This was my first attempt at making a double page spread, which was an idea that didn't turn out as well as i thought it would do. I scrapped this idea, due to the following reasons: It was too dark for an indie magazine, there were too many pictures which gave the appearance of separation between band members and Luke said it made Sam look like the leader of the group.
So i began to redraft my idea completely, rooting around in my photoshoot folder as i discovered the one i original i intended to use (the dark one with Sam on the right) was too dark. I had to use this photo, which i hadn't posted as a photo i was using and flip it so it was more aesthetically pleasing and suited for my layout. This version, like my other first drafts, has no colour and no effects and is at a basic level just so you can see the layout.
I added colour to this draft, using different shades of blue to highlight important text and white text for the normal writing text (When i do the real text, i will use columns)
This is my final draft for my double page spread. I added background shadows to the main bulk of text and drop shadows to the coloured text to make them stand out more, i also did the same bevel and emboss smoothed effect for the I Am Frank! heading to make it stand out more and added white outer glows to both that and THE INTERVIEW part.
Let me know what you think :)
