Music Magazine - Rough Draft of Double Page Spread



This is my rough draft of an inside double page spread that i created in InDesign.
Firstly, we changed the layout of the page by adding 2 new pages - to enable a double page - and then we altered the columns and borders to fit the specification.
For this particular page; i changed it to have 3 columns with margins of 8mm at the top, 14mm at the bottom, 8mm in the inside and 14mm at the outside - this meant that i could create a double page spread that was fitting to the general specification of magazine pages.
After this; we added a photo box over the whole of the left hand side - and using the 'Place' tool, adding in a relevant image. This image was far to big for the frame, so i used the Fitting tool to Fit the image Proportionally to the frame.
I chose to relate the image to the heading - i feel that the space in the image between the two "band members" represents the missing band member.
After adding a text box, i wrote a simple heading and then played around with the fonts - trying to find an eyecatching and bold headline.
I was very keen to use the szlichta07 font, but in the end i decided to use the Zapfino font and edit the word 'four' into the colour red.
