The final bit for my music magazine was my double page spread. The first thing I done was my flat plan so I had a rough idea on how I wanted my double page spread to look like.
I'm also very happy with how this piece of work turned out this time I decided to have a few more images on my double page spread but I think it looks good because there isn't to many pictures I think I got the balance right between the amount of font and the amount of pictures so I feel I get the combination right.
I decided to use white on black background because it stands out well and its the kind of colours that they would use in a rock magazine and I feel it stands out well and the readers will be able to clearly read about the interview I have done.
I think the hardest thing about my double page spread is trying to get the writing in the right place to make it look like a proper music magazine and deciding were too put the images because I wanted the story to flow so I decided to have the pictures in the top and bottom corners and opposite way round on the other side of the page so it looks neat and tidy. I have also decide on the other page to tilt the images slightly so it adds more of an effect when the reader reads the article. Finally I decided to add a background image on each page so that the double page spread doesn't look to boring instead there is a lot of colour so it stands out more.
Overall I am very happy with the work I had to produced and I have learnt a lot more skills with using photoshop which I am very happy about because now I feel I can create better pieces of work and I can get work done a lot quicker and at a better quality.
Dan, I think you have made a valid point about getting the text in the correct place - are you sure it is now? In addition, I think you should look again at the font you have used for your heading and think about whether or not it really follows the conventions of a music magazine from the rock genre.
ReplyDeleteThe images are strong and it is looking more and more like the read thing but I am not convinced about the mode of address. I'm also rather dismayed at the standard of your writing. It is awkward (the first thing I done) and the actual double page spread is also clumsily written. you need to get to grips with punctuation. These lapses make your piece less professional.
