1. Creating My Double Page Spread

2. I started by choosing a few pictures I thought I would include in my double page spread I like the image on the right as she looks really happy and casual and normal. I like the image below as I think it will work well if it goes across the double page and has the story around her. I like the picture on the left as she looks very deep and intense which shows a different side to the picture above.

3. I started creating my double page by editing my main photo. I flipped so I would be able to have the title just next. I also cut it out so the image had no background. I made some other minor changers such as removing any blemishes on her face. I created an A3 layout and put in 6 columns so I would be able to base the columns in my magazine evenly around these set ones.

4. I then created a black banner across the top of the page with a small black rectangle with the artists name Cory Harper in the top right hand corner. This is to make the top of the page a little bit more interesting. I used the font was ReservoirGrunge

5. Next I drew a black box and wrote some appropriate questions that fans may ask. I made this bold and the answers normal. I thought the black box on the white background would be quite affective. But I thought it didn’t quite look right. I took pictures of some of my close friends that looked like they had been sent in and put each picture next to a question as I have seen this done in KERRANG! magazine.

6. I wrote a quote I thought would engage the readers as its fun and quirky. I also made this blue to match the caption and I just chose that font as I thought it was the type KERRANG! Magazine would use. I added the name of the artist as the main title and use the font Reservoir Grunge again so the fonts were fairly consistent. I used the font Verdana for the text underneath as its fairly simple and I knew I could use it for the main text. I also made this blue as I decided I wanted my colour scheme to be black, white and blue.

7. I added page numbers to the bottom of each page which made it look like a proper magazine. I also wrote my story which I thought was fairly simply. Each question is blue and bold so they stand out from the answer.

8. I added one last improvement which was an arrow to signal there is another page. I decided to another page as I thought mine was lexically sparse and the story was too short. I made the arrow blue to keep add a bit more colour.

9. I started my single page similarly to the first by adding 3 columns that I could arrange my text columns around so they were even. I also added a banner across the top to show it was the same article and keep it consistent and added the number at the bottom as on the previous page.

10. Next I set up my layout which is very simple but I think it will be very affective. The boxes I have drawn over the image on the left represent where the columns of text. The other spaces will be a quote and images.

11. With the text almost in place as it will be when the quote and images added I think the page looks a lot busier and immediately a lot more complete. Also the red lines underneath some the of the words show the language I have used in the interview. I have used slang and colloquial language to make Cory seem relatable and modern. Also I keep the question and responses the same format, with the questions blue and bold and the response just the normal font.

12. This is the final design for the extra page I have added to my double page spread. I added the quote in the same font as the main heading on the previous page and used the same colour scheme I have used throughout. This is to keep it consistent. Finally I added a picture of my model standing that fit nicely into the column and broke up the text.

13. This is the complete double page spread and extra page
