Double page spread construction

Firstly i chose an a3 sized page, made is landscape and also added 6 columns to help with the layout of my page.

After i dragged in the image that i was going to use into the indesign document, when scaling up the image to fit the size with out warping the dimension of the photo, i held command and shift at the same time and then enlarging it, after i cropped down the photo by using the arrows you would normally use to scale the photo.

Here is where the text box tool is located on the toolbar at the side.

Here is the first text box i drew for the title in the top right hand corner, i used the same font style to keep the house style the same and strong, i then kept choosing larger sized fonts until i reached a good size which was around 100.

After i chose the font to be white and then i right clicked the text box to bring up some options, i then went down to effects and selected transparency.

From there i chose a 75% transparency giving a cool effect on the title.

After i started adding the bulk of the text, firstly i drew one text box then copy and pasted my text in, in the corner of the text box is a small plus symbol, this allows you to create another text box with the rest of the text in and so on.

After i highlighted all the text and made it size 9, this seemed appropriate as i had a lot of text and large photo as well.

Here is showing how i resized the text boxes so they fitted nicely on the page.

I then moved and resized the two other text boxes in the bottom left hand corner of the page, as they both had white text in i thought it seemed appropriate to put a background behind them which enabled them to be read easier.

Here the box tool is highlighted, this is the tool used to create backgrounds behind the text, simply just draw a box like the text box tool and choose which colour is desired.

I made the whole box black to start with and then moved it back behind the text.

after i went into the effects and changed the transparency to 50%, which enable to reader to still be able to see the image behind and allowing them to still be able to read the text.

Here is the finished product.
