Summary and step by step of Double Page Spread

I have already spokn about how I produced my background and title of double page spread in my earlier post, so now I am going to talk about how I produced the rest of my double page spread.
The next thing I did was I placed the two other picture I was using on my DPS. I placed these at the bottom of the left hand side of the DPS. I then edited these by selecting the effect icon from the 'object' toolbar. I then used the 'inner glow', 'outer glow' and 'inner shadow' to edit these pictures.
I then added in the quote that I used on the front cover and put this next to the title - 'Our Break has finally arrived' I then edited this by just using a yellow outline as the font colour.
Next to this I then placed the Album cover of The Olivers. I have shown this image in a previous post. I edited this album cover by using a 'gradient shadow tool' in effect section.
I then went on to produced the magazine logo in the bottom left hand corner of the left hand page. I did the logo in yellow and I then used the 'rotate' tool to rotate it anti clockwise..
The text -
for the 'Y' I did this in bigger font to be conventional as other magazine use this. As
I have a dark background, I am going to have my font colour white so it stands out in contrast to the black background..
I did a short paragraph on the interview and then started with the questions 'Kelly Smith' asked. I have done Kelly's name in red and the members of the band in yellow. This is so there is s distinction between the interviewer and the interviewee..
For the boys answers I used the rectangle tool to create a red box and then on top of that I used a text box and put the boys answers on top of the red box, this is so that it stands out to the viewers.
At the end of the interview I then put in white writing to see more on the Olivers visit our website below.
Below this I then put the web address, I did this by using the rectangle tool and producing a red box. On top of this I then used the text box tool and typed in the address in yellow writing to stand out on top of the red box.

I got all of the above ideas from this real music magazine double page spread:
