Double Page Spread Example

Above is the first screen shot of the example for the double page spread of my music magazine. The first thing I did was alter the margins so that the bottom and outside margins were larger than the top and inside ones. I then added three columns on each page to fit my writing. After, I placed an image which took up the entire left page; this layout had been incorporated in other music magazines and so I used it. Once my image was placed I created an appropriate headline on the top of the right page which took up around a third of it; I made sure my title and font was related to my image in someway. After adding text under my title, page numbers in the corners and text boxes in the columns, I added "Placeholder Text" from the "Type" menu so I could see how the text would be arranged.

I then placed a second image into an ellipse frame tool and placed it within my text.  Using the "Text Wrap" from the "Window" menu, I arranged the text so that it wrapped around the shape of my image. I did this to make the layout and presentation more attractive.

Looking at my finished page I am happy with the turnout. When I start my actual spread, I will try and use tools such as the "Eyedropper Tool" to keep a consistency in the colour scheme.
