Making of my double page

spread

I had opened my image onto a Publisher a document and made my image fit exactly half way and equal to

ensure when producing my double page it was not going to be odd and I can determine how to put my text

in terms of the fold line.

I then added my mast head logo into the bottom right hand corner by opening it and dragging the fil across

and making it small enough to be read but not too small to not be hidden. I then use the text tool to add the number of the page ‘13’ next to the mast head to

make sure my text fit with conventions

I used the text tool again to give credits on the name of the artist, photographer and who wrote the article, I

chose the font Agency FB in the size 11

I then added the title for the page by using a pull quote rather than a title. I used the font type agency FB again

but in a size of 54 to stand out on the page and positioned it so the wording didn’t fall down the fold

line as it wouldn’t be readable otherwise.

I used the shape tool to add to straight lines to break up the pull quote from the article as I didn’t want the

text to look like a block of writing.

I used the text tool to add the photo credits and words in this section as I've seen it previously in NME and

Mojo and thought it would look professional and fill in the empty space

I added boxes around the name and photo credits and changed the opacity of the boxes by 67% and did this my clicking on the boxes to bring up the layer style.

I wanted the ‘playing at Reading and Leeds’ logo on the corner of the picture which I found in an old nme

magazine from 2009, to get rid of the dates I put a black box over the top of it to hide the dates and used

the brightness and contrast to make the images match. I opened the file and transferred it onto my double

page

I saved my Photoshop work as a working file and as a JPEG by clicking the drop down bar when saving and

clicking the JPEG option this saves my work as an image. I opened it onto publisher to add my text onto the file and added the drop cap by using the option

while adding my text. I used the column tool to make my magazine look conventional and split it up into

three columns

I wanted to add more to the page in terms of the image as I feel they was a lot of empty space, I added a track

list of songs and ratings which would appeal to my audience, i added the stars by using the shape tool on

publisher

I then saved the publisher document as a working file and a JPEG to open in Photoshop, I opened a Twitter and

Instagram logo and edited out the back ground by double clicking new layer magic wound tool delete. I

used the text tool to add the @ addresses

After creating a track list I wanted to create a album cover to go with it, I used an existing image of Harriet and deleted the back ground by double clicking new

layer magic wound tool delete. I

I transferred the image onto a square document so it looked like a album cover

I added text to make the album look realistic with the name and used the same font of Agency FB to ensure

my magazine had continuity
