Double page spread development

This shows what I have done with my double page spread so far.

First of all I placed my image on the right hand side of the double page I made it slightly overlap to the left hand side to make it obvious that it is connected to the text on the left hand page. I split my pages into three columns on each so that the text would be laid out in the proper format for a magazine. I then copied my text into each of the columns and adjusted the size so that it would fit into the space it had. Then I created the title for the page, I selected a big and bold font so that it would stand out from the rest of the page. Using the colour selection tool I carefully selected the colour of the jumper that the subject is wearing in the adjacent image. Then using this colour I made the text of the title the same and used a black stroke outline to make the text stand out and so it was clearer to read. Then I used the same colour to add the introduction to the piece to keep the same style throughout. Since the article mentioned Facebook, Twitter and the magazines website I thought that it would be appropriate for me to mention what the Facebook, Twitter and the websites, website addresses were so that the reader could use these as another way of enjoying the magazine. I then decided that the magazine would need to promote the artist more than just an article so I decided to offer a free Mp3 download so that it not only gets the reader interested in the artist but gets them to go on the website. I added the strip of colour to add more interest to the page which would also draw a reader in.
