Double Page Spread & Reflection #11

Great to see you!

        Today, we will be seeing my double-page spread. In the double-page spread, I used the topics from the table of contents and wrote down reasons why dogs are good house pets. So, here is my double-page spread.

        Doing this was a little bit stressful. The specific thing that was stressful was creating the double-page itself. It is supposed to be 11x17, however every time I clicked on custom size, it would never let me get the right size. It did get me frustrated, but I took a breath and researched how to properly do it. I ended up figuring out how to do it and the rest was easy. 

        As I was making my double-page spread, I wanted to make it very bubbly and in a very happy mood for the audience. I decided to do a light rainbow background as it could symbolize peace and new beginnings of having a pet dog. The paw prints in the background were for the magazine to be fun. I was going to do a template from Canva, but I went against it because I wanted to do it from scratch to see what I was capable of doing. I want to advance on doing it without having to rely on a template. To make it seem like a magazine, I added page numbers to the bottom of the page spread to make it seem like a real magazine. 

        The photos I used were original photos of my dog Oreo. I wanted to use two happy photos of Oreo and then one being serious. I chose a serious photo of my dog because it was for the pawsitively protective. This was to help show that dogs can do it all from being happy to serious. The two other photos were to create a happy and lively mood. This is to try to persuade the audience to want to get a dog for their home. 

That is all, thank you!
