InDesign was used to create the double page spread and arrange images and text according to the draft layout. It allowed the use of consistent house colors and text columns that fit well within the given areas. Photoshop was used to import and manipulate some images, such as isolating subjects from backgrounds using selection tools. The wrap tool in InDesign helped incorporate images to represent topics and add visual interest by wrapping text around them to create depth.

1. DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD
DEVELOPMENT

2. ADOBE INDESIGN
We created our double
page spread using InDesign.
This allowed us to import
our images and text and
arranged them in a
structured layout following
our draft. It also allowed us
to use our house colours
throughout with ease as we
could save the swatch and
make sure the same tone
was used repeatedly
The columns tool allowed
us to create even text
columns that fitted the
given areas and make our
text clear and easy to read.
The ruler guides and snap to
gird tools allowed us to
successfully import the
different factors and achieve
a sharp, clear layout that
follows magazine
conventions and therefore is
a strong product.

3. ADOBE PHOTOSHOP
We imported some of the images
taken from our documentary into
Photoshop therefore we could use
the skills we had developed from
last year to manipulate and isolate
the subject from the background we
could easily integrate it into our
article. With the image shown, we
flipped the canvas and then created
a selection with the magnetic lasso
tool which allowed us to select
inverse and remove the background,
therefore isolating the subject so
the text could be wrapped around it.

5. WRAP AROUND TEXT
One very useful feature of
InDesign that we learnt how
to use to our advantage was
the wrap tool. This allowed
us to naturally incorporate
images which helped to
represent the topic and
genre and also add more
interest to the page. This
also allowed us to arrange
images to create depth and
add a grab quote.
