First of all I started with my main image.
![Page 2: Step by step Double Page Spread](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a75b951a28ab6c458b4862/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Next, I chose four sub-images to use as background images
for my main image; I then made the images black and
white by using adding a Black and White adjustment layer.

I then added one of these to my main image and
decreased the opacity of the layer from 100% to 60%.

Following this, I then did the same with another image
and placed it on the opposite side to the first.

I then created a layer mask over each image to allow
me to remove specific parts of the images that I did not
want/ were not necessary.

Next, I altered the colour of Elisha’s clothes slightly using
the burnt tool to make her appear darker generally; this
allows her to stand out from the lighter background/
sub-images.

I then created a layer mask over the entire image to
allow me to fade out the top of the image; this was
necessary as the title on the double page spread looks
more effective / stands out more if it is on a plain
background.

I then placed my final image onto my double page spread;
the image takes up one entire page as this is a convention of
music magazines.
![Page 9: Step by step Double Page Spread](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a75b951a28ab6c458b4862/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Next I added the title which is in red, white and black to fit
with the colour scheme of the overall magazine, the font is
also the same one that is used on the Front Cover and
Contents Page.

I then placed the letter ‘E’ (for Elisha) as a background for the
article. This idea was inspired by Q.
![Page 11: Step by step Double Page Spread](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a75b951a28ab6c458b4862/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
I then begin to add the Q&A in columns as this is a
convention of music magazines.
![Page 12: Step by step Double Page Spread](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a75b951a28ab6c458b4862/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
I then added page numbers as this is a vital convention of
magazines; if they were not included the Contents Page
would be relatively pointless.
![Page 13: Step by step Double Page Spread](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a75b951a28ab6c458b4862/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
I then added a stand first; I
tried this in a variety of boxes
to allow if to stand out most
effectively although it was
later moved onto the
opposite side of the page.
![Page 14: Step by step Double Page Spread](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a75b951a28ab6c458b4862/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
I then added a pull quote, this is done to draw the reader’s
attention to the page/ article. I also changed the page
numbers to appear more professional.
![Page 15: Step by step Double Page Spread](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a75b951a28ab6c458b4862/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
I then added a second pull quote at the top of the page; I
did this as it breaks the page up, meaning it looks less like a
page full of text and more like a magazine page.
![Page 16: Step by step Double Page Spread](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a75b951a28ab6c458b4862/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
I then added a by-line and a ‘Photography by’ - this makes
the double page spread look more realistic.

I then changed the word “NOT” from black to red – this draws
more attention to the pull quote. I also changed the font to
make it more suitable and effective.
