I have started my double spread page design by inserting the images and the interview so I could get a feel of how it was going to look. I inserted the text and images in a very basic way but put the text in collums, unlike my initial designs where it was in one block. I like the idea of have a large picture on the one page but I could make the two pages overlap by stretching the title across both pages. I am considering reversing the order of the article and the main image because, even though it's effective as the model looks like she's reading the article, it might be more effective to have her looking into the distance as it makes the reader think more about the picture. I also may reverse the order of the two smaller pictures as they meet in the middle by the collision of the model's hand and the record, and it may look better if they meet with blank space so blend more. Im not yet sure what to do with the blank space at the bottom of the article- I could perhaps put a quote there but move the article down so the quote is more in the centre. My next step would be to arrange the images so I am satisfied and then the extra bits of info such as the main title and the standfirst. I may put the standfirst above the article or on the opposite page below the title. The page looks a bit like I've thrown everything on at the moment and I will have to make changes to make it look more professional.
