For the double page spread I (Lauren

Stocks) used InDesign software to create


the two pages based on our group
documentary. The first step I took was to
insert the photo that we had taken and
edited on PhotoShop and place the image
across both pages. I made sure that the
main image was on the right hand side of
the page due to this being a common
convention for magazines. The image has a
grey background and we wanted this so we
could add more colour. I then began to
insert two long rectangles at the top and
bottom of the page because I recognise
that this is a common convention for
magazines to link their pages together. I
used the filler tool to ensure that they were
both the same colour and matched to the
nail colour of the main image. I then typed
out the headline of our article and ensured
that this text would be larger than the rest.
I enlarged the word obsessed because we
wanted it to stand out to our targeted
audience.

After I had placed the article into the columns I


had to proof read it and use the tool bar to get
rid of any hyphenation throughout the text.
This is so that I could check and add or change
anything in the article that I thought would
sound better. I also used the tool that would
make the text move into the next column
when it had got to the end of the column. I
then placed 3 images into the article that I
