Double Page Spread





Double page spread Photo

I chose this shot for the other page of the double page spread because this is also refers back to the title ‘The man in the mirror’. The two small images on the sides have been placed because it shows a lethal side of the artist. I wanted to create a more fierce look of the artist.

I chose to take this picture because the article for the double page spread was referred the ‘the man in the mirror’. I chose to take these because the serious face impression is reflected into a more happy face. This is showing a more serious side and a more enjoying side of the artist.

Contents Page photo

For my contents page I chose to take this type of shot because looking through content pages I saw that most of the models were standing u so I thought to do something completely different but keep the model pose effective.

I chose this model pose because this is a rare pose used by magazines such as vibe, XXL etc. This pose stood out to me because the model is sitting down and most importantly has the angle of gaze straight at the reader. Also this model is shown sitting down therefore showing that this model has a higher authority.

Final double page 4

After adding the introduction I decided to add the article. I chose to put the interview questions in black and the answers in white because these two colours are part of my colour scheme and also these two colours contrast each other.

Final double page 3

After adding the title and the pictures I added in the gradient, I chose the same colour gradient because I wanted to keep the theme consistent. Then I added the introduction into the article. I chose to use the colour blue because it goes with the original colour scheme I chose to use for my magazine.

Final double page 2

First for my double page spread I added the title. To make my title stand out I added a drop shadow and then I added bevel to make it stand out. After adding the title I added the pictures, I chose to use images on both pages to make the reader engaged.
