Double Page Spread Step by Step
I have created a double page spread as part of my AS Media project. The first thing I did was create an A3 spread on photoshop for my double page spread. I then added a border to my double page spread os I could then see where the page would 'fold' in the middle if it was too be a real magazine. The next part of my process was to change the page colour (which I made an off-white). I downloaded font from dafont.com which was font that I had already used on the front cover for the main cover line (Bethany Brandy) and I used it again for her name in the background which I made grey and turned the opacity down on the name. I then added the image in which I took of my model. I changed the brightness, contrast, vibrance and saturation of my model to create the image in the middle, I also added a white outer glow. Then I duplicated layers of my image creating two more of the same images. I rotated one and added it to the right, the other one I added to the left. On both the left and right image I turned the opacity down. I then downloaded a sans serif font from dafont.com. The reason I used a sans serif font is because it makes it easier and 'cleaner' for the reader to understand. I started to type up my article onto photoshop which is an interview. I ten decided that I needed to wrap my text around the model so therefore I moved my process onto Indesign. When moving it onto Indesign, I wrote up the rest of the article using a different sans serif font from dafont.com. I outlined the model on the right on Indesign and then I wrapped the text around the outlined photo and it created the curve around my images. I then saved the text as an image and opened that image up back onto photoshop. My next step on photoshop was to highlight the interview questions in red to follow the colour scheme and make them stand out. When I finished that I decided to add my pullout quote, I used a font that I had downloaded from the font.com for this and I made it white with a faint black drop shadow. I then added the number for the bottom of the page which I made blue for ever to the front cover colour scheme and I again used font from dafont.com. For the final improvement process, I moved the quote around, added an extra quote to the top with the same effects as the other quote, I made the page numbers smaller as they were to large, I added an 'available on iTunes' referring to the artists new song, and I added a stylist and photographer credit.
