Creating my magazine double page spread


To start my double page spread I used an A4 landscape page, and used a line to seperate which page was it. A different font was used for the heading to the standard one seen in the contents and front cover, to make this article unique and stand out since it is the main article of the magazine being featured on the cover. A shade of yellow and cream is the background of the main body of text.
 
 
In the above screenshot I have done over half of the main text.
 
 
 
The text was then completed with a drop capital needed which was put in seperately.
 
 
The image to take up the left page was inserted along with a quote from the article as standard in most magazine interviews. The finished article can be seen in the following blog post.

Creating my magazine contents page


I started my magazine contents page by adding two boxes: one for the 'Contents' heading and one for the actual contents. I used the same font that I have used for the masthead on the front cover, as well as using it for the page numbers.

I then added contents to the page again using the same font.


I added the main picture as well as a box and number to show what page the article is on, before adding a picture and changing the colour of the boxes to a lighter one.
The finished product can be seen in the next post.
