Screenshots of my double pagespread

I started with a blank QuarkXPress document and I opened up two pages to start my double page spread.

I decided to create a black background as it matched with my colour scheme and it also matched with the other colours I have decide to use. I originally took different pictures of my artist but unfortunately the pictures weren't right so I decided to take some more. I thought that this connected Indie more than the other ones did.

I than added this title as I believe that it matched well with my article and main picture. I decided to use this blue colour as it was in my colour scheme and it also stands out well against the black background.

I wrote out my stand first and copied it onto my double page spread. I chose to write this out in white as it also matched my colour theme and stood out on the black background.

This is the double page spread now with the full article I had written in place. I wrote the article first on a Word document and than copied it over onto this QuarkXPress document.

I decided that I wasn’t very happy with my title so I decided to change the title but make a new title bigger so it stands out a lot more.

I added this title and than I was happy until I realized I still had a lot of my article that doesn’t fit on the page.

I decided to create another page in order to fit the rest of my article. I also made up some more paragraphs for my article in order for it to fit across the page better.

I than added a quote in the middle of one of my pages in order to attract the audiences attention. Most magazines do this so I decided to stick to the codes and conventions and also do this.

I than had one extra column left to fill up so I added an extra picture of my musician.

And here is all of my pages together.

I decided last minute to change the font to this one because I think it fits the article and the picture a lot more than the other one did.
