To continue developing my magazine I have created a double page spread. This will include an article that I have written myself and I have used InDesign to aid the design process.
What I like about my double page spread
- I like the images I have chosen to use and I think that the images on the left side of the page are simple yet effective – adding depth to the article.
- I also love the headline and how I have formatted it. I think that the typeface works well and is legible, in particular I like how a shadow effect is created with the yellow and blue of the models clothing and this makes the pages cohesive.
- I like how I have used a star on the stars’ name as I feel this adds a unique touch to the magazine.
What I can improve
- I think that I could wrap the text around my image to make the spread more coherent and less blocky.
- I can improve my pull quote and make it stand out more to draw the reader in. I can do this by adding a shadow and by formatting my text better.
- I think that I will remove the box for my stand first as I feel it is too blocky and doesn’t look good on the double page spread.
- I need to add my article into my magazine to check that it fits and works well.
- I could add more graphics onto the page to make it tie in better with my other pages – such as adding a line around my main image.
