Double Page Spread progression

 

Here is my origional image I used for my double page spread,I began with this medium shot of the model who I have named 'Raya-Leigh'. She is wearing a flower band on her head a this fits in with the festivals I have featured in the magazine as you always see people wearing them at festivals. I used a greenery area to take this photo, so it sort of represents freedom and life. Her hair is blowing across her face making it look elegant and as if she is care free, which is what young people supposedly are.

 

First of all I have added a white box over the image for the background of the article. I then added the red box so that would be the background for the title, I made the title  the same style as the masthead and the contents page title so you can see a flow of synergy. Also it contrast's and clearly stands out from the background and image. I put in the black circle with OT (Overtone) loves, because I saw it in my double page spread which I looked at and got inspiration from and thought it looked good and professional. I also started to add text for my article.

I have now started to add another side/ article about albums that everyone is talking about and included well known bands in the indie genre of music so that would attract my target audience as they are popular bands that they will most likely listen to and like. I have also added little images of them so it gives them something to look at as I know my target audience are people aged between 16 and 25 so they most likley prefer imagery also my research confirmed this. However the images do not detract attention from the main image.

 

I have just continued to finish of my side article and put in another popular indie band 'The Kooks' that I know will intrest my target audience. I have also added a red partition line to clearly deide the two articles.

As you can see I have completed the main article based on the exclusive interview with the Raya-Leigh about the effects of fame. I made the text black so you can clearly see it against the white background. I have put in a black pertition in between the texts so it devides it into shorter paragraphs. I have included in the article a pull out quote/ speech to mage it look more professional. Also I have completed the side article which includes information about their albums and where you can get it.

Here is my double page spead completed, I have just cleaned up all the edges ensured everything is place, neat and looks professional. Also I moved and made the title smaller as it was blocking some of the image.
