Photographs For Double Page Spread

In this lesson I had to chose which pictures I was going to use for my double page spread. Below is the picture I chose to put onto my double page spread, the other pictures are the ones I was going to use however did not end up using them.

This image is the only image I used on my double page spread. There was not enough room for another picture because I used this picture to cover a whole page so that the writing was on the other page. This worked well.

These pictures are the ones I did not end up using.










Photographs For Contents Page

Below are all the pictures I have used on my contents page. I had to pick which pictures I wanted to use in my contents page, I have also stated why I have chosen these pictures.

First, is the picture of a person doing a Loser sign with their hands. This picture relates to the Glee series as this is their signature hand gesture. Everyone knows it means Loser and will immediately relate it to Glee.

Second, is another picture of the same girl on my front cover, usually in magazines the person/people on the front cover have a different image on the contents page. I have chosen this image of her because I like it and it fits in the space on my contents page quite well.

Third, is a picture of The Saturdays at one of their concerts. I have chosen this picture because it fits into the space on my contents page very well and I like that they are sort of in the middle of dancing.

Last, is a picture of Tom from McFly at one of their concerts. I have chosen this picture because I like his face expression and I think it is a good picture. I made this the biggest picture on my contents page because out of all my pictures it is the best one.

Photographs For Front Cover

(Below are all the pictures I have used on my front cover. I have also stated why I have chosen these pictures)

I have chosen this picture as my main photo because I like that you can see her face up close and her top is bright and eye-catching. This is the only picture I have used on my front cover because I think that other pictures will draw attention away from the main image. 


Below are the pictures I took however decided to bot use on my front cover.

Production Of Double Page Spread

Here is a sketch of my double page spread. this will help me to decide4 what I will put into my final double page spread.

(Below are step by step screenshots of how I made my double page spread. I created this throughout multiple lessons. I will then hand a copy of it into my teacher so she can look at it to see how I can improve)









Unfortunately I had to cut some of the questions I asked in the interview off due to not having enough space. I also had to delete the picture of the person I interviewed. However all the questions I asked are below in the actual interview with the fan. Clearly you can see that the questions I asked are magenta and the answer I got are blue; this is so the audience can see which are the questions and which are the answers.


As you can see from the screenshot below I have changed a lot of my double page spread around. I have done this as it looks better also not all my interview questions would fit on therefore I added another page so the audience will be able to read all the questions. As you will also be able to see I have put in another picture of The Wanted (Max, Tom and Nathan). I think this is a good picture and the audience will like it which is why I added it in.



From the screenshot below you can see that I have changed my double page spread quite a lot, I have gona from 3 pages back to just 2 pages. I have gone back to the original picture I used becuase I had to move this onto a whole page. I made the image as big as the page so it really jumps out to the audience. Since my picture is on one side of the page my writing is now all on one side of the page. My title is over the picture as is my sub-headding. I have created a dropcap in order for the audience to know where the article starts. Think the layout is good and will be easy fo the audience to read/look at.
