1. This is the first print screen of my Double page spread I have used this picture
because it very exiting as it is of a gig, also it seems very exiting and fun.
Because of the green colours shown in the picture I have decided it best to use
the colour green for my main title also my stand first introduces the band an
gives a brief explanation of who they are and what the article is about.
2. Here I have used the colour black in my
background to allow the picture and
writing to stand out a little more. Also I
think it is a good Idea to keep with the
darker colours as it makes it seem more
Angry and aggressive emphasising that
rock attitude.
I feel a little happier using Quark as have used it to do my contents page, so I feel I
know how to used it well now, I find it really helpful as it has guides so I know
where everything needs to be.
3. Here I have used the colour red for the article a these colours are associated
with energy, power, and passion which is what the band have in the music. So I
have been choosing my colours carefully to show some that I have a clear
understanding on how to design a DPS and knowing how to link colours with
the words.
4. Here in this print screen all I have don’t is change the colour to make it a little
brighter I have changed it to yellow as it was a most chosen colour in my
questionnaire but also yellow is very effective for attracting attention, it also
symbolises loyalty. And many artists are loyal to there music.
5. Here I have added some more images to make the article more appealing as in
many of the article I have looked at in Kerrang! and NME have used more than
one image. I have also put some of the bands details at the bottom in red to
make is seem more realistic.
6. I was given some feed back about m DPS and I realised that I was using too
many colours so I decided to stick to the colours yellow, red and white to make
it more appealing and inking it with the colours I have been using in my front
cover and contents. Also four colours was a little too much, in most magazines
there are around two/three colours used very really four colours are used.
7. This is the final shot of my double page spread, which I have ha to chad my image
for only because any images I had of the band were blurry and didn’t look very
good when they were printed so I had to be creative wit my head and create
something that was going to fit in with my article so I have used some cards that
the band had given me and I took some shots of them in different positions to
see If I could make a good picture out of them.
