This week consisted of continuing to work on my Eat Well. Stay Well. double page spread, as I have now inserted my written article into it I have been able to add the finishing touches to it. To ensure that the double page spread follows the house style which matches with my front cover and contents page, I have chosen to highlight particular areas of my article using the same colour. This therefore makes it appear more professional. Due to difficulties finding and using a tool which would simply highlight chosen text, I had to create individual boxes to fit the chosen words in my article, I then sent these boxes to the back so that the text was the more dominant feature out of the two. Below is a screen shot of the current stage I am at on this DPS, which shows that all that needs to be added to make this page complete is text in the breakout box and page numbers. I am very pleased with the current appearance and progress I have made this week on this DPS.
As well as continuing working on this article, I began to have second thoughts about my contents page as I felt it didn't look professional and that it didn't highlight my designing abilities. For this reason I chose to redesign my contents page starting from scratch, however still using similar features from the previous attempt. Below are two screen shots, one of my old contents page and one of my current one. I intend to use images from different articles rather than just from one article as this will be more useful to the audience as it will give them an idea and sneak preview of what they can expect to see.
As the deadline is soon approaching, I have chosen to use time in the half term holiday to go into college to continue working on my production as I feel this will make me feel more confident and less stressed therefore leaving me in a better position for finishing the production of my magazine to begin the evaluation stage.
I believe my client would be very impressed with the production as it is clear that I am readily prepared with what I intend on doing with my time to ensure that the magazine for publication in time.
