Double Page Spread - Draft 3

Here is my third draft of my double page spread for my music magazine called RENEGADE

To create this DPS I used different types of software. The first one I used was 'Pixlr autodesk' to do the basic editing and to invert the images. This was the most basic step within the editing process as I used my iPhone for the majority of the time. Once this step was over, I inserted the images to PICLAY another application on my phone, which I used to add all of the surrounding text and the title on the top left corner of my talent standing alone. This was fun, but slightly challenging because since my phone is touch screen, placing the words in the exact correct place was extremely difficult and time consuming. Nonetheless I managed to over come the minor obstacle and was able edit the images further. After I added the black and white filter using the 'Afterlight' editing programme, I inserted the bottom photo of my talent into Piclay to create a mirror effect. As you can probably tell I did this twice with the same image as I wanted the impact of the 'double' illusion to be significant - also, I noticed that many other Hip-Hop/R&B music magazine double page spreads only used basic effects like this - for example the mirror effect would only have been carried out once. Therefore I decided to edit my photos differently and have challenged this convention of existing music magazines. After this step I collated all of the photos together using a collage programme that I bought on my PICLAY application for £4,50. Lastly, I added the hot pink boarder around the photo using 'Piclay' again. I feel that this really added depth to my photo and was designed to catch the attention of my TA specifically.
