Production of My Double Page Spread

DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

PRODUCTION

I have used a pull quote (bottom) over my image, as this is a common trait in almost all magazines. It gives the reader a

small taste of the style and tone of the article.

However, when I put this over the image, due to the Take Cover, it was quite difficult to read, to improve this, I used white and black shapes (top left) to give the text a solid

backing.

PULL QUOTE

I have included a page number in the bottom outer corner of each page. I have then inserted a copy of my masthead on

the inside side of the number, to create a sense of continuity. An example of one of my page numbers is shown below. This is on a right hand page, so would be positioned

in the bottom right hand corner, hence why the masthead is on the left.

PAGE NUMBERS

For my article, I have use a quite casual mode of address. However, I have not made it so casual that I

have included text language.

I have used a drop cap, as I have noticed this as a common trait of magazines with a similar target

audience as mine.

Another trait is the use of continuous prose, instead of a more conversational interview.

I have used black rectangles at 50% transparency to make my text

stand out of my multi-tonal background.

ARTICLE

Below is my article title. I used the Take Cover font so used a large white colour block behind it to make it stand out. I also used different font sizes, which I noticed in my research was

a used in Kerang! Magazine.

TITLE

I have include a fact file on the members of the band down the right side of the right page of my double page spread. I have noticed that this is a

common element used in magazine, most probably due to the fact that it connotes a

simplistic feel to the magazine.

I have used the Take Cover font all through the fact file to keep consistency. Also, to make this

even more consistent, I have used my three colours within my house style.

FACT FILE

I have chosen these images for my double page spread, as I think they look quite professional, due too the

shallow depth of field.

IMAGES

I have made the main photograph

for the background over both page. I have

used an image blend, an

element that I took from my

earlier research.
