SCREAN GRAPS- DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

I made the theme black and yellow due to my questionnaire, and these two being the next popular answers. Also I feel these to colours work well together to give the feel of dance due to the brightness of the yellow and the obvious contrast.

My image of Mike.

This was a sound wave a found, I deleted the background using the magic wand tool to just get the pattern to merge with the image.

The sound wave and mikes image- I merged these together to create a feel of dance music through the image. I changed the opacity to make both layers look like one.

I edited feather, changing to contrast and levels on Photoshop to match the black background of the double page spread and I feel this effect connects to the overall look.

My image onto quark, as well has is promotional poster for his upcoming gig. I but the edited image onto one page to stick with the conventions of dance magazines I have looked at, it also draws to peoples attention that this is a main article.

Before adding my article, I tried to find a suitable way to display my images and text. This is one example I had in mind to begin with but I didn’t feel it worked too tell.

Another attempt on trying to get the best layout.

After a few prints out, this is the layout that connects to conventions the best, displays the article clearly and successfully draws the attention in with the large image and large text.

To connect the two pages together, and to imply more colour, I added this background strap across the text. The colour and the angled straight lines brighten the page up, as well as adding different dimensions to make the page’s look more packed with information.
