DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

In Adobe In Design I created

my article. I wanted to

include a Drop Cap at the

start of the interview with my

artist. I did this by selecting

the button at the top left of

my screen underneath the

‘A’.

I then moved across to this

part of the menu at the top

and changed the number

from 0 to 4. This created

my drop cap, which makes

the article clearer and

more professional looking.

DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

To make my magazine article look realistic I

wanted to divide the copy into columns. I did this

by changing the number in that box from 0 to 2.

When creating my grab quote, I wanted to

place it in the middle of my article to make it

stand out to my audience. I did this by

selecting the button with the ball in the

middle of a square.

7. Looking back at your preliminary task, what

do you feel you have learnt in the progression

from it to the full product?

COVERDarker Shadow

around Mast head

makes it stand out

more.

Wider Variety of colours on

‘Chart’.

More Space is filled.

Brighter Background makes

everything stand out more.

The footer text is more

clear with a dark

background and lighter text.

Can identify which is my

main cover line because of

the size and colour of the

text.

Since my preliminary task I have learnt more ways to make the cover and

contents look professional and more realistic.

CONTENTSBright colours to

catch the audiences

eye.

Clearer layout with a

more detailed

description of each

page, not just a grab

quote.

More Pages

mentioned.

Editors not, which

gives an introduction

to the magazine

encouraging the

audience to read on.

One main image

makes the layout

clearer.

More space filled, to

give more things for

the audience to be

interested in.

FEEDBACK

In my questionnaire handed out to 20 people after the making of my magazine, I

asked:

Is my Magazine better than my preliminary task?

Yes…. No….

All 20 of them said my

final ‘Chart’ magazine was

better than my preliminary

task. The reasons they

gave included:

‘bright colours are much

more attractive’

‘The layout on the

contents page is much

clearer’

‘The cover lines on ‘Chart’

make me want to read the

rest of the pages’
