page spread (DPS) I felt the original image was too dark thus I used to Hue and Saturation tool to increase the levels of each to improve the photograph. I also tried to hue the image with different colours, though I feel the best was with out the hue and just increase levels of Lightness and Saturation.

ADD ONThese three where added on too show different ways to make the magazine look like a magazine. The first was concert dates for that band so publicity for the band, next there was the ‘Amp Approves’ exclusive stamp. This made it look like a magazine as normally has these exclusive stamps and pictures that tell you it is an exclusive article.

Finally the page number shows it is a magazine, so the page number is the same as on the contents as it is on the page in the article.

TEXTThe text was simple and followed conventions.

The questions where in a separate colour still blue to stick to the colour scheme.

FULL PAGE

The over all full page I thought it was really appealing and attention-grabbing. As the image is excellent and I honestly think the whole page looks professional and realistic.
