Final Double Page Spread

When creating my double page spread, I used one of my initial images and adjusted it to brighten her face and make her look vibrant yet sophisticated. I also used another image and altered the background and made it look like she was at the Brits. This made the page look more like it was made for an actual magazine which is essential as I have to make my attempt look professional and real. I made sure I used the same type throughout all of my pages (Adobe Heiti Std) to make sure that there was continuity. Also, when i created the columns of my article/interview, I used Microsoft Publisher to do it, everything else was made on Photoshop. 

Draft 2 Contents Page

When creating my Contents Page I wanted to make sure I used more than 1 image. Therefore, I took more images of people and used them to make my magazine look like it's about lot's of people. One way I included the contents of what is in the magazine was by using photographs of people and putting a page number next to them with a brief explanation of what that page includes. Also, by including a paragraph from the 'editor' makes it look more professional and successful. By including a splash on the largest image with slanted text makes it look risky and 'cool'.
