I made a few slight changes to my first draft to produce the final draft for my double page spread. I removed the page number '13' from the left page because I felt that it was not necessary and it did not look very good. I also shifted the text upwards on my article so that the first 4 lines wrapped around the drop cap. I did this because it is conventional for most magazines. I then had to add a bit of text because the top and bottom margins were too big and made the page look less professional.
I also felt that the by-line ('Article by Mimi Yagoub') did not look at the bottom of the article as this was an unusual place to put it on a typical double page spread. I therefore put it with the AP (Associated Press). I also changed the photo credit to Mimi Yagoub because I took the pictures, not 'Getty Pictures'.
Please could you change the text size for the article to 11 point max, maybe 10 point.
ReplyDeleteThis may mean that you have to add a few more questions to fill the page.
This has only become apparent since printing your work.
You can find me Thurs 3.30 or Fri 3.30.
