Double Page Spread Production

Before creating my music magazine double page spread I was asked to draw a rough sketch of what I want it to look like so when I am producing it I know where I want everything to be.




I was asked to create a double page spread for my music magazine in quark.

Because the image did not fit with the article and looked out of place I then made the image bigger and made it bleed across the page so it looked connected. I also re sized the article quote and made it bigger so it stood out more.

I deleted some pictures and kept only one but making it bigger so the article had a more professional layout.

I then moved certain sentences around to make it look more like a professional magazine 

After getting my worked look at by the teachers I was told to change some things such as the images. They were taken out and one bigger one put back in as they didn`t work the way I had them previously.

The images I had taken were then added onto the pages and I had to make sure none of the writing from the
article didn`t run over the image.

                                         I then created the aticle and imported it onto the page.

At first I started with a blank page with the guides in to help.

Photographs For Double Page Spread

I was asked to conduct an interview with either a band or artist for my Double Page Spread and also have it fit the genre of my music magazine which is Indie/Rock.

                               I chose the first four photo`s to use for my Contents Page.

                                   Here are some of the photo`s I took but eventually didn`t use.

Contents Page Production

I had to create a contents page for a music magazine by using Quark express to create it. I was asked to stick to the codes and conventions of a music magazine.  But before I could create anything on Quark I was asked to draw a rough sketch of the contents page I wanted to make.

I was asked to create a contents page for my music magazine in Quark.

For the page numbers I created another graphic feature in the shape of a red circle with the number in the middle so it stands out.

Having added the front cover image I then added writing around it to show the reader what pages everything is on.

After getting the teacher to look at my contents page,it was decided that I get rid of the editors letter completely and have the magazine cover in the middle with it annotated about the cover lines.

I imported three images onto the page and titled some of them to make it seem more Indie/Rock. I also Added white boarders around the images to make them stand out.

I then imported a picture I had taken and imported it onto the page

 I then wrote the editors letter in word and imported it onto the page along with a photo of the front cover.

I imported the writing from word and added extra words bigger and bolder to stand out.

I added the boxes that will be graphic features.

At first I started with just a blank page.
