Double Paged

Spread Progress

The first thing I did was open a new document in Photoshop but I had to change the measurements of the page to A3 because

that is the size I needed for my double paged spread.

The next thing I did was to go into the image tab and select the image tab and then rotate 90 degrees

The next thing I did was to open my image in a Photoshop file , I had to make it fill the page size because I think that it

would make a better double paged spread

I made sure that I didn’t stretch the image by making sure that when I

made the image bigger I held down the shift key at the same time.

I had already converted my image into a black and white in a camera raw file, in Photoshop.

The next thing that I did was create my text, I experimented with a variety of different styles of font, in order to come up with a satisfying result.

I then added a diagonal line underneath the band name to add an extra effect to the title, I also think that it goes well with the colour scheme.

My next step was to add a line down the middle of the page to make the page look like it has more of a crease in a real double paged spread would I did this by drawing one black straight line (IMAGE ONE), making a new layer then and then

drawing another two straight lines on either side of the black line in white (IMAGE TWO), making the crease start to develop more. I then changed the opacity of the white to make it a bit lighter I then opened a new layer and drew

another light white line (IMAGE THREE), my last step was to add another line using the paintbrush tool, in black, by doing this I have finished the look of the crease in the middle of my double paged spread I think that this was a very successful

way of adding a good effect to my double paged spread.

My next step was to insert a drop cap, I experimented with the different fonts and colours and the in the end I settled on the black ‘W’ in the font called

The next thing I added onto my double paged spread was the page numbers this was quite an easy step and it didn’t take to long although I did have to position the numbers so that they were aligned symmetrically on either sides of the page.

After inserting the drop cap for my double paged spread I then went onto add in my little introduction to the double paged spread after completing my research I found out that many other magazines used a little introduction at there beginning of their articles with a drop cap on the first letter.

I then began to add in my text to the double paged spread.

This was quite a time consuming task because I had to position the words so that they evenly fitted around the main image on my double paged spread, the only way I could do this was to copy and paste the text in bit bybit and then by just using the spacebar I evenly fitted all of the text around the main image.

I also added different colours for the text, I used a white bigger font for the interviewer, and the questions that they had asked. I used a purple colour for Dakota’s dialect. And a maroon coloured text for Rose’s dialect. The font for Dakota and rose was slightly smaller than the interviewers text.

On this slide I have carried on to show the screenshots of my progress when I added in he text.

My final step was to add the pull quote to my double paged spread, from my initial research and analysis I found that this was also a component

that was on all magazines double paged spread articles.
