I firstly added an image I had previously taken and then the text from a Microsoft word document. When I took this picture I knew it would be good for my double page spread because it makes the artist seem mysterious. I made this image black and white on Photoshop and how I did that can be seen below. Some of the text was very difficult to read so I had to consider that. One of the codes and conventions of double page spreads is page numbers which allow the reader to easily find a desired page.

This was the original image but it looks much better in black and white and made the image much more interesting.

I turned the image black and white and it instantly looked more intriguing. This was fairly easy to do once I figured out how and then I just saved this image and placed it on my Indesign file.

Here is my double page spread with the black and white image of my model. The wall behind him is less obvious but still noticeable so the reader can enjoy looking at this interesting picture. My model also uses direct address to make it feel personal to the audience and to increase the impact the image has. I previously mentioned my text was not very easy to read so I changed the questions to red and blue. These colours worked really nicely together and it links in well with my contents page and front cover because these colours were the main colours on both of these pages.

I added a heading which is "rising to the top" which links in with the first paragraph which says "quickly climbing up the pop music ladder." I put a lot of detail into my article and focused on the artist. I also added a drop cap to show the reader where the main article begins and to save them the time of trying to find the beginning.

To introduce the article I added a subheading. This subheading gives the audience a little information about the artist as not all readers will know about him. It also helps the reader understand if they want to read the rest of the article.

I added two grab quotes which should make the reader want to read the article. I chose two quotes that would give the reader an insight into the character of my artist for example by talking about his fans we get the impression that he is really grateful for his fans and how they have helped him become an artist.

Like I did with my contents page, I added my masthead which helps with branding. I feel the vibrant masthead works well with the coloured text and feel it helps make the double page spread effective.

I added a link to Spencer's social media site because that will help his progression as an artist and it will encourage people to talk about this double page spread and give feedback. I also added who conducted the interview and who took the photo because it’s a code and convention of double page spreads.
