Double Page Spread Constuction

Double Page Spread Construction

First I created a plan of how I wanted my double page spreads to look. I did this so I could tell where I wanted to place photos, where I wanted to put my content, and where I wanted to place my page design elements.

After creating my flat plan, I could then start my construction. I started with the basic layout, keeping in mind, where my text was going to be placed and where I wanted my design elements to go.

After I had finished my construction, I noticed that one of my page numbers did not match up therefore I changed it and checked that everything was perfect.

I then added in the text and added a pull quote. I also added my design elements: page numbers, magazine identity, page design, borders, and backgrounds.

This is my final double page spread.

Final Front Page

Front Page Drafts

This is what i thought was my first final front page. I then realised that after reviewing the page, and receiving an extensive amount of feedback, I realised that my shade of red, was to dull and not catching the readers eye. Therefore I increased the brightness of my red.

With my increase in brightness sorted.

This is my final front page.

Contents Page Drafts

This was my first draft of what I thought was going to be my final contents page.

However after more research was conducted I decided I needed to include more images on my contents page. Therefore I decided to rearrange my page and add more images to make the contents page look more life-like and professional.

However after adding in images I decided I wanted to use one of the images for my double pages spread, therefore I had to replace the image with another image I have.

After my final review, I decided that the best decision was to change the colour of the page numbers over a few of the images. I did this so that they were clearer and easier to read. I also realised I had put the wrong page number on one of my inserted images, in the left hand column.

This is my final contents page.
