Stages in Production of my Double Spread

The first thing I did was create my document. I used a black background and added 6 columns so I could judge placement andsizes. Next I added the three pictures that I wanted to use in my indesign double page spread. I had already desaturated all three of the photos used, in Photoshop, then I simply added all of the the photos onto a blankbackground merged them together and saved it as it was to give me a filmstrip effect. The grab is below.


Following this, I had to come up with the title of my double spread. Therefore I thought I would use a similar font style to that on my front cover however, change it slightly. Therefor I went back onto dafont and selected a font which I believe compliments the page as a whole very nicely. However, I felt it was not enough, so I added a subtitle of the artists' name - "Sophie Rivers" and again changed the font to something less modern and more authentic. Again I felt this complimented the page and added a nice contrast.

Everything was starting to come together, so I began to add my text and soon found that I was warming to my double page spread.
I used the house style here again by putting the titles in the hot pink and the quotes underneath in white, again as a unisex colour scheme. I also found this font which I used for my text was one that suited the page and the interview. It was called "Moms Typewriter" and again I obtained such a font from dafont.

Finally I added page numbers on each sides of the double page spread.

Overall, I am pleased with my double page spread, and the whole of my work for that matter. I did not think I was this capable of producing work like this. Therefore, I am thrilled with my outcomes!
