Double page spread - Stage 1

This is my initial stage in the double page spread process. I have added a large mid shot image which is the main focus of the page. As the model is female, I have done all I can to draw away the girly, or fashion aspect of the model and bring out a rock style. I have done this by getting her to stare into the camera and bare her teeth. Her body is slouched and in a casual, oppose to a "posey" position. This gives a more laid back, or even aggressive feel to the page which matches the genre and challenges the conventions. I have minimised erasing slight imperfections such as freckles, because I feel this brings a more gritty and realistic style to the page rather than it being mistaken for glamourous. I have used brightly coloured mis en scene such as flourescent, eye cathing pink make up and clothing which I have edited to stand out as much as possible. This brings away the dullness of the page and stops the model blending in with the background. It also contrasts with the realistic style I have tried to create. The background is coloured black as I found the general pattern for double page spreads was a one colour wash, and black was the most suited colour as it creates a sense of mystery and darkness. I have added a catchy title- in a suitable language for the audience- in bold capitial text for maximum attraction.
