Ancillary task: Double page spread


Here is the final print of my double page spread.


After looking at many double and single page spreads to give me ideas, I decided to begin mine. I got the background image of pencils of google because i thought it would be slightly different to many, seeing as most double page spreads contain a plain background. Using snapshots from our documentary, i added in the ones which were relevent to my article. Here are the snapshots:







I noticed many articles in TV magazine contain snapshots from the relevant scene, such as if there were a fight scene in a soap drama, there would be a snapshot of the fight, or if something tragic were to happen, there would be a snapshot of it to lure the viewers into watching it. For example,


 I also noticed much articles about individual celebrities such as singers or actors contain a more posed/staged photo which is why i opted for just the snapshots. Here is an example of this:


Left page                                                                                          Right page

I emphasised particular quotes from characters, for a better chance of attracting viewers. For example, emphasising the quote "Im just fed up really - all the teachers picking on me" in a different color font, bigger and bolder may help to attract viewers by making them ask the questions 'what happened? 'are the teachers actually picking on him?'. The contrasting quote of Mr Kernan "Hes one of the small group of students were going to have to clamp down it" also makes the viewer want to watch the documentary and find out if he is as misbehaved as Mr Kernan says.
