1. Vocal Success Magazine
Double Page Spread

2. Contact Sheet
I chose this photograph for the main photograph in my double page spread. The reason I
chose this photograph is because it shows a happier side which the front cover lacked. I
also think that the colours and quality were the best to use on a larger scale.

3. Questions and Answers
I researched Double Page Spreads and found results from magazines such as Q, NME and Kerrang. I already had my questions and answers
but I was looking for layout ideas. My questions and answers were detailed and were enough to keep the audience interested asking opinions
from my class mates on the questions and answers.

4. Editing
I used a number of effects whilst editing my chosen image. I made sure I stuck to the colour scheme that I used on my front
cover which was dark colours such as Red, White and Black. I changed the contrast of my image using layers and opacity to
create a soft look to the image. I then used a texture overlay to create a background for the image. I used tools to
change/boost the colours in the Image focusing on features such as eyes, lips and teeth.
I used the burn tool and set the mode to
overlay to boost the colours in the eyes.
I used the burn tool and set the mode to
overlay to boost the colours in the lips. I used
the Lasso tool to cur around teeth and then
reduced the saturation to whiten them.
I used a texture and set it to overlay and used the eraser tool to ensure the face wasn’t
effected by the overlay
I then experimented with simple
effects such as Hue/Saturation and
Brightness/Contrast.

5. Editing
I added a line behind the title to give it a more
professional look and stand out to the rest of the
magazine. When I first added the line it was too
distinct making it look as though the writing had
been crossed out. To fix this I reduced the opacity
of the title and placed it behind the text on a new
layer.
I made sure that all of my columns were the same width with as one another to give
my magazine a more professional look. I also made them completely symmetrical and
online to keep the magazine looking professional.

6. Title
The Majority of the magazines I researched had either the artist name or the name of the story. I experimented with
different titles and names but in the end decided to use the name of the story using the same font that I had used on the
front cover which helped to keep the double page spread similar to the front cover.
This is the design that I chose to use as the magazines Title. I used the original colour
scheme to relate to the magazines front cover. Using one red letter on each word enabled
me to keep to my original colour scheme.

7. I chose this image
because I liked the
composition. The
image also shoed a
happier side
compared to the
front When editing
the image I kept the
effects very similar
as to what I did with
the front cover to
make them work well
together.
I made the background plain and added a texture
overlay to keep an interest. The overlay also added a
red glow to the image which helped to blend the double
page spread with the front cover. My original colour
scheme for the front cover was black red and white so I
tried to keep the colour scheme similar with the double
page spread.
I looked for a font that
was similar to the font
used in official
magazines to give my
magazine a more
professional look.
For the questions I
made the font Bold
which I noticed a lot of
magazines did to
emphasise the
question. I also
changed the colour to
Red matching my
colour scheme.
The title is instantly
noticeable because of
its design. The font is
larger and has a red
letter at the start of
each word. I also
added a line behind
the text which helps
the title to stand out. I
looked at many
different fonts but
decided to use the
same font I did on the
front cover for the title.
The setting for my
questions and
answered were
inspired by magazines
such as Q however, I
changed the design to
fit the style of my own
magazine cover adding
faded grey lines to
separate the columns.
