The following is the first version of the Double
page spread for my music magazine. Currently I have not taken any original
photography for my magazine and so I have used a place holder where imagery
will be. This draft is representative of my final product.
As you can see above, I have taken a large amount of
inspiration from Rock Sound’s design for their double page spreads. In Rock
Sound, they tend to do multiple Double Page Spreads about one artist/band. Because
of this they have one double page spread that is almost an “Introduction” to
the feature. On this page, there is one bar of text (as you can see on the
right side of the page) that “sets the scene” if you will, they then go into
much more detail in the following Double Page Spreads.
I have chosen a theme of white, black, the magazine’s
house colours (redish) and *Blue*. *Blue* represents any colour that will
create symbiosis between the artist and the magazine, for example, if the
artist has a blue shirt on, I will use blue. I have chosen to use white
backgrounds to my text boxes to give the text clarity over the main imagery
that I will use.
In the bottom, left corner of the double page, I have
included a pull quote, the positioning of this is not solid, when I have taken
my photography and imported it into PagePlus I will decide a more permanent
position for it.
As you can see, I have used a place holder where my
main image will be, my main image will cover the entire double page spread, but
will be set to the back – because of this I will need to take this into consideration
when taking my photographs.
My page numbering is evens on the left and odds on the
right, as though page one is the contents page. I have ensured that these page
numbers are identical to the page numbers I have provided on the contents page, this gives the reader consistency.

my article is incomplete, this will be added in once it is complete*
