Creating The Single Page Spread

I decided to create a single page with a separate story to the two page spread. I decided to do this incase my two page spread did not contain enough text or words, but also so I could do a slightly different style page aswell. Rather than creating another black page, I decided to make a page with a white background but also with a different type of story. Whereas my two page spread is about an existing artist, my single page is a short story on a new band.


I created the main title by using the same downloaded font as the one used for their band name on the front cover, I placed it into publisher by using word art and setting the colour to black so it stands out and gives contrast on the black background. I created the text boxes using autoshapes and created the fake CD case in the same way to the one on my two page spread.




The original photo that I used had an awful greyish tinge on the background, so I used exposure to make the photo very bright so it stands out. This also makes the persons skin on the photo brighter which in this case looks good, however sometimes it can make people look orange which doesn't look good.
