I was stuck when deigning my double page spread, as I had two strong images, yet both very different. I thus began to design a double page spread using both to decide the desired style and image of my product.
This image with my model holding a guitar is a strong image as it reflects the music genre of the magazine. I thought it brought about the opportunity to use my red colour over the top without distracting from the image behind as it's black and white. The picture itself if also of good quality and appears so in preview.
I however decided that placing text over the image did not work and I realised that doing so would mean that my models face would end up being covered. I have also not used a black and white image with this particular model before in the magazine, and i thus think that using this does not follow the house style.
I then experimented using this fade image which I edited in photoshop. I think that the fading around the edge looks professional, and also eye catching. My model is also wearing a red skirt with red lips which ties in with my colour scheme and helps me to assert my house style better on these pages. Her positioning is also a positive point in the photo, as it provides opportunity to warp text around her. The text does not look out of place when going over the landscape of the photo, and draws no attention away from the model herself.
