First draft for my double page spread

I have created the first draft of my double page spread with reference to my mock up, photo-shoot plan and the rough plan I created. However, as the size of my double page spread will be A3, I needed to add more text to my article, in order for it to be suitable for the target audience. I have also changed the positioning of the by-line, by rotating it so it went across the side of the image, rather at the bottom. Finally, there was space after I added more to my article, therefore I decided to add an anchor. I copied and pasted the name of my magazine from the front cover and pasted in beneath the article.

Rough plan for my DPS

I have attached a rough plan of my double page spread which I created in Powerpoint. I have included the article and different conventions which I have abided or challenged. By producing this plan, this gave me a clearer idea for what photograph would be appropiate for my double page spread- whether it is landscape/portrait, closeup or median shot etc.

Detailed mock up for DPS

This is a detailed version of my mock up where I have written in detail my planning for my double page spread. This is essential as it is time-efficient and I know what to expect the outcome to look like. At this stage, I can add new ideas, so it is useful for me to produce a detailed mock up, in case I want to add more elements or design.

Basic mock up DPS

I have created a basic mock up for my double page spread, therefore I will ahve a rough indication about what I will include and the positioning of these elements.

Photoshoot for double page spread

After producing a rough plan for my double page spread, I was able to think of different ideas for my photography. I found this the hardest task as it is essential to keep the audience engaged and my target audience value images. I have come up with a photo-shoot plan which I will undertake.

Vibe double page spread analysis

I have created my second double page presentation based upon Vibe. This will give me more ideas about conventions for when I create my double page spread.

NME double page spread with notes attached

This is a handout which includes the notes, along with the matching slides which I used during my presentation.

NME double page spread presentation

I have created a powerpoint on a double page spread from NME. I have analysed this DPS in great detail as this will assist me when I create my own double page spread. I will use this existing DPS to inspire and help me produce my own.
