Mock Up Double Page Spread

This is my second idea for a double page spread. For this plan I decided to do a completley different design. At first I thought about the canvas colour, I didnt want to keep it plain so I went through a range of different colours to finally finish with grey.
Once I found the correct colour I looked for different images to put on the page.I didnt want to go with an image of westlife this time, so i went for another boyband that are a big hit. Take That. I looked for an image that had a similar colour tone to the background colour. Eventually, I found the image I have used. The band members are dressed in greys and blacks which are perfect colours. There was a background on the image but it didnt match the colour of the canvas so I got rid of it on Microsoft Fireworks
The next thing I thought about was the text. I didnt want the text to be a ridiculous colour or font so that it didnt match. So I went for plain white because you can see it and it matches all of the other colours. As for the text about the band (the interview) I thought I would keep them white aswell.
I also had the idea to put a small image related to the article such as a publicity shot or album cover (this is what I chose to put on the plan). I decided to choose an image of the album cover 'The Circus'. I thought I would put it in the corner on the right page underneath the text. I also wanted a small pattern of the right page just like my first plan, so I looked on the internet and finally found the image of the flowers. I really liked this particular image because it was black white and really matched the theme of the plan. I thought the right hand corner looked empty so I decided to put it there. I thought it would overlap the text or the text would overlap the image so it looks effective.
