Double Page Spread Mock Up One (using my own images)

From my research i had liked the double page spreads which used an entire images as the background and base of the spread.As you can see i then utilised the fact that the band was quiet high on the image this enabled me to get the most important aspect of the aim of the double page spread on and then gave me a lot of space bellow which i was able to use for text.
The next steps where to :-

1. I added the page indicator at the top which is very stereotypical but very useful and is a quick indicator of the what the article or pages aim is.



2. I then added the text in different shaped boxes to not totally hinder the entire image and create a dive.But also to keep in with the indie theme and genre.



3. I then added the cork board as another basis which is unusual and unconventional as a competition based idea which is typical of a magazine to attract the reader more so.



4. I then created a box like affect around coloured labels which are quotes which again fits with the indie theme this was also added by the large speech marks.

Bellow is three stages of the making of the product :-

Feedback summary of peers (Viki Dempsey , Laura Chadock,Rachael Squires)

1. The image was very cleverly used as a background because the text did not hinder anything vital in the image eg.grass.
2. The text boxes aren't conventional and we like this because it doesn't make the whole of the bottom of the page white and the colours used helps this and keeps with the genre of the theme and target audience.
3. The labels are cleverly used as quotes and i like the consistency of the fonts used.

We would improve:-

1. The size of the text needs to be larger on the main body.
2. The brightness of the image.
