Double Page Spread Construction and Shoot Analysis

Firstly I uploaded the photo to Adobe InDesign. I inserted a dotted line to split the page in half to help me when I construct it to keep the page ordered and symmetrical. 

This image appears to be my finished DPS spread, however I didn't think the block of text looked professional enough and the title wasn't the size I wanted so I carried on making futher amends. I reached this stage by; for the title I inserted the text using the text tool and changed the 'without' to italics. I used this method to create the quote on the left side of the page. I created the transparent box by firstly creating a box with rectangle tool, droppping in a grey tint then applying a transparency to it. I then inserted the text using the text tool then fitted it to the size of the box. 

In this screenshot I have separated the article into two columns to create a more professional look that adheres to the genre conventions. I have made the title text larger to make more of an impact and to catch the readers eye. I added a pink arrow to signify that the text carries on onto the next page - When I first wrote my article it was much longer than this, however I had to cut it short to fit onto this page. I created the triangle from the polygon tool. I selected the polygon tool and before I let go of the shape I pressed the down arrow key to 2 times to create the triangle.

This is my completed DPS spread. I again inserted my quote on the left hand side of the page.  I have removed the dotted line separating the two pages as it was just used to help me construct my page. 

Shoot Analysis of Different Shots

I chose this shot for my DPS because my model is on the left hand side and looking directly at the camera so the reader will see her straight away and be pulled into the article. Her facial expressions and body language further reinforce her undeniable confidence she has in herself and her music. The background is very edgy and creates interest as it far away from mainstream-pop studio photos.

She is wearing in trend clothes that signify the indie rock genre and are very in-trend.

I didn't chose this image as the model is not looking at the camera therefore not making direct address with the reader.

I didn't chose this photo because it is quite closed framed and doesn't have much room for text, however I might also feature a smaller version of this photo on my DPS spread when I make amends.

I didn't chose this image because of the text on the right hand side as this would intervene with the article text

I didn't chose this photo as the main image for my DPS because it is a landscape close up shot and doesn't allow enough room for text. However I might also feature this photo on my DPS spread when I make amends; the floral in-trend jacket is typical of the indie genre and will draw readers into the article, it is also a good contrast against the black/grey backdrop photo.

I really like this image and it would have been the perfect image to fit on one side of the DPS, however in my intial planning I wanted a photo that was landsape to fill two pages. She is wearing in trend clothes that signify the indie rock genre and are very in-trend.
