Making my double page spread...

                                I uploaded the picture onto Photoshop first so that I could add text.

I started to experiment with the colours to see which colour I wanted for the title of my double page spread. I decided to go for a plum colour as I thought it matched with the models lipcolour and headband. I went for a formal elegant font for the titile.

I changed the font for the bottom subheading into italics and made it a deep blue colour instead of just black which would most likely blend in with the piano.

Here I have transfered the double page spread image onto Microsoft Publisher. I did this as I thought it would be an easier way to write the article by using coloumes too. I used the image as one half of my double page spread and three little images on the other half showing my model play the piano. I thought that this would be a good idea becasue the smaller images are unique and will look like 'snapshots' similar to how I designed my first drafts.

                                                                                Here I have started to create the fact box for my double page spread. I used the 'text box' tool to create a rectangular box in the corner in which I was going to put about 5 facts. I also made the colour of the fact box a gradient colour between black and a purply/plum colour so it went with the theme and added a bit of colour. I chose the writing to be white as it would stand out on the dark background. Afew finishing touches I included are the page numbers and  the person who wrote the article, in this case the editor of Perfect Harmony magazine. I choose the Editor to be the writer as I thought that a proffessional and well known person like the editor writing the article would make the reader think that the article is very important and interseting.
