Prelim of Double page spread

So this is my first ever double page spread. I have used the article that I have previously posted on my blog and used pixlr to create the double page spread. It was quite easy to use however some of my writing you can not see and also it is not in line which makes it look less professional. I did want to put the pull quote in the middle of the text however not all of the text would fit and it would then go onto the picture of The wombats which would of made the text less readable. I used a white background first then added a picture of The Wombats which I found on google images, then as I wanted the magazine to be quite vintage looking I found an effect to make the whole page look as though it had in stains on it. I really like this effect and I shall ask people who contribute to my questionnaire about this as I would like to here some feedback. I would defiantly change the pull quote as it is not really indie and also I think it would have to be WERE not WAS which was a big mistake! Also it did take me a couple of attempts at creating the black and white text as I had to do each word separately and then put them together however I do think it looks good. I have changed the pull quote which you can see underneath the post! In addition I do like the font which is 'aaargh' as I think it looks a bit more polished and it makes the words clearer. I could change the picture to the other side and see how it works that way to play around with it and change it, however the next double page spread I will create will be my my first draft of my prelim so I shall see using my feedback which way the image should be.
