Double Page Spread

The image displayed above is the original image that was used in my double page spread. As you can see there is a wall in the background and some spots on the models forehead that he wanted to have removed from the image.

As you can see the second image is the one where I have applied effects on the picture. I deleted the wall that was in the background of the image using the ‘Magic Wand’ too and the areas that were harder to get to I used the ‘Lasso’ tool.

To get rid of the blemishes on the models face I used the ‘Clone Stamp Tool’ and the ‘Blur’ tool to try and blend out the spots and give the model a more airbrushed look as it is more professional.

Above is the final version of my double page spread, as you can see I have used the image to dominate the page. The image is aligned toward the left hand side and takes over around ¾ of the page. This is to put the emphasis on the model as I noticed many magazines within this genre tend to have large images with text limited.

As you can see from the expression on the models face he looks very happy and enthusiastic. The colour scheme used consists of orange, black and white; it is simple but playful and reflects well on the models personality.

The white text also stands out on the black backgrounds and I used colour orange very carefully in order to emphasise certain aspects of the magazine, such as there artist’s name.

I also added the name of the music magazine along with the page number on the bottom of each individual page.
