Production Of My Magazine Double Page Spread

Step 1 – Getting The Main Image

For the article I decided to focus it on ‘The Gladstones’ a new band in my Sixth Form

I went to one their gigs to conduct a photo shoot

Deciding On The Main Image

I decided on this main image as it shows every member of the band in action

Arranging the interview

I managed to arrange to get in interview with Jake of a lunch time

I managed to arrange the interview via the via the social networking site Twitter

Capturing the interview

•I captured the interview with Jake by using a sound recorder so that I would be able to listen and type up the interview once I had gone home.

Importing the text

I types up the article as one large text file leaving and saving it as a ‘RTF’ Rich Text File so that is could be imported into Quark easily.

Linking Text Boxes

The arrows on the images to the left show the flow of the article across the pages

Adding the Title + Byline

I linked the band title ‘The Gladstones’ and the word bagged because the word gladstone is an American bag making company

I used red text for the title because it worked along side the colour scheme of my magazine

Adding a Background

I then added a black background behind the Title to enhance the red colour of the title

I also use the black background because it may the by-line a lot easier to read
