Before I completed my Contents Page (Contents Page) I actually completed my Double Page Spread First. I waited awhile untill I completed my Contents Page so I could submit them in order. Below is my completed work.
(The white dashed line down the center of the page represents the half of the page)
My origninal concept of my Double Page Spread (Original Concept) was that all the text and images would be tilted and I would have 3 images but one taking up most of the room. I decided to chang my idea of my Double Pake spread by keeping all most everything straight (Except the image on the top right hand corner). The images are all mine and have been taking with me and my friends at my colleges music studio.
Like other magazines I have looked at before the Double Page Spread was always different towards the rest of the magazine. This included different backgrounds, text, colours and font sizes. With the logo of the band "Codename Project" looking like a "Cyber" compyter type look I used the same font style but used larger bolder text to ask the questions while the answers to the questions were the answrs to the questions. I also used a larger text to introduce the story of the Double Page Spread.
The background is fully black with grey blur effects in every corner of the page, this is suppose to contrast with the Cyber like feel towards the band but I now think it does not work very well. I have used a lightning bult like border on a image to make it look similar to the lightning bolt I used in the bands logo.
I believe that I did rather well designing this page but I do believe that the background is a let down and I should of spent more time designing it.
After a month of extra time to finish my work in my own time I have finnaly completed my contents page. Below is my finished result.
The contents page has been a rather fun and creative task were I included a lot of different effects and texts. I personally believe this is one of my most favourite pages I have worked on and included a wide range of different effects and layout designs.
Mor original design of my contents page looked rather different to which I originally planned (Original Design), most of the text fields and pictures would all be tilted. I decided to make most of the text straight in the lower half of the page, while using the tilted images and text on the top half of the page. The images I have taken include my own that I took while in the Wyke college music studio, a image taken by my friend Scott and edited on Photoshop (Crowz pictutre) and an image taken at a Halloween party (Inside the Mind of Scott Awty).
The text and font style is the same I used from my front cover but I used two different types, a strong black bold text as titles and positioned at the top and the center of the page, and a smaller white version of the text which comes in varied sizes and is used to explain stories or as the content descriptions.
the background was an accidental green blur I made on fireworks one day and I deided to add blur effects and further colours I decided it would look good for the magazine, because of the use of green as the magazines home colour style. And with a dark grey background it completes the magazines look.
I am happy with the turn out of my magazine and the design is much more better to which I originally planned.
