For my double page spread i choose a large image to be on the left hand side of the page as it would attract the readers attention. The subject on the image is looking away from the camera which makes it a good image to use for the contents page as it could give the effect that the subject is looking towards the interview. This invites the audience to look at the article, the sub image looks directly to the audience which once the audience has been invited to read the article it makes them feel involved when they see the sub image.
The image that i had taken was taken as a close up shot because i thought that it would look more appealing on the double page because it is just a simple image and alot of text about the subject. The sub image was taken as a close up shot because it shows the emotion of the subject and also gives direct eye contact so that it makes the readers feel more involved with the article.
The text i have used on the page is Albertus Medium i chose to use this text for my writing because i think it gives of a profesional look and is a text that is easy readable by anyone. I chose to make the sub headings of each interview a different colour this was so the audience would know that the text in red was coming from a different person and the black writing was from the subject on the double page. The representations of the double page is a teenage girl and it shows the girl in a positive light trying to succeed in the music industry. The design of the double page is having one large image on one side and the text on the other which means that you could focus on the image on one side and then focus on the writing on the other rather than looking everywhere at the text.

The software i used to create this double page was microsoft word, i chose to use this software because i think that it gives a professional look and also has alot of tools that helps you create a realistic and creative looking double page. The tools that i used when designing my double page were the shape tools which let me create the arrow in the top right corner, i used this because i thought that it looked effective and like a real double page. I also used the text box tool which let me write all the text in the same size and align, it also let me chose the colour i wanted to have the text and if i wanted have some of the text bold which give it the finishing look.

I chose to have the colour of my text black and red because the house style and colour theme of my magazine were black and red. These colours are also very easy to read and see from a distance. Which makes it more apropraite and practical to chose these colours. The headline was created on the website dafont.com which lets you choose from hundreds of styles to suit your design. I chose this design because i thought that it would stand of the page and give a professional look to the double page.
