The document summarizes steps taken to layout an article in Quark, including inserting the main image and drawing a title text box. Additional elements like a banner, body text in columns, a drop cap, and quote were added using various tools to style and position the elements on the page. A semi-transparent rectangle was drawn over the image to add white text.

1. I used the image tool on Quark to insert the main image,
adjusting the size to fit one half of the page. I then drew out a
text box with the text tool to add the title. I held down shift
and pulled out the text box to give it a stretched out look.
I placed a banner/background for the stand first and the by
line underneath the title to make it stand out. I used the shape
tool to do this and then changed the colour to black and the
font on top of it to white.
To add in the text I typed it up in word and then imported it into a
text box which I drew out to the right size to fit the gap. I changed
the column setting to 3 so that it looked conventional. I highlighted
the first letter ‘W’ and changed the row length to 5 to create the
drop cap. I also changed the colour to red to make it stand out
more.
For the quote with in the body text I drew two narrow rectangles
and selected an option to space the text away from the shape. I
then placed the quote inside the lines and centred the text.
I used the shape tool to draw out a rectangle and then brought
down the opacity so that the white text was more clear on top of
the image.
