DEVELOPMENT OF MY DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

For my double page spread I decided a good start would be to select the right background colour. My survey said that they would like too see a black background on every page, however I felt that the main articles in my magazine should be a different colour to make them stand out. I chose a medium grey with a very slight lilac undertone as it linked to my colour scheme selected. I did originally try it with a black background, however I didn't feel that it added much to my magazine and felt it made it a slightly bland and dull in comparison to a medium grey shade.
Next I added my magazines logo of "PG" in gold foil effect with a dark red background and slightly black outline. I chose for my magazine logo to be in gold foil because I felt that it was significant to my masthead. I did this by using the magic eraser tool again to individually cut out each letter. By continuing this logo throughout my magazine it helps to create a house style.
After I then added small page numbers in black (sticking to my colour scheme) to both corners of the page. Afterwards I added the date of the magazine and on the opposite page I added the web address for my magazine so that if they found what the article was about interesting they could look at more articles like this on the website and also more information about the artists featured.
