Media screenshots

1. In Adobe InDesign, I opened an A3 blank document for my double page
spread for the listings magazine.

2. I decided to name the Documentary “Road to Acceptance”
after the song of the same name by Green Day. Therefore I
used the lyric “We’re all the same” from the song as the title
of my article. Below my Headline, I used a strapline that leaves
the readers wanted to read more. The strapline reveals that
the documentary is about teenagers from music sub-cultures,
which are stereotyped, and how they don’t always live up to
the negative stereotypes they are given. I added in rectangles
behind the strapline in order to make it stand out.
I added in some essential
information for the article – such as
the magazine name, the date, the
website, who the article is written
by and the page numbers.

3. Below the strapline I added in two lines and inbetween those lines I included the documentary title, the date
and time, and the channel it will be aired on. Below this – also in between two lines – I included the article
that I had written and justified the text. The first letter of the article was made bold and in a bigger font as a
drop-caps. I put certain phrases in the article in italics and bold –such as AW Films, Music Nation, Road to
Acceptance, etc. I put the text into two columns –like what the Radio Times do in there articles. I then created
two more columns and put the rest of the article in it – I put these columns on the right side of the page as an
image was going to be put into the centre of the articles.

4. I opened a photograph used in the documentary in Photoshop and cut the
background out of it. I then altered the brightness and contrast settings and then
smoothed out the edges of the image before placing it into my article. I wrapped
the text around my image .

5. After getting audience feedback on my article for the
listings magazine, I found that the background of my
article was too simple. Therefore I decided to use the
same image from my newspaper advert as a background
image for my article.
I changed the size of my image to slightly
smaller than A3 then added a Gaussian Blur
at a radius of 7.0 Pixels to the image to
make it less distracting. Additionally, I
changed the opacity to 75% to also make it
less distracting from the article

6. To make the article link more into the documentary
and the Emo section of it. I decided to change
sections of the article to red. For the headline, I
changed the font of “We’re all the” to a less bold
one and in italics, and changed “Same” to a font in
capitals in red with a black outline to stand out. I
also changed all the lines to red to link to this.
To link the strapline to the new colour palette, I changed
the grey background to the same red colour. I also
changed the font colour to white to stand out.
To make the top right corner less
empty, I added in a common feature
of a red box with the white font of
“This week on TV”.
I organized my layers into folders
to keep them organized.

7. This is my final double
Page spread for the
Listings magazine:
