Magazine Double Page Spread Progression

I decided to edit the photo so that it looked like the model was controlling lightning again looking powerful, I also put a grey box which I made slightly transparent where I was planning to put my article

This is the double page spread image I have chosen. I wanted to get across the image of power and so showed him creating a ball of energy. I also edited out the background to make it cleaner.

However I didnt like the box and so edited it out and just out the article ontop of the image. I also added the article title using the same font and a quote from the article to catch the readers eye.

However I didnt like the lightning or the grass as it didnt go with my over all style. So I removed the grass and background completely and made the background white to match my front cover. I also then replaced the lightning with fire and had it curve around my article so that the text became an element of the image

I felt the white was too plain so added a white brick wall background and a concrete floor as well as a shadow to give the image depth.

I added a lighting effect to the model as it had a blueish tinge to show the warmth of light
