Creating My Double Page Spread

I added the grid lines onto the page of where I wanted things to go making sure that I had laid out columns on the page. 

I then added the image that I wanted to use as the main image on my double page spread, once this was added I was then able to add in the text and other things onto the page making sure that they didn't distort or cover the main photograph. 

After inserting my head line and strap line I wanted to add the other pieces of text onto the page so that it would develop more of a structure.

The article was now almost finished as the text had been added.  

I added a drop cap at the start of the article and made key points in the text large so that they would stand out and catch the readers attention. 

After adding some colour onto the page which matches my house style of pink then I was almost finished and decided to add in some more photos in the black space that I had marked out at the bottom. 

My final double page spread was then completed and involves the conventions of a real double page spread along with having its own individuality.

Final Contents Page

This is my final contents page, it includes a main image of my model Ellie who is also shown on my final front cover. There is a column on the right side of the page that shows the audience/reader what page all of the different articles are on. It follows the same house style that my other products do and follows some of the main conventions that a contents page does such as the columns and a main image that is used to show articles in the magazine.

Double Page Spread Information

 These are 6 ideas that i have for the layout of my double page spread, in every layout plan i have included images, text, header (title) and pull quotes. This will mean that my double page spreads follow a structure and organised pattern making sure that the double page spread is up to the highest standard that it possibly can be.

I looked at a double page spread of a real magazine and looked at the main parts of it such as the image and the text, i annotated why the magazine did the certain things that it did to make sure that the magazine is a good and easy one for the audience to read whilst including all the main techniques. 

When looking more at different types of double page spreads i began to look at the page furniture that makes a double page spread good quality and simple to read. When creating a magazine double page spread you need to make sure that it looks professional and keeps organised so that the creator and the target audience are able to get the most out of their magazine.
