I wanted to have a clear white background to the image as I thought that it would fit in with the background of my DPS better.Therefore I had to touch up some of the area's that had shadows or were slightly discoulered.
I then began to create my double page spread. I began with the header so that I could figure out where I wanted everything to be placed in relation to this. As I wanted my article to be in sections inside of boxes I had to create these boxes and write my article in to the boxes. I also began to add the images into the double page spread so I could see how these were going to fit with the rest of the article.
I continued placing the boxes in and played around with where I would place them on the page so that they looked good but were also in a order that made sense. I also continued to place the images in and play around with where they would all be placed. I also added the summary paragraph of my article as well as the kicker and introduction. Now that I had all of the main pieces onto my page I knew that I would be able to play about with where they were going to be placed.
This was the first placing I tried. However, I thought that it looked a bit too messy and jumbled up. There was no clear order to it and therefore I knew that this would make it difficult to read for my target audience and this was not something that I wanted for my article.
I then tried this arrangement. I preffered it to my first attempt however I did not think that this was still the perfect arrangement. The boxes still looked out of place. However, I did like the placing of the images and therefore I kept these images in a similair place to these. I also added my breakout box to the bottom corner, which includes contact numbers and websites my target audience can look at or speak to in order to get help on the topic I am discussing in my article.
At the end of the week, I had this arrangement. I very much preffered the straight boxes that were all in line. I thought it looked more proffessional and would ensure that it was easy to read and understand for my target audience. However, I do think that there is still quite a bit of white spacing and so there is some re-arranging and adding that I need to do. For example, I wish to place some of the text inside of a coloured box to make it stand out more and to brighten the page up slightly.
