  Firstly I decidedto use this image as one of my main double page spread images. I have edited it by duplicating the original layer . I then desaturated this layer. To bring some colour back to the image I then used the opacity tool.

  I then decidedto edit this image for my double page spread too. Firstly I decided to darken the image with curves.I then used a lens flare over the image to give a better effect.

  I then startedmy double page spread by opening up a new A3 landscape page.
• 5.
  I started byadding a title in the same colour as my music artists t-shirt colour.
• 6.
  I then addedthe same style text as i used on my front cover to the double page spread.
• 7.
  I then addeda skyline brushes effect in grey behind the title.
• 8.
  I then addedone of my chosen images and darkened it with curves. I then put this on a slant to give more of an edgy feel.
• 9.
  I then addedmy second chosen image at a different angle. I then used a bevel and emboss, and a drop shadow effect on the outline of the image to make it stand out more.
• 10.
  I then addeda blue brushes effect next to the title.
• 11.
  I then addedmy double page spread article in columns. I used the colours blue and black. The introductory paragraph I chose to be 18pt whereas the rest of the text is 14pt. I started off the article with a drop cap .

  I then addeda pull quote to the double page spread and made this stand out with a large black font.
• 13.
  I then addedanother pull quote in a space in the text.
• 14.
  Here I haveadded a white rounded box around the text. I have reduced opacity so it doesn't show up as an obvious box. I have done this so the edge of one of my images does not stand out too dark behind the text.

  Finally, I haveadded another blue brushes tool design to the end of the Olly Ward text.
