Constructing My Double Page Spread

One

First of all I opened a A4 Photoshop document and use the gradient tool to create my background. I then added in my chosen photos.

Two

I next added in my text by using the textbox tool and I then added in the album cover that I created using Photoshop.

ThreeI then added in the pull quote using a larger font size to make it stand out. I then added in the speech marks by creating two separate text boxes and using a much larger font size.

Four

I then began to create the opposite side of my double page spread by following a similar process. I continued the use of the black and white parallel lines using the gradient tool and then I added in my chosen photos.

I then open an A3 canvas and rotated it to a landscape view.

Seven

I used this A3 canvas and using copy and paste I took the A4 documents and place them on the A3 canvas to create a double page.

Eight

I felt that there were a few blank spaces so I added in another pull quote on the first page using the same method as described earlier in the presentation. I lastly added in the page numbers and the oversized ‘I’ to signify where the article started. I have seen this idea used in most of the magazines I have researched. I chose to use the same style numbers as I did from the contents to link the magazine together and if I had to create more of a magazine I would use the same font for all of the page numbers.
