This document outlines the development process of a double page magazine spread across four drafts. The first draft was created in Photoshop and included variation in image types, fonts, and capitalization. The second draft was made in InDesign and featured one main image, added social media information, and a two column layout. The third draft changed the font style. The final spread kept the color image, added a film strip for behind the scenes photos, removed the pull quote, used text wrap and a three column layout.
3. First Draft
This was just a rough draft of how I visualised my
double page to look. It was done using Photoshop so it
obviously wasn’t as professional looking as it is now as
I used the programme iN-Design to create my final
double page. However, I still followed some basic
conventions like the variation in image types, font sizes
and capitalisation/varied font of the first letter of the first
sentence.

5. Second Draft
This is the second draft of my double page
spread and I created this using in-design.
Obviously I changed a lot and the most evident
was the fact I decided to only use one image. I
also added an extra information box at the
bottom stating the artists social media. Another
feature was that I used two columns instead of
one but I didn’t do this very well as I was unsure
how to do so using In-Design as everything was
so new to me.

7. Third Draft
The third draft of my double page spread for Encounter magazine. For
this, I mainly changed font style.

9. Final Double Page Spread
This is the final double page spread that I have
created for Encounter magazine. A lot has
changed in my double page since the first draft. I
decided to keep the image colour and added a
“film strip feature” to allow the audience to gain a
backstage access to the photo shoot whilst
providing the magazine with extra images. I took
out the pull quote and learnt how to use the text
wrap feature and also the three column feature.
