Product Write Up - 3

Last Week, I got really close to finishing my front cover for my final product. With some constructive criticism from Mark i was able to change my sell lines and also some of the text to make the front cover seem not as full up with information. I still do have to change them around slightly so that they don't look out of place and that they have been dotted around the page at random. I can do this by using the guide lines to place each sell line so that they have an equal space between them. These took longer than expected to sort out because I had created them and positioned them but I was told about different techniques about how to make some sell lines look more effective if they are changed slightly as It means the reader won't get bored of the repetitive fonts and colours. In InDesign, I learned about the different tools like the frame tool. This would be helpful when I come to put my photo into InDesign but I have to redo my photo shoot because The photos were taken landscape and all the photos are from the waist upwards.

When I read back my article I thought that it flowed well and was easy to read. I did however think that my countdown article on the far right was too long and had too much information in it so I had to read over it again and take out sections of some to make sure I had more space for a photo. I also added a quote insert into my article but I think that there is too much white space around it. This can be fixed by using the text wrap tool and manually choosing where the text wrap will go. I am however happy with the header of my DPS because it is a play on words.
