Double Paged Spread Screen ShotsNumber Two

Eleanor Birtles

The first thing I did was open a new blank document and make the measurements to A3, and

the background transparent. I then rotated the page so that it was landscape.

I then chose my background I wanted it to link with my documentary advertisement so I used a

similar background to that.

I then inserted my image and positioned it, where I thought it might look better, than my previous double paged spread. My

next step was to add the text giving the name of the documentary, I wanted a text box around the text so that it

would appear more apparent so I chose blue as its the colour of the pool table and a small area of the ceiling on the left.

Next I duplicated the white text box containing the text to say that I had done the photography of my previous double paged spread and onto the new one. I did the

same with the details about the documentary (date, time and the channel)

The next thing I did was to insert my title for the page, I wanted this to fit the blue colour scheme as previously used, so that my double paged spread would look more

professional. Underneath the title I added text, displaying that I was the editor

I then began to work on inserting my article which was quite simple as I had already got the text as a word document so all I needed to do was copy and paste it into

Photoshop using the text tool, I started with the introduction part. Then the drop cap and first line of my article, then the remainder of my article. Inserting the pull quote

was easy I just duplicated the group that had the pull quote from my last double paged spread into the new page and moved the text around it. Inserting the picture

was also easy because all I had to do was to place in the image from my files.

My next step was to insert the TV that I had previously made I was going to use this to display the top five documentaries

of the week, I then inserted my text inside of the TV. I like the way this looked as it is definitely more interesting, than my

old double paged spread.

I then created the ‘Follow Us’ text box containing the web details of my magazines documentary page, I created this by using the rounded rectangle tool and again filling in the text box blue so that it fitted in

with the colour scheme. I then began to write in the same web addresses as I had used in my previous double paged spread, when I had the positioning of the text correct I placed in the logo for each of

the web pages.

The next step was to create the ‘Who’s Who’ section I wanted this to be a small section on my double paged spread so I created a small text box and then that would be the size that everything has to fit into. I made the title blue so that it would fit the colour scheme, I then palced in each image of the band members, as well as their

name and their role within the band. I did that using the text tool.

I then duplicated the group that was originally in my previous double paged spread onto my new double

paged spread. All I had to do then was to highlight the group and press shift+T which but a box around the

whole of the image so that I could reduce the size and let it fit in the way I wanted it to.

I then did the same thing with the ‘Secrets Untold’ and ‘Tough Education’. Creating the effect shown above. As some of the writing wouldn’t fit around my ‘Follow Us’ text box I spaced it out so that you

could still see the text.

This was my final result.
