Amendments Following Final Feedback
After collecting my final feedback, I had approximately 7 days to make any amendments to my magazine front cover and double page spread. As I had enough time, I chose to change the layout of my double page spread and to use another photograph and re-arrange the text on the page. Due to the timing conditions I had to do this quickly and effectively, however I needed the final piece to look even more professional than the first DPS. I decided not to change my front cover as I found that had the effect I wanted and had the professional finish and a lot of time and effort was put into the design and final product therefore I chose to leave that as it was.
I started with a new, blank inDesign document and placed my new main image onto the document and placed it on the left hand side of the page spread across the whole document so the text would look like it was just sitting ontop of the image. I next copied the full body of my article onto the new document and shuffled it around. I decided to use the text wrap tool so that the text of the article would wrap around the side of the model in the photograph so it looked more professional and edgy, I found that this worked successfully. I added a new title onto the page and a new subtitle and shuffled them so they all sat nicely together on the page above the article text. Once I was happy with this layout, I tried to add on the breakout box I had included in the other DPS, however I found there was not enough room to add this professionally therefore I chose not to include it. This was a big risk to take however I feel I made the right decision. The final DPS is shown below, and I am very happy with the results and finish of the whole of my magazine.
