Enlighten Magazine
Double-Page Spread Process.

2. Sizing Background Colour
First of all, I changed the size of the page to the dimensions of an A3 page.
Next, I changed the background colour to a light blue-shade, which I had previously used on my contents page, but I adjusted the shade so that it was lighter for these pages.

3. Scroll and Smaller Writing
I then added the image of Joely, making sure that the image was a perfect A4 size.
I then added a brown rectangle on the top right hand side. I edited this so that the rectangle was hidden behind the guitar, but not behind the whole image.
In that rectangle, I included the text “Enlighten Exclusive”, in two bold colours; yellow and blue.
I added a brown scroll to the bottom of the page, also in the brown colour.
Then, I wrote the page numbers into this scroll, also using the bright yellow colour.
This helps me add colour cohesion to the page(s).

4. Quote and Introduction
Next, I added a big, bold, green quote at the top of the page. This quote has gaps in it, to allow for a slight area of the page that will be covered when put together as a whole magazine.
Underneath this, I included a brief introduction to let you know what the article is about.
Then, I added three cream- coloured columns, all the same size; I will use this for my article itself.
I found there was a gap between the introduction and the columns, so I added in a short sentences to bring the reader into the article.

5. Article Text
Then, I added the main body of text to my page. This was in two shades; a green and a brown that have been used on this page and in the contents page/ front cover article before.
I spaced the text out and had to get the right size, typeface, spacing, etc. to make sure that it fitted perfectly into the columns on my page.

6. Finishing Touches
Lastly, I added some finishing touches to the scroll, as I found the bottom half of my page looked a little bare.
I added the album cover which I previously made to the bottom, placing it on an angle.
Next to this, I added some text, explaining that you get 3 free copies of songs from this album.
Finally, I added the magazine website to the bottom of the left-hand page, reminding the reader than they can access content online too.
