Double Page Spread Analysis

By Kiera Garrison

Version 1 Here I started of by putting a

main image on one side with the interview text around the image with some on the other page. The whole background on the left page is an image which is why I have put the image on a large scale so that the colour of the background fitted the whole page. I also added an image on the side of a close up of Shantelle as I think the image looks very effective.

Version 2 Here I put a background on the

right side on the double page spread so that it was the same colour as the background on the other side so that they match. I have also added two more pictures on Shantelle that are all different so that it shows different parts of her life. I have also put a grey outline on the pictures so that they stand out more from the background and they grey matches the colour of Shantelle’s dress on the main image. I have also lowed the text the is at an angle because it looked like it didn’t link in with the other text.

Version 3 Here I have added a title that I

think has very interesting words. I have also made a certain part of the text larger than the rest so that it has more of meaning and has more of an impact for the rest of the text. Also because the bottom bit on the right side was blank I decided to add some advertising thing at the bottom which promotes Shantelle’s new album release. I still think that it looks a bit too plain so I may decide to mage the box that the letters are in a brighter colour so that it stands out more.

Version 4 Here I have changed the colour of

the title and put some sort of block effect on it so that it stands out more and looks more of an R&B title. I also out a shadow effect of the text that is enlarged on the right side so that it has more of an effect that is effective. Have also made the W on the first paragraph bigger and bolder as it shows it is the start of a sentence.

Version 5 Here I decided to change the font

of the title as I didn’t think that the font was relating to R&B as much. I think that this font works better and the font hasn't been used yet within any of my pieces. I have also changed the size of part of the text (the question bit). I did this so the questions stood out more than the answers. I have also changed one of the photos to a scan photo as it relates to some of the text and I have added a quote underneath it so that the reader has more information about the image.

Version 6 Here I have changed a lot as I felt

that the previous version didn’t look like an R&B double page spread. I have changed the image to a more attitude type on stance. I have also changed the background to something with a stronger effect and the colours link in more with the masthead. I have also made the columns the same width size because when I looked at other double page spreads all of their columns had the same width length. I have changed one of the image down the side to a photo of Shantelle and her friend as I thought that the image before didn’t suit the genre. I decided to add another blown up quote to make the columns less plain and changed the outline colour to the same colour as the dress on the main image.

Version 7 Here I changed the background on

this version the one before was a little too dark which meant that you couldn’t really see the main image of Shantelle. I like this image as the effect is very eye catching and unusual and I edited the image a little to make it more bright to make it stand out more.

Version 8 Here I changed the background as

someone said that the previous background made the pages look like too much was happening so I changed it to a plain grey background but I feel that this makes the pages too dull so overall I think that the previous is better.

Final Version Here I changed the background as I got

given some feedback and because version 7’s background looked too busy and my background on my contents and front cover have a gradient effect I thought that I should do a similar effect on this one. I think this one is much better as the corners have a shadow that blend in the light grey in the middle. I think that it looks more successful than the previous one. I have also changed some of the text as I felt that the previous text didn’t suite R&B style music. I have changed the title, the first paragraph, the quotes, the captions and the advertisement. I feel that this text makes this double page spread look more like an R&B one because it links in with my type of audience. I also feel that it looks more like a professional and realistic which is why I am very happy with this outcome.
