Production of double page spread

To start my double page spread I had to make the layout accurate for the page as it had to have 3 columns and it had to be facing pages, therefore these changes had to be made as show above on the ‘New Projuct’. Which I used on QuarkXPress to produce my double page spread.

To produce this into a double page spread it would have to have two pages so I inserted two blank faces.

Which produces this.

For my double page spread I have used Harry Strachan as I had interviewed him however I though a black and white theme would stand out more when making other words stand out on the page therefore I had changed the colour of the picture of this image on Photoshop as it allowed me to change the colour contrast and brightness so I could adjust my picture to a good potential.

I inserted my image on QuarkXPress, to import an image on this software I had to insert it by creating a square box which then I pressed the right hand on my mouse which then gave me the options of importing an image (as shown above). This imported the image in the square box, I had to then scale the image which made it the accurate size after a few trials.

I produced the masthead of my double page spread on the same software QuarkXPress by using the text box. Therefore this allowed me to create different sections of each word I used for my masthead as I had created them individually so I was able to change the size of each text and colours to make some words stand out from others ( I used red as it anchors rock). The font I used for my masthead for my double page spread is ‘Tahoma’ as shown above, and the size 44pt as I thought it would be the most suitable and would apply the best.

I inserted the text by using the text box, to use the text box and make the columns equal I had firstly written the text on Microsoft therefore I could just import it.

Added on with text box.

Number page added with text box.

I inserted this as image to be exactly the same as the masthead of my magazine therefore I imported it and decreased the size of the picture by using the option of scaling it to the box shape.
