TWO PAGE SPREAD DESIGN 1
Two page spread design 1: This is my first desing concept I cam up with, this concept is very similar to the layout the 'Pirates of The Caribbean' two page spread used. This concept would feature a full bleed image on the right side of the page of my subject where the left would contain more information revolving around my subject and the project I had been involved in.
Two page spread design 1 pg2: This is the second part of my two page spread design. As the first part contained a huge full bleed image for visual satisfaction, this side would contain alot more information relevant to the subject and project.
TWO PAGE SPREAD DESIGN 2
Two page spread design 2: This is the first double page spread of my second design, this double page spread is very similar to the original design I can up with for the first desing only this time with the added addition of a logo. I decided to create a logo for the project as If I was to make this outside of my course I love to print stickers, flyers and postcards covered with my logo and tag them around Bristol.
Two page spread design 2 pg2: This is the second page for my two page spread, this page contains more photos in precurious locations. I decided to do this as the subject of my magazine is busking which it's self is pretty precarious and out there. I don't want some boring magazine which is too text heavy to show busking which is very visual and audible.
Proposal for using my final design
I want this piece to used as both a form of media to be read by younger generations (aged 18-25) who will be interested in something created by someone in their generation. I don’t want this to be anything revolutionary but for sure want to get the topic of busking on peoples minds and try to spread the idea of the project “everyday people” I hope people can read my encounter with an everyday person that the reader may never have heard of otherwise, then want them to have a feeling of just wanted to meet someone who they may notice everyday but doesn’t pay them any attention. I’d like this to be a relevant piece in the Bristol area as the subject off the film, Georgia, is from Bristol and performs around the city. If this could become a trend that would be my top goal from creating this film.
The products potential market place
My videos and page designs impact could be huge using the resources available to me. To start with Bristol has it’s own sub Reddit that I can use to promote my film and page spread. This will ensure that my film and page design will instantly reach a massive amount of people who are either in Bristol or follow what is happening in Bristol. As well as the sub Reddit I could also use the big issue, they look for pieces to put into their magazine and my two page spread would be perfect for that. I can get in contact with big issue Bristol and arrange an interview about putting my two page spread in their magazine. It will be extra promotion for me as well as look good for Big issue to partner with smaller creators.

Legal and Ethical Considerations
Legal considerations: In any of my film or print I dont want any unessasery branding ect as I don't want any copyright claims, this goes for my film and music as well, I made sure all the music used in my film was recorded life by who ever was playing in order to prove that it is in fact them and not a downloaded song.
Ethical Consideration: Obviously I am working with a 16 year old so I want to portray her in the best possible way and not give any inccorect or personal information away in the print.
My Final Complete Two Page Spread
This is my final design for my first page of the two page spread. The first thing that I did was add the banner across the top of the page, as the film is about a busker from Bristol I wanted to add pictures I have taken of Bristol in the past. The first use of text was an introduction to Georgia, the reason I wanted to make the text an introduction to a person rather than the project is because I feel like it gives it a more human feel and it's instantly relatable, you want to find out more about what Georgia has done to be placed in a magazine spread!
A well as having an introduction the Georgia as a person and performer. I also added a small taste of the interview in a text form. I did this as I believe is is a good way to overlap existing forms of media as well as enticing the readers to watch the documentary made, that small piece of text will hopefully leave the reader wanting more.
The second page to my spread contains social media elements that the reader can get involved with, my thoughts were if they are sat somewhere reading my piece they can whip their phones out and check the social media on this page. First of all I show them where they can find the video to watch as after reading or evening between reading my piece listening and watching it will really be a nice element to add. As well as that I've added the facebook page of a Busking community that helped me out when I got in contact with them and have me useful information about buskers and busking. I think that again this adds a human element to the piece, the reader is already acquainted with Georgia through text video and audio, now they can find more buskers and performers and learn about them.
Page 2
This is my second page of my two page spread, on this page I dedicated one side to the 'project' explaining what it is and why I chose to focus on busking for it. I believe it is important to give some of the reader's context as I believe this can spark a small movement, the thought of everyday people might linger in some people's minds. As well as one text heavy page I wanted one that was more visually heavy, I was originally going to go for a full bleed image but felt it didn't feel right when I put it on the page. So instead of that I decided to create a small collage of Georgia so give here some lime light in the print based media as well. This works as when the reader reads the text to the left they'll be relaxed by the images to the right instead of getting anxious that there is more to read after. Underneath the images I put a special thanks to Georgia for being the subject of this piece and then added social media links for the readers to follow if they want.
Design Choices
My Logo
The reason I wanted to add a logo is because I was doing a piece on Busking which made me want to create and add something I had made myself. I wanted to create something for the soul purpose of dong a piece on busking. The logo rally adds a proffesional creative pop to the piece and pulls it together.
Text Font used
I used the Arial font for my Magezine as I use it on my website for everything and wanted to keep a consitant house style through all my work. The reason I choose this text is it has a round non sharp look it yet it still serves for proffesional purposes.
