Preliminary Final Spread


Here is a inital draft of my final spread to discuss with Tammy. Im worried the illustrations seem too repetative but at the same time I didn't want to introduce too many elements as the jewellery itself has alot going on so the pages could end up looking too busy. I am generally pleased with the layout and think it is compatible with the style of Amelias but think i need a fresh optinion on whether the illusrations are too much.

In Amelias they have different symbols representing each member of the team when credited, which I have copied as they are consistent throughout each shoot and each issue, for example: 'photographer * Charlie Whiteway'. My mum did the nails for the shoot as she is a trained nail technician (as opposed to Farah doing them) so i have found a new symbol to represent her: 'nails + Rachel Tremlett'.

As i only used 2 outfits for the shoot in the end, and these were very simple, the credits on each page look bare, especially as some only say 'leotard from H&M', which isn't a problem but led me to think about coming up with a name for each piece. My starting point has been the colours/prints used in the pieces. In order of spread: Polka Blush, Burnt Viola, Aqua Dotty, Mustard Blush, Cerise Sea.
