Double page spread construction

I began with a background image that I took of Bodmin Jail which I edited in photoshop previously to make it black and white. I also cropped the image slightly to fill the page better.

Next I added a second image to the page on the left, this was an image I took at Roche Rock of a window, I then removed the contents of the window hole.

Here I added the title for the feature article 'Paranormal Cornwall'. I chose to use a Celtic variety of font to create continuity with the Cornish/historic theme that is utilised throughout my magazine. I used several filters on the text to make the title more prominent on the page.

I selected a smart, clear, white font for my introductory and main body text. This allows the text to contrast vividly with the dark backgrounds.

Following convention with the magazines I have looked at, I decided to start my feature article with a large bold capital letter.

Here I have added the page numbers in the lower corners in the same font and colour as my main body and introductory text.

I chose to include an image of an angelic stature that I took in one of Bodmin's cemeteries, I thought this fit well with the themes conveyed in my feature article.

I made some alterations to the colours of the statue image, to add some colour to the page. I used the filter glowing lines to create this effect.













I made some drastic changes to my feature page's background after reconsidering the overall design of the article. Here I added several images that I took on a visit to Bodmin Jail, I laid these images over each other while changing the opacity levels to create a layered effect. I also moved my angel image to the left page and enlarged it to cover it's entirety.
