Double Page Spread

Finished Double Page Spread

 
This is my completed double page spread and article.  I have continued the colour scheme of red, black and grey on this page. I used a black and white image as I felt it looked best next to the bright colours on the article page.  I also kept the theme of red as it brightens up my double page spread. 
I kept the pages conventional by using columns for the article, page numbers, masthead, date of issue and also adding a pull quote from the article.  I made the pull quite red so it stands out on he page.  I also made a letter layer effect which one inspired by Q and I think that its rather unique and makes the double page spread different to other pages in the magazine.
I wanted to add another pull quote on top of the image as I felt that there was a lot of dead space towards the top of the image, I feel that this worked well as I think pull quotes stand out and having another on top of the image allowed the reader to engage more into the article by reading the quote first.
I am very happy with how my article has turned out. I liked how I could add more features than what I planned and I also changed the page order.  I think that its very conventional and I like how the letter layer effect works under the article, I feel that it all worked well together. I think that it is better than my original design.
Overall I am happy with how my double page spread has turned out, I think I could improve on some thing such as the image page but I am happy as it is and I think it works well so far.
