DOUBLE SPREAD


 My Double Spread took alot of editing and alot of complicated placements but it turned out well. Following is how I made my double spread. 

INITIAL SETTING UP: 

I started off with setting the dimensions and then of course the margins of the double spread. This even included the gutter and the margins by which the page was divided into two. This is how everything regarding the margins, borders and divisions looked like.

 
 
 

THE TITLE / TOPIC: 

The topic for my double spread was "All About Rottweilers". I chose this topic because I could write apt information on it since I myself own a pet rottweiler and my photography was on my pet too. I put more emphasis on the name of the breed of the dog "Rottweilers" while setting up the title. It was put in a CHILDREN SANS font while the words "All About" were put in a KG HAPPY font. These were the fonts I selected. 

 
 
 

These fonts and the topic was placed on a patterned yellowish background which gave the first page of the double spread an even eye catching look. 

This is how I inserted the pattern of my choice:

  

 

 Along with my title and this patterned background specified to the topic only, this is how it turned out:

THE PICTURE: 

I only used two pictures for my double spread and they both didn't need any kind of editing. One is my main cover photo placed and adjusted with my topic and the other is the one I used for the second page of my double spread.




 

ARTICLE WRITING: 

I finally started writing the article and had subheadings too. My subheadings were put in the same font as of the font of "Rottweilers" in the main topic ie KG HAPPY and the article underneath was put in a simple brown Times New Roman font. This is an example of how it looked like. 


 
 
 
FURTHERDIVISIONS: 

I divided the second page of my double spread into two columns since my article was to be written that way.  This is how it looked after division.

 
 
FINAL TOUCHES: 
 
After all this, I now had to write the entire article with the decided font styles and font sizes. I also placed the name of my magazine with the issue date underneath the margins. 
 

This is how my magazine double spread turned out!

PUBLISHING HOUSE

 The publishing house that I chose for my animal magazine would be DAWN. DAWN is a well known publishing house since its the oldest english language newspaper/ magazine in Pakistan. They usually have their spotlights on a variety of topics so in my opinion, they will feel no hesitation to publish my genre as well.  Another reason of the less likely chances for DAWN to reject my magazine is the number of people with dogs as pets in our country is quite high, which means that the genre of my magazine will be proven beneficial for many people since it is highly representative.

PHOTOGRAPHY RULES

  Photography rules and their information is as important as anything else in media.  We discussed a number of rules that should be considered while we take a photo, and rules that we should knowing while taking our shots. Here are some of the shots I took and the rules that they belong to : DEPTH OF FIELD: 'Depth of field' is used for objects in the background and the foreground. It focuses on the main subject. LEADING LINES: 'Leading Lines' show the effect that the viewer is being dragged towards a specific subject and draw the viewers eye to a specific direction. NOSE ROOM: 'Nose Room' is the space between the subject in a photo and the next moving or still object being looked towards. HEAD ROOM: The 'Head Room' is the space between the subjects head and the top of the frame ie the space of the room.

DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY

As far as the distribution of my magazine is concerned, it will be made available in majorly all urban areas that are highly populated. These would be Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, and Multan in particular since statistics and research states that mostly dog owners are found in these urban areas.   I will be selling my magazine's copies at a fair price in the number of 1000. These will be available at big shops and stalls where mostly the upper class, upper middle class, and the middle class people will have their reach.
