Creation of Double Page Spread

CREATION OF MY DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

Here you can see that I have continued to use the theme of a banner for my title as I did on my contentn .n cpage. I have inserted a banner along the bottom in pink and included a magazine website. There are 2 bubbles in either corner to show the page number and there is a wrecking ball coming in from the right hand side to symbolise who the articl. Tis about this is in green some e  a black chain and white writing inside. The background is a lilac colour. Next you can see that I have inserted "Rae" in between the main subjects name, as her whole name is Miley Rae Cyrus.

Here you can see that I have begun to input text below the main title, it is an introduction to the article that will be below. I have also added in some boxes outlined in blue that I know where I will be putting the main body of t
he article. I have also changed the font of the numbers in the bottom corners of the page.









Here you can see I have removed the boxes and added some text which is the beginning of the article.












I have changed the article that I have put in and changed the colour and type of font. I have also included blocks to make the text stand out easier.

 

Next you can see that I have introduced a starburst behind the wrecking ball and a block to engage the audience further beneath that. I changed the font on the article to make it stand out more and I changed some of the colours to make it easier to read.

After that i finished the first section of the article by adding in another line which completed the question and answer section.

In these next photos you can clearly see that I have put in a large blue box, an image and small pink box. The blue box contains the remainder of the article with a single question from the 'Editor' to the artist then there is a message to the readers from the editor. I have also made a design in pink to go over the part that says "Our Turn" to make it look better. The image is of a young teenage artist singing. It is a block image with a black background.

Here you can see my final double page spread before my review. As you can see I have spaced the text evenly and made the 'pink box' white so that it stands out easier. I have also made some of the text bigger to help this.

 After I recieved my review I needed to tone down the colours so they were pastels tomatch the rest of my magazine. I added two small images to the banner at the bottom of the page so it would link nicer to the target audience of young teenagers. Next you can see I have made small bubbles encircling the names, this was to link with the contents page. I am not  hapoy with my choise of colours so I will change this next time. Finally, I have inversed the colours on the wrecking ball so that the main colour is pink. I did this to make it appear more girly than before so it links better with my target audience.

I decided to remove the bubbles from surrounding the names and I have used small rectangles instead, this is still linking with the contents page but it is mu h more obvious now. I also changed the font of the names so that they were easier to read.

I made the purple banner stretch out horizontally across the top of the two pages and I have embossed the words 'MILEY CYRUS' this was to help it stand out. I have also added in a drop quote from the question and answer sectionin purple and white so it stands out. I wanted to change the font of the main article and I editted the contents of the introduction so that it sounded a lot better and it is now easier to understand. I removed the words 'our turn' from the right hand page because I was unsure whether it was neccessary.

In these images you can see that I have input bubbles surrounding the image in order to help it to blend in easier with the page as it is quite dark. I think this looks really good. Finally I have added a starburst to the bottom right hand corner to entice people to check online for a quiz. The starburst is purple and stands out from the blue background well.

On my final edit of my double page spread I added in the words 'question time' where it used to say'our turn'. This is a clear link to the contents page as this is what the page is labelled in the table of contents. I have outlined the wrecking ball in black to make it look more striking and help it stand out so that people can see the text inside the wrecking ball quicker. The final thing that iI did was input some pink embossed question marks just to reassure the fact that these were questions asked by the public and also to show the main theme of that page.
