This workshop introduced how to create spreads and how to create an effective spread and the importance of keeping a theme or aesthetic through out the spread and spreads following. I began by making a single page document in InDesign then adding a page to make 2 pages next to each other which is then a ‘spread’. I began recreating this spread by David Wild from Rolling Stone on Alanis Morissette.
The spread has a muted colour palette with a more vivid burnt orange hue in the photography which makes it stand out and emphasises it as the focal point. The colours work well together and can be seen throughout the whole spread which makes it effective because then it gives it a consistent theme and feeling towards the spread as a whole. Due to all of the typography being the same font and the colours all being nearly the same colour this continues this feeling of consistency, however the higgledy-piggledy placing and sizing of the text brings some more depth and excitement to the spread.
