Second attempt Indesign

For my second attempt of creating a double page spread, I thought more about the font, the position of the images and the position of the text columns. I altered the titles, 'Budget' and 'Deluxe' so they would stand out more whilst using a more sophisticated styled font which resonates throughout the article. I changed the position of the images so that they would flow better in the spread, however; I realise they still need some tweaking as there are some large gaps which need filling. Perhaps I will find some more 'budget' and 'deluxe' items to add. Instead of general text columns, I added extra points in the text box so i was able to alter the text to move with the object. Finally, I included two black lines running from the bottom of the spread to the top which adds to the more professional look.

Saying this, I'm not totally satisfied with this spread and think I will attempt it once more.

First attempt Indesign

This was my first attempt of creating a double page spread in the new design program, Indesign. Unlike Photoshop, Indesign enables you to create columns for text and lets you manage images with ease. I had the idea of creating a magazine spread informing people on where to shop for festival necessities cheaply and extravagantly. Off course, the writing in this magazine spread doesn't make sense as I just wanted to gather some design ideas for the spread.
