Draft Double Page Spread

This is my first draft at my double page spread. I used images from the internet of the band Bring Me The Horizon as an example, this image is appropriate as they have the same physique as my double page model.

I chose the images from google images, as this is just a draft i didn't need to worry about copyright, but if I had my photographs of my model available I would have used this. Initially i planned to place the 2 smaller images at the bottom of the main image. After placing the images there, I noticed that it significantly cut off the bottom part of my image. I then reduced the size of the image so that the smaller images were not covering this, but this made the main image distorted and square shaped. So i decided on moving the two smaller images onto the text page and encorporating those within the text. In my final double page spread i have decided to place the image around the text so the text will follow the contour of the image.

To create the heading i used a Viner Hand ITC font, this creates the illusion of age and neutrality. I then coloured this a deep red to contrast with the black background of the image, to create a sense of unity I moved the text over the image so when the reader looks at this they will see the page as a whole not two seperate pages. To create the text I made two seperate text boxes, i then deleted half of the text in one box and carried the remaining text into the next box. I think there is a way of linking the two boxes so the text flows into the second one similar to Microsoft Publisher, but i need to find out how to use this.

I decide to use a plain white background to see how the text and main image will contrast with this. Once all my images and text were in place i noticed that the page lacked depth, so i decided to gradient the back ground to give it a red tint from the top corner. This works well with the black style images as it resembles anger and frustration.
