2. Creating my title; Firstly I created my title using a font I downloaded off of a free font site called ‘Da Font.’ I used this for the 3 main words ‘Girl’ ‘Broken’ and ‘Mirror’. I then used a text called Freestyle Script. I then turned the word ‘The’ sideways as I thought this would make the text look more like the band logo.
3. Writing the interview; Next I wrote my interview. I made the boxes with a 3mm gap in between. When writing it I simply used Arial in a size 12 however I will change this later. I used a red coloured font but I will change this when I have done the rest of my formatting.
4. Adding in the photographs; Next I added some photos using the picture content tool which is highlighted in this picture. I wanted one to be larger and looked like it is off a photo shoot and two individual photos which worked well. I then used 3 smaller photos which look more ‘homemade’ which I think adds a personal feel to the article.
5. Adding a caption; Next I added a caption for my photographs to explain more about them and make the magazine look more proffesional. I used Arial 14pt and used a black font as this showed up best.
6. Captions Completed; I added captions to all my photos again, to give more information about them. I used Arial font in 14pt and 12pt again using the black font colour.
7. Adding a quote to my page; Next I added a quote into my double page spread which is highlighted in red above. I made the quote marks bigger and bolder using baseline shift to make the fact it’s a quote stand out more.
8. Changing colour; I then changed the colour of the quote to white as I wanted it to fit in with my colour of white, red and black. I kept the quote marks red as I thought this would fit in better.
9. Adding shadow; After experimenting with the three main colours I decided that my quote would look better with the text in red and the white in quote marks. I then changed the font from Arial to Corbel and added a shadow to the red text. Both the columns are 98mm wide with a 3mm gap inbetween.
10. Formatting the text; Finally I decided to edit the text to make it look more interesting. I still stuck to my red, white and black colour scheme so I decided to make the opening paragraph and questions white and the answers red. I used the font ‘corbel’ and used size 14pt for the questions and 12pt for the rest.
