Design's: Second Double Page

This is where most of my information will be placed, as the first double page spread is to get the viewers attention, and give a little general information about the article. I have continued to have inspiration from other magazines on how to layout out my own. Also this will give me some good, and some bad result, because they layout also depends on what subject you are doing. A very graphic look to my layout will not work, as I am doing pollution. Also colours is a major point in the designing area.

For my first design I again got inspired by this magazine layout [link]. I like how one image shows the most detail in the magazine, and then on the other page give the information and smaller images to show the information's points. I have also added the title of the magazine at the top right of the page, as I wanted people to know what the magazine title was even thought out the magazine. I thought that this made the first page look professional. For the image on the first page, i cropped the image at the bottom so it would fit better on the page I also cropped it from the left side of the image, as this would then fit that page better, and look more attractive. In this layout I have designed it in such a way that this one image would show how the park is an attractive place. With the other three smaller images on the second page shows what it looks like around the park. Around the three smaller images I have added a black border to outline them, and make them stand out. This contrast is what I was aiming for within my magazine. I think this is a good layout, and will possible be a final piece.

This is my second design for the inside of the double page spread magazine. I wanted to completely go another direction to widen my layouts, and so that I have a wider range of choice when coming to my final piece. This design is slightly more busy than the previous design, as there is more images, and more areas or writing. Even though it is a little busy on the second page I really like this design. I like the colour of the background, as this is unusual and different. I don't think I will be using this design in my final piece because the layout is too crowded, and busy. The rows on images was inspired by my research of this image [link]. The small images were to show a contrast between the beautiful, and the pollution. The top row shows all the pollution and waste, showing how polluted the area is, although the bottom row shows how the park is beautiful, although will probably soon be run over by the pollution.

This was one of my own ideas that I wanted to see how it looked. I think this looks really great, I love how the one image is spread right along both pages, although cropped to the main focus point. Also I think the three columns of writing looks profession under the huge banner from the image. I added the title of the magazine at the top right to say that this is ownership of Photography Now. I also added in page numbers at the bottom of each corner. I think this is a brilliant layout, and I think it looks simple but effective.

Design four was just to try out a few of my own layouts, I don't think this worked out as well as other designs; this is because of page four; with the small images. This has made the layout look messy, and not laided out well. I like the black banner across both of the pages at the top of the magazine, I think this looks effective, and has made the magazine look professional. Again on page four the columns of writing do not flow with the rest of the layout. My favourite part is the black banner giving information of the magazine, article, and author. I also like the little break at the every beginning of the black banner.

Design five, is another version of the previous design. I thought that I could layout the magazine better, as I think this layout has potential. I changed the height of the columns on page four, as I think this has made the layout look less busy, and also made the layout look more presentable. I have also added page numbers at the bottom of the magazine, also adding the small black break, as I think this makes the layout look interesting. The banner was inspired from this magazine [link]. I added my own effect to the beginning of the banner with the small break.
