experimentation wih double page spread









screen shot 1: this the image i was using as the background in the past post. you can see all of the detail in tight in the left corner so it wouldn't be a good background image.

screenshot 2: i wanted to add a other colour into the background so i changed the writing to yellow, which was one difficult to read and two just didn't look correct it just looked out of place. i also added the live tabs at the tab which i did by writing the text rubbing it out with a metal photoshop brush butting it onto a grey box and rubbing it out at the edges. i then added the two portrait images to the side of the main image. i wanted to show more of the gig. one of the images goes over the main image so i delicately erased the portrait image around his head. i did want to add an extra image but i though i would get too cluttered. i added small details like the page number at the bottom of the page. these numbers also correlate with the contents page. i used a photoshop brush over the title and information but i don't think the text is very visible on top of this.

screenshot 3: i changed the text to red as i though it was more noticeable and looked the same as the rest of the magazine. although, i did keep the yellow on the tab bits at the top just to introduce another colour. i also added a 'heard it here first' graphic which will make my article more exclusive and it is a buzz phrase because people are enticed to read. i removed the previous photoshop brush of the metal and added a ink/smokey brush instead but i still didn't think it looked correct.

screen shot4: this is another example of my multi-document working technique. i made the brush i wanted and then dragged it onto my document.
