Firstly I added a blue rectangle, using the rectangle tool, across the two pages for my masthead to be placed in.
Then I added a text box and wrote my masthead. I increased the size, changed the font and the colour using the character formatting controls.
The ‘W’ ended up being to wide to mirror the ‘M’, so I created another text box with an ‘M’ in and rotated it by 180°. I then grouped the two text boxes together, so that I could move them at the same time.

I then created a text box underneath the masthead for the standfirst and byline.
Next I created a text box for the article and changed the column number to three.
I then filled this text box with place holder text so I could see how the layout looked before I entered in my article.

After that I opened a landscape A3 page in Photoshop and painted a blue layer, with different shades and opacities of blue.
Next I googled an image of clouds, copied it across to Photoshop and inverted the colours. I then selected the clouds individually and used the define brush preset tool.

By creating brushes out of the cloud images, this meant that I could then paint clouds onto the blue background to create a cloudy sky background for my double page spread.
I created a slightly purple cloud around where my model was going to be placed so she stands out more.

I then placed the background into the InDesign document behind the other layers.
Next I placed my magazine masthead into the top left corner of the first page.
After that I made a mask of my main image on Photoshop and got rid of the background by painting around the edges in black.

Next I edited the colour balance and brightness/contrast of the image, so that it was in keeping with the colour scheme.
I then placed the image into InDesign, after deleting the background layer on Photoshop, and resized it to fit the page.

To finish off the double page spread I pasted in my standfirst and article, edited the headline, and created a pull quote.
