This is a double page spread which was created to give me a guideline for a layout. This double page spread was influenced by the 'Q' magazine.
The band 'Metallica' are backed by a grey wall, and so i had to change the left hand side of the double page spread to match it, to make it look more like a double page spread and not just two seperate pages. The text is backed onto a large auto rectangle, which has then had its colours saturated to give it the marble, wall effect. This complements the image by making it stand out.
I tried to keep this double page spread quite minimalist. As the only colours in the picture are different shades of black and white, they are the scheme of colour i have chosen to merge both image and text to form a double page spread. The text is done by a preset font, and in the shade black, based on the grey marble effect wall. By using only these colours it makes the page stand out, and easier to read. Compared to a coloured filled page with a greyscale image.
The font for the name of this page was created on *www.urbanfonts.com
I have chosen a font which is quite similar to the main text, the colour is also the same. The only difference really is the size. Beneath the title, in a slightly smaller font is a quote from one of their albums (a song called 'Nothing ever dies') this helps to tie the reader in. The quote 'Nothing ever dies' can be interpretted in many ways; it can refer to the band coming back from a long break or it can be interpretted as being, another great CD release, which in this case it is.
This image shows what genre of music the band plays by playing on the sub-cultural aspect. All four bandmembers are wearing leather jackets, shaded glasses and one with long hair. This instantly makes us think of rock or metal.
