Double Page Spread



The double page spread will consist of the new girl group called 'Pretty In Pink.' I have decided to use the theme of pink on the double page spread, so then it relates to the girl group. The double page spread is an interview about them and consists of different questions in which both Abigail and Taiena answers them. Here I was able to change the colour and font to make it stand out more and look attractive and appealing for the readers.

I first started to insert the main image of Taiena and Abigail.I decided to insert this on the left third and took up the whole side of this. The cover line 'Getting Down To Business' was placed on top of the image, with the leading text underneath it. The slug is placed on the top of the right third as this is a main convention in which music magazine consists of. As you are able to see, I was able to follow my mock up, which made it easier to create my double page spread. The body text, is the 'Pretty In Pink' article and is written in my own words which relates to the new girl group as well as the overall theme of music.

I was able to make the main image more bigger by holding down on the 'shift' button, so then the image doesnt distort. For the article title, i changed the font and size and added a white backdrop behind so then it can stand out. I was able to change the font of the body text, so then it stands out and attractive, as well as inserting a pull quote which was used in the body text. The pull quote was added, so then the double page spread looks more professional and realistic. I then added an image of the girl group and editted it before I inserted it, by using the tool 'Magnetic Lasso Tool' to take away the pink background. I also added a page number which was placed on the bottom right third so then readers are able to see what page they are on. Furthermore, the leading text is placed underneath the article title and was able to change the font and colour if needed.

After doing all this, I made sure that I aligned everything, so then it is easier to read. Moreover, due to the body text being in the font as 'Broadway' I needed to change the font to a much clearer font so then readers are able to read it and is clearer. I also changed the font of the article title to Hand of Sean, so then it will match my front cover.

I then got feedback from my teacher and was told to consider changing the girl group to Pretty In Pink rather than Flawless. I also had many spelling errors which I changed throughout my interview. Moreover, I added an outro, to end the interview on a positive level so then readers are able to read more about the girl group of they wanted to. I also added a white backdrop on the page number, so then it will stand out to the readers.
