Step By Step Editing of Double Page Spread

This post is going to show how I edited my double page spread which is a interview with the music artist 'DANI'.


The first step I did was place the two images I'm going to use into Indesign.The next step I did was position the photo's where I wanted them and also set the background colour. The next step I did was put the appropriate quotations next to the photo's on the document. To make the boxes around the quotations I clicked the 'Shape Tool' and drew a rectangle shape for the quote to go in.
Before writing the actual interview I thought that the text wouldnt show up very good against the purple background. However I still didn't want a bland white double page spread. So i decided to draw a a white box with the purple background, so that way the text would still be clear but also I have the edgy purple colour.


The next step I did was insert the headline to the spread. For the headline I used the font Times New Roman and the size was 60.









This is what my spread looked like with the headline on the page.
I then decided to change the colour of the text in the headline and also one of the quotes to give a wider variation of colour to the spread. To change the colour of the text I higlighted the text and pressed the stroke tool and changed the colour to red. This is what it looked like with the change in colour.










After that I wrote and inserted the interview, this is what it looked like after the text had been inserted. Around the purple boarder I decided to add some text to frame the spread. This is what it finally looks like.
