double page spread




This is my final double page spread, I decided to go for the black and white look I did this because it is different and not many double page spreads are featured in just black and white. The black and white compliments the image and makes it appear more proffessional.
The sub-heading is 'Miss DuBoi' the name of my female artist, I did this so that it introduces the artist to the audience, I used a handwriting type font which I collected of the site dafont.com I did this so that it appeared that my female artist had signed her autograph on the page.
Underneath the sub-heading is a few lines which is basically explaining what to expect in the article, also when researching I noticed that many double page spreads do this therefore I took this into account. The article itself is an interview at first I was just going to write information about the singer however I liked the idea of interviewing my female artist I think it would almost be like introducing her to the audience which i liked. For the image I again featured her with headphones for the same reason as it shows it is about music, I made her pose with her hand on her hip so that it looked like she had attitude and confidence which could perhaps represent her music and style. I also wanted her looking down as this is unique and different which I wanted, I also wanted the image to be long so that it filled up the left page. I lightened the image using picasa which is used to edit photographs, I lightened it so that it blended in with white background featured on the right page.
At the beginning of the article I used a dropcap as this again looked professional and these are often featured in magazine articles and newspapers.
