Construction Process & Reflections - Double Page Spread

In terms of imagery, I wanted photographs that could easily be associated with the article featured in my double spread, in order to follow conventions as well as show that there is a clear connection present. In order to receive the content for my article, I emailed the famous author, Ruth Saberton, a list of questions containing various different content in regards to her work and lifestyle. After receiving a thoroughly detailed response from Ruth, I condensed the information down that I thought would be most relevant and beneficial to my article. I wanted to include information relating to one of Ruth's recent and famous books, The Letter, hence why I created my title based upon this.

When creating my double page spread I also tried to follow genre conventions, as well as considering areas such as the mid line. I wanted my double page spread to be equal in terms of images and text, as I didn't want to overload them with too much information, or present too many images onto my DPS.
