I have now edited my first attempt at a double page spread. I have resized the image and moved a portion of it off the page. I have also made the image mid shot which means it is a more zoomed in image of the artist which means it is clearer to make out who he is. This is important as it is the first main look at the artist because on the front cover he has his backto the audience meaning this is the first opportunity to have a look at him.
The quote that I have originally had has been cut down to make it shorter so it is easier to read. It is quite important around the sense of the article on the other double page spread.
In the bottom corner is a small caption which just enforces the fact this is Arron's new career attempt.
I am happy with this effort now so I will improve it once more then go onto the other double page spread.

I'd make the caption in the corner even smaller and put it in a 'box', to keep in line with magazine codes and conventions.
ReplyDeleteYou'll also need to allow space for a page number, maybe make the border a little thicker?
The picture and colours are good, font stands out well - maybe move the quote down a little bit so it's more at his eyeline? Obviously just personal preference.
Just noticed, that quote needs to end in either an exclamation mark or a full stop. :P
ReplyDeleteYeah I realised that after I blogged it but I've tried changing it at home but I don't have the font and it costs £10 to buy it :@
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the comments helped be big time, I'm thinking of having the page number in the bottom left corner within a white border?
Excellent communication here Jamie and Sarah. It's nice to see you both sharing ideas.
ReplyDeleteJamie, What does the facial expression of your subject say about the double page spread? Does it reflect the artist's attitude, his style etc? Does it relate to the content in the double page spread article?
Be more specific with your choice of codes used to create meaning.
Great work so far on construction.
