After finishing my front cover and contents page, I then moved onto my double page spread. I kept the theme of the fire by adding it into the page number box - I wanted to keep it subtle. I also got rid of the polaroid as I felt it was quite awkward and random and used the photo as my overall background on the right page. I faded it so you were still able to see the image over the text but I felt this was a good change because it made the page look a lot more creative and exciting because the colour was more prominent.
I also edited the floating quote and made it bigger within the page so that it stood out more and I also added another quote onto my left page which somewhat summarised my entire article. I also found this was useful and successful because it also linked the images to the text. A challenge I found with this however was the colour of the quote. I experimented with a variety of colours because I wanted to find one which was bold and bright but wasn't too different from the rest of the magazine. I also wanted it to go well with my genre and after many trial and errors, I found a yellowy gold colour which I felt was greatly suitable because it was bold and effective but suited the magazine well. I also added a thin inner glow to make the text stand out more on the page however I think this thin inner glow was too thin therefore I will make the inner glow a lot stronger and harder later on in the process so that it is clearer thus makes the text stand out a lot more.
Another change I made was with my images. I decided to blur them together so it was a blurred collage because this made it look a lot more interesting and exciting. Also, I found that this made the page a lot more appealing because before I blurred them together, it didn't look right and the images looked quite static - they didn't work together in a way I wanted them to.
