Progression Of Double Page Spread

I started off my double page spread by creating the background from two separate images that were taken to get the countryside and more vintage look I also changed the filter, the idea of using the picture of reads was that they fitted in already with the colour scheme. The other thing I started to do was sort the layout using my draft plan, this included using two opaque rectangles so the background would still be seen but so would the text. I was then advised to add another rectangle so more text would be able to fit into the double page spread giving the consumer more information making it more attractive and them more likely to buy it. The next things that I added were the masthead, title, sidebar, pull quote and kicker. I decided to have an unconventional pull quote after trying to get it go fit round the other text that would be place in the boxes however as this didn’t work and the was a lot of space free I decided to place it just to the side of the title, as shown in the final image of the double page spread. To make the kicker stand out I also used a different colour for the different parts of the interview text (the questions and answer and introduction) as this made it clearer to the audience and easier for them to read.  For this product I received very little feedback other than to add a date and web address to the bottom of the page.
