To make this double page spread I had to create more pages in InDesign so that it was a double page and not just a singular page. I started by putting in a large image on the left hand side of the page. To do this I created a box the size of the page and placed an image in there. Then I created the title of the article. I had to use a large font that stood out and was clear and easy to read. Also I had to make sure that the title of the article related to the image on the left hand page. So as the image was of a boy posing with a bin I decided it would be about cleaning up but in a different way, in terms of music. Then I created the logo of the magazine which had to be small but on every page to keep the theme of the magazine throughout. I put one on each page at the top left and right hand corners. Then I added page numbers so the reader would know what page they were on. I then added an introductory paragraph which had to give a bit more information about the article and the text had to be fairly large so it would stand out but too large to be bigger than the title. I filled the columns with placeholder text so that i could see what my article would look like when the columns were filled.
Then I added an image to the middle of two columns and wrapped the text around the image so that it can still be read and looks good adding a bit of interest to the article. I then used the viewing mode preview to look at my work without the column lines.
Then I made the text all line up at both sides so that it would look neat and professional.
