Construction of Double Page Spread

I started the production of my double page spread by adding the image of the star model. I used the guide tool to find the exact centre of the page and then began using the magic wand tool to erase anything past the line that was not part of the star model in order to give me the effect shown above.

I then added the black bar at the top stating exactly what the article below was going to be about, I had used the black bar in both the contents page and cover page so thought it was necessary to keep to the same style and continue the convention.

I then added a quote from the interview in a large red font, closely spaced together, this immediately draws attention to the page itself and was a common convention found in magazines such as Kerrang and Q. It also gives the reader an insight as to something the star model has said and may tempt them to read the full article.

I then added the article itself, using the guide tool to find the centre of the right page I decided to pick a design that clearly shows what the interviewer is saying and what the star model is saying, this type of design would of not been effective if I were writing a different type of article such as a review. I also added the black bar at the bottom as the page lacked depth, adding the black bar made the page look more interesting and also helped me to add more colour into the page itself.
