The document discusses the design choices for a double page magazine spread. The main title was designed to match the common theme and color scheme used throughout the magazine. The main image was lightened and had its saturation increased to improve quality. Additional elements like concert dates, exclusive stamps, and page numbers were included to make the spread feel more like a authentic magazine article. The text followed conventions and questions were a separate blue color to maintain the color scheme. Overall, the creator felt the full double page spread looked professional and attention-grabbing.
2. MAIN TITLE
The main title was similar to the
other main titles on my contents and
front cover, as I felt that it was
important to stick to a common
theme throughout the magazine
because I have seen this in
magazines in general and how they
stick to a colour scheme.
I developed the main title by
adding a different layers and
effects such as the drop shadow. To
help with how the professional the
magazine looked, with the use of
the sub title I feel it added a sense
of companionship between the
readers and the writer of the
article.
3. IMAGE
With the main image for the
double page spread (DPS) I
felt the original image was too
dark thus I used to Hue and
Saturation tool to increase the
levels of each to improve the
photograph. I also tried to hue
the image with different
colours, though I feel the best
was with out the hue and just
increase levels of Lightness and
Saturation.
4. ADD ON
These three where added on too
show different ways to make the
magazine look like a magazine. The
first was concert dates for that
band so publicity for the band, next
there was the ‘Amp Approves’
exclusive stamp. This made it look
like a magazine as normally has
these exclusive stamps and pictures
that tell you it is an exclusive article.
Finally the page number shows it is
a magazine, so the page number is
the same as on the contents as it is
on the page in the article.
5. TEXT
The text was simple and
followed conventions.
The questions where in a
separate colour still blue to
stick to the colour scheme.
6. FULL PAGE
The over all full page I
thought it was really
appealing and attention-
grabbing. As the image is
excellent and I honestly think
the whole page looks
professional and realistic.
