Double Page Spread

Firstly, I opened my canvas on Photoshop

and pasted a grey texture onto it.

I added another texture on

the top of the first one,

this added the specks of

light to the background. I

didn’t want this texture to

be to bold so I changed

the opacity to 50%.

Using the shape tool I added white

boxes where I wanted the text to be. I

did this so that the text would stand out

more against the background. By

lowering the opacity on the shapes it

meant they weren’t too bold and didn’t

distract the eye from the background.

Using dafont.com I chose the fonts that I

liked for the text on the double page

spread. I print screened it, pasted it into

Photoshop and, using the magic wand

tool, coloured it the appropriate colours

for my magazine. Once I had done this I

used the text tool on Photoshop to add

text underneath stating who the article

and photography were by.

Using the shape tool I added a dark grey

rectangle to the page. On top of this I

pasted the same image with a white

background.

Next I added my main image. I placed it

onto of the grey box and other images

because I wanted it to stand out from them.

For the text section of my double page spread I used the same textures for the

background. Using Photoshop’s text tool I added a pull quote from the interview at the

top of the page. I coloured it red because this stands out well against the background.

Finally, using the text tool I added my interview. I chose to colour it white because it fits

in with the house style of the magazine and is an easy colour to read.
