1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 7. Looking back at your preliminary task, what
do you feel you have learnt in the progression
from it to the full product?

4. Darker Shadow
COVER 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.

5. Bright colours to
CONTENTS 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.

6. 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? All 20 of them said my
Yes…. No…. 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’
