The document discusses the layout and design choices for an article about an artist named Chloe White. It describes using a black and white bold title to match the front cover, including one clear image of the subject framed by text, and editing the background slightly for clarity. The questions and answers are organized with bold white font for questions and black for answers to clearly identify the interview format while keeping to the color scheme and avoiding cluttering the page.

1. 1 – I used the title of “exclusive interview” in my double page spread as this is what I said about the
article in my front cover this way they both match and make more sense. I chose black and white
bold font for this as it stands out and matches the rest of the page. I used these colours as my article
is about the artist “Chloe White” therefore the white is representative of her name. I have placed
the title in the top left hand corner as straight away you realise what this article is going to be about.
The text is also easy to read as it is quite plain and the background doesn’t take away from it.
2- I only wanted to use one image in my article as I felt another one would crowd the page too much
and make it look messy. I placed the image of my classmate, Chloe Whittle to the bottom right hand
corner and had my text framing it to the left. The image works well as it left me enough space to put
my whole article in using its natural background. Not much editing was needed as the image was
quite clear and bright already, although I did change the colours slightly using the brightness and
contrast tool on Adobe Photoshop. I also feathered the image around its left hand side as it made it
easier to read the text that overlapped it slightly. The feathering also makes the edges less harsh and
the image overall more natural looking.

2. 3 – The background I have used is the one that was on the original picture, the only editing I have
done to it is again using the brightness and contrast tool on Photoshop and also using the cloning
tool to get rid of a small piece of red cotton that was on the back of the wall in the Photography
Studio I used for my images that I didn’t see at the time the images were taken. The background is
plain yet matches the theme of my magazine which is good. It plainness means it’s not going to take
away from the image I have used or the text that is still clear to read. The white and black text looks
good against the grey background also.
4 – My articles are clearly set out and organised which makes them much clearer to read and follow.
The questions are all set out in a white bold font, and the answers are in the black font which quickly
identifies itself to the reader as the interviewer and interviewee. The colours of the font match the
title which keeps to my chosen colour scheme. Because they are all set out clearly I find that the text
doesn’t look to much on the page and it looks inviting to read.
