This shows how you place an image, by clicking on file and then place and then

searching for the image you want to place.

The first thing I did was place an image into the document. This image would serve as the

background for the double page spread. I chose this image because it is relevant to the topic I am

planning to talk about and is a reference to one of the quotes in the interview (which is the topic of

the main piece) and is also quite dark and mysterious which I feel are traits that the band portray.

In this print screen I inserted some images into the double page spread. I tried to place them so it

would look like they are actually playing in the garden and I therefore had to take their posture and

poses into account when taking the shots.

I used the same effects that I usually do with these images, putting a drop shadow on the image to

give it some depth and realism and placing a slight colour overlay over the image as a reference to

the band name “Origin of Sin”.

In this print screen you can see I used the rectangle tool and placed two rectangles, this is where I

plan for all of the text to go on the double page spread. I edited the opacity of the boxes so you can

see some of the background as well. This helps make the page more aesthetically pleasing.

In this print screen I have placed the page numbers, issue date and magazine logo in the bottom left

and right. I tried to find a colour that matched with the rest of the theme of this page but the page

number on the bottom right gets slightly lost unless you look up close. Having page numbers,

company logos etc. on the pages were a convention I found and wanted to follow.

Next I inserted the headline. I created this headline using the same logo generator as “BAM!”. I

chose colours that would continue the theme of the greens, browns and blacks and wanted a font

that was quite edgy and representative of the bands image. Therefore I felt this font was

appropriate. I also decided to make some words bigger than others just to emphasise that edgy feel.

I placed it in the top left so it would have enough space to become prominent without taking away

the importance of the body text.

This print screen shows that I have added a substantial amount of text to the document, although I

don’t feel like I have given myself enough space. I will place another text box into the document so I

can extend me interview (located on the left side of the double page spread). On the right side of the

double page spread is an album review. The two pieces go hand-in-hand as in the interview the band

talks about their new album.

This print screen shows that I have added more text in as well as another text box. I tried to place

the text box so it would still be on the same page but not obstructing any of the musicians. I also

selected white font because it contrasts nicely with the green and is easy to read.

This print screen shows I have given the album review section a heading so that people know what it

is, along with the band’s name, the name of the album and an image of the album. I used the text

tool and the rectangle tool as well as the place tool to produce all of these things.

This shows my double page spread with the lead singer in the image, along with an end blob that is

the B from BAM! (my magazine title).

This is the same magazine with a drop quote. The quote helps to lure people in as if they are

interested in the quote they will read the full article. Due to this I was careful with what I pulled out

from the text.

This is essentially my finished double page spread. I have fixed the headline to make sure it is

grammatically correct, added more text to the right article to make the lines symmetrical, and

adjusted the lighting on the images so that you can envisage a clear light source.
