Double Page Spread Of My Magazine 'Clique'

 

Firstly for the double page spread I duplicated the layers in Photoshop and turned the top layer black and white then erased the parts of the photo we wanted to keep in colour. The outlining of the graffiti was in an orange colour but because the colour of our magazine is red I decided to change the colour to more of a red to stick to the theme colour. I then flattened the image and increased the contrast, lastly I used the ruler tool to measure just over half so I had enough space to write my interview out. I decided to go with a lack text box and white writing rather than a white text box and black writing due to it looking more professional.

I then finished of my double page spread in publisher by putting two columns in just like the 'XXL' magazine which I used as a template. I used three different fonts on this article so it was easy to distinguish between what was what. The first paragraph is an introduction and that's in the font agency and is size 14. The first letter of my article is in the same font and colour as the masthead to try stick to the colour scheme and consistency of my fonts. The main interview font is Adobe Garamond in size 11, although the fonts small it is easy enough to read when opened on a big page. The fonts I used were very simple, but so are the fonts on the 'XXL' magazine, also its an article and people don't want to be struggling to read what has been said.
