Block colour on double page spread

On my double page spread I decided to use a block of colour on the page with the photo of my model, this was to break up the two pages so that it was easier to distinguish between them. I decided to use a light grey colour because it fits in with my house theme but it is also not too harsh like red or black which are the other main colours from the colour palette that i have used for my magazine. To do the block of colour I added the rulers onto the page so that I knew where the centre was and then drew a thin line down the centre. I then drew a rectangle shape and then changed the colour fill to the light grey. To finish I used the rubber tool to rub out the line that I drew down the centre.
