I then added my picture of the artist on the left. I then used the magic wand tool to get rid of the background which would be there when the picture is taken. This then lets me have the just the image of the person without the background on my double page spread. This is also similar for other double page spread magazines which have the background deleted and they add their own background colour which in this case is white/black/grey. I then have images on the top and bottom of my writing to represent who Dj franz is as they are both drawings of Djs. I then have black boxes on the bottom using shape tool to have space to add more images to add more information about the artist.
This is the first stage of my double spread where I decided the colour of the background which would a mixture of black and white which gives the illusion of grey. I done this to show my artist has different sides such as being e.g innocent being white, while black is representing power and mystery. While grey is a mix of the both which my artist can portray. I used the gradient tool to show this effect and then edited with it to have the white appear more than black to show my artist represents more that colour than the colour black. Also the black is more grey so my artist only represents part of that colour representation.
I then added text to the double page spread. First discussing the background of the artist and how he got to this stage of his career for example what he got in school and his decisions after. I then discussed about him releasing his new single after having success with his previous one. I then discuss his future and where he plans to go next. Last I do an interview with Dj franz which I ask a few questions.
