Double Page Spread Plans

This first plan is very neat and clean looking which the readers will appreciate as they will find it very easy to read. I especially this as the main image is in the centre of the page which hardly ever happens on DPS. This means my double page spread will look unique. In addition, this plan looks very organized which will make my magazine look that  it’s been well planned out and structured.

This second double page spread is more like the normal and usual DPS’s you see on any magazines. It’s very common and boring but it is very easy to read and my audience will not get lost while reading the articles due to the columns. The main image will also be aligned with the columns which will make the page look really tidy. The fonts that will be used for this DPS is also the same as the front page which will show continuation throughout the magazine.

My last double page spread plan is very attractive and interesting.  This DPS will allow more space for the main article. The reader will be able to read more contents. It’s also very different from any other magazine double page spread. I like the use of colours as it brings out the font and colour used in the headline. The format of the upper section of the magazine is also very attractive and eye catching which will hopefully lure readers in.

Advert - New single

Trial and Error

This is the first edit I created on Picmonkey. I felt that it gave the picture a ‘Cold’ look which I didn’t really like as it didn’t look very appealing to the audience and it also doesn’t have any relation to my chosen genre.

This second edit was a lot closer to my chosen genre than the first edit. This edit shows more of a ‘Hip-Hop’ or ‘Gangster’ look to it which is very different to what I was going for. The texture of this edit also makes the image very worn out giving it an old look.

In this edit I played around with the geometric shapes and chose the triangle as it’s a very sharp shape which may connote confidence and will give it an edgy feel. Then for the individual shapes I placed them in a very unique way giving each shape a different color which gives a fun and loving feel to the image too.

Developing the main 

I was inspired from the music video from 2NE1’s music video ‘Clap Your Hands.’ At one point in their video they wore very sharp shaped clothes where they had suites on in red and white. But I added the colours because I felt that if I stuck with red and white I’d be too boring and the red will be too over whelming for the readers because the main colour pallet already has the colour red.

Here you can see I've added the title of the New Single. It's  titled 'Beautiful Hangover.' Whilst creating and editing this I was listening to Big Bang who've inspired me for the title of this new single. At first I placed the title at the bottom of the album in black but that was hard to see against the image. 

Here is the improved section of the one above. I turned the writing white which shows more clearly against the image. I've also added a 'Handwritting' look alike of the artists name. By doing this it looks like her handwriting or signature which will be effective for this Single.  I have placed her name at the bottom right as I've built up an image of her being well known and she's already well known which means her name doesn't have to be plastered all over the place.

Finished Product 

Here is the final product. I am very pleased with the outcome. I feel that it looks very realistic and it portrays well for my chosen ganre.
