Creation of my double page spread - First Draft part 2

In this post I am going to be uploading the next steps of my progress to making a double page spread for my RENEGADE music magazine.

So to start with I tested out various opacity effects on the auto-desk editor. I selected the colour blend 'pink dusk' and changed the level of intensity to my preference.
















I also used After-light to dull the colour of the backdrop and increase the sharpness of my talent so that she stands out the most in the photo.

When I added my text I used a plain white sheet and used a hot pink colour for the font in the text 'OVERLOCK'. I used conventions of VIBE magazine articles as many of them used a massively larger capital letter at the start of each paragraph or text. 

 Next, I added the rest of the language for my talents double page spread feature. I remained using the same pink colour throughout to go with my house-style. 

Here is my first draft of my double page spread article:

Then using Piclay I created a collage combining all of my photos together. For my final draft of my double page spread I will be using all black and white font colour. I was inspired by VIBE magazine to add a splash of colour into my photos and text, however I now feel as though this may have been a mistake because it is difficult to match the same pink throughout. I will also use a different collage application because this one that I used makes it difficult to read my text and therefore the article itself is not easy to understand. Having said this I have learnt a lot from making this and what I learn will only aid me in creating my final more 'successful' double page spread music magazine article for RENEGADE.
