Step By Step Through My Double Page Spread

To create my double page spread I had to use the software InDesign, to start I opened up the program and selected the layout.

1

Once I had my pages set out I placed my main image onto the left page, to do this I had to go ‘file’, ‘place’ and select my edited image. I also used the type tool to place a small page number in the bottom left hand corner.

Once I was happy with the placement of my image I set about creating the title. To do this I had to use the type tool, I wanted to change the colour of the title to contrast with the rest of the article so I highlighted the words and chose an appropriate swatch to use.

After I had finished the title I went and used the box tool to make a rectangle box for the introduction of my article. I wanted to still be able to see the image behind it so I changed the opacity.

The next thing I did was add in all of my article from word, to do this I had to set up column using the paragraph tool bar, I had to paste in the article and adjust it accordingly. I made sure I left enough space for an additional image.

When I had finished with my article I added the last additional image to the page, I used the stroke tool to give it a black boarder and rotated it off of the page. I had to adjust the text to flow around the image
