This is the construction of my double page spread. This has been the hardest task for me, but it went the way I wanted it to.
When I first thought about how I was going to do this I was completely unsure, but after I looked at existing magazines and did my research I came up with the perfect plan. I thought of an image in my head of what I wanted for my photograph (this was before my photoshoot) and on my mood board there are the images of Drake sitting on a chair. I wanted to have something like that to then go onto the next page. When I then had my photoshoot I got the perfect position and I was picturing in my mind what it would be like. I had to flip the photo round so it could go on the first page, but that wasn't a problem. It may have taken longer than I wanted it to in InDesign, but I got there in the end and started to put it together. I came up with the idea to cut the photo wear the page ends in the middle and just have the feet on the side of the next page, to then have the text wrap around the image. That went all fine until I started writing up my interview. I don't know why but I struggled to get the text to go round the feet and the M at the beginning would not cooperate so I had to do it in a very interesting and more complex than it should've been way. Typing up the interview was what took the longest. I had writing a draft by hand so I was trying my hardest to type it up and get it all to fit. It took me ages and I had to make a lot of alters but I did it and now I looks amazing.
When I started the dps, I was just going to have the one image. When I then had the issue with original images I added my favourite image from the photoshoot into the top right corner to fill the space out and I then added a baby picture of the model to where I was talking about when he was little. I did take that photo myself, but it was a photo of a photo. So I should think that counts. I had the elements of blue all over the page to have that synergy with the colour scheme and the rest of the magazine. There isn't much blue, but there is just enough. You can't have too much blue or it would override the grey scale in the colour scheme.

You are showing good design awareness Lauren. The use of colour, image, and text create a focal point. This is what makes the pages look sophisticated, visually interesting. Well done.
