draft and final double page spread

First draft double page spread:

This is the first draft of my double page spread.  I was happy with the overall layout with the model and title on one side with the writing going down the other side of the page. I thought carefully about where most of the attention was on the page and found that there was more weight on the right side of the page, which meant it wasnt consistent enough. I found that the model's arm worked as an anchor and the "T" in the title drew too much attention so I changed the words so that the reader's attention is equally across the page.

Another issue with this first draft is the two smaller images on the bottom left of the page. The colour didn't work well with the background of the image so I decided to only use on image but edit it further in photoshop to make it a gold colour to match the image. Not onlt did this add weight to the left side of the page it worked well asthetically to the overall page.

Second draft of double page spread:

I decided to edit the main image further by changing the colour of the background.





























Final changes:
One thing I found difficult with my double page spread was the background. I used this image because I liked how the background was rich and suited the Indian theme well.  After editing the image several times to make the colours lighter I found that it was still difficult to see the main writing on the page. I decided to add a Gaussian blur and make the writing stick out more by adding a shadow to the object and increasing the opacity. Although, I still thought it needed work so I separated the image in two so that one side was black and white and the other was the original colour I edited for the background.  After that, I selected half of the page for the side with the writing and I used a gradient to  go from the gold colour to white. By doing this I still had the design of the background and white space which was useful for making my writing clear to see. I also used the stamp tool to recreate areas of the material in the background in the blank spaces where there was no writing so the page looked more fuller. 

Finally, I decided to move the components around so that the white space was in a suitable place for the writing and the smaller image could be placed on top of the darker areas of the page.

production process of double page spread

Production process -Photoshop :

Select – once choosing my image and placing it into a new document in Photoshop I selected the whole image so that I could start editing.

Adjustments: To edit the strength of the overall image I used adjustments which let me change the levels and colour balance.

Levels: Levels was useful for making the natural colours of the image stronger which made them stand out more. For example, by using levels I was able to make the model’s hair darker and her clothes more radiant.

Lasso tool: I used the lasso tool so that I could select only the areas I wanted to edit. I used this for the material in the image so that I could make it brighter to a more gold colour without changing the colour of the model.

Curves: Once I selected the area with the lasso tool I used curves which I then adjusted to change the shades of the colour. By doing this the image looks less dull and relates more to the theme of my magazine as rich gold colours are associated with Asian culture.

Spot healing brush tool: Once zooming into the model’s face I used the spot healing brush tool remove any strands of hair that were out of place. This was useful for making the model look more polishes and neat.

Gaussian blur – I used this to blur certain areas of the image that I wanted to make weaker so that if I placed writing on top it would be more visible. I also used this in my main photo for my double page spread on the left side of the image where there was most of the rich material. I used this tool so I could still see the design and have writing on top of it that stands out more clearly, then faded into the back ground.

production process of double page spread

Using all of my research and my previous photo shoots this was my final image for my double page spread

Production process:

Layout new document for double page spread:

I started by producing my double page spread in the

program “InDesign”. First I opened up a new document then to getdouble page I added three pages.

Placing image and adding rule of thirds:

Once I placed the image, which I saved in my documents I used the rulers as a guideline to divide my pages into thirds. This is important to place my components within the ruled lines to keep it organised and neat when adding in my components and titles.

Adding in components:

I decided to add a small square box at the top of my page which has writing underneath it. This related back to my research but also added weight to the area, which distributed the reader's attention equally across the page.

I did this by selecting the square box tool and selecting it to the size I wanted. After that I was able to change the colour of the box by using the colour replicate tool and grabbed the colour from the background image and then filled the box.

After that, I added in the writing below it by using the "Text" tool. I was able to change the style of "Woman who rock 2015" by using the style text box which let me change the font, stroke and height of the text. I then changed the colour of the text to make it stand out more off the dark background this. I done this by selecting the text box and highlighting the words, then the colour box appeared and I selected the "T" sign and changed the colour to white.

How I added in smaller images:

I wanted more then one image on my double page spread so I edited two pictures. One from a saree photo shoot and another from when the model is wearing western clothing. I then placed these two images into the document by converting them into "JPEG" files and the changing the scale so that they fit the page.

Scaling the image print screen:


 




















Anchoring text: 
I done this so that I could add text that I dragged around the models arm so I the writing could neatly be written across the page around her arm so that the text box is not square but consistent with the image.

Adding feather adjustment: I added a diffused feather to my title "Star of 2015" because I wanted the rich gold to blend in with the style on the background.

 

Photoshoot

Photos taken for the double page spread:

Here are my Initial photographs I took for the double page spread where I experimented with different angle to suit the lighting and compliment the model's complexion.
