My Final Media Product: Fusion Magazine

Final Double Page Spread

Further Development of DPS

  

Here are my developments of my double page so far I have:

• Edited the image using Photoshop
• Rewritten the interview to make it more like a conversation
• Inserted a 'stand first'
• Constructed a clear organised layout 
• Included many pieces of page furniture such as by-lines, folios & slugs
• Inserted a drop cap letter at the start of the interview
• Placed 2 controversial quotes: one in the corner of the page, one in the middle of the article 

This is my layout plan that I have constructed using Fireworks. I have done this by using guides and I have positioned them using the position tool which makes sure they are evenly spaced. I have also ensured when I construct it the text won't get to close to the edge which is called guttering, so I have placed guides about 20 pixels away from the edge on each side. This is also a convention of any magazine which I have followed as I think it will make my product looks more realistic and professional. 

These are further developments to my double page spread. I reorganised the layout and also added in a coloured background. By doing this I am following my colour scheme and house style throughout my media product to ensure it is consistent.

Final Contents Page

Changes to Contents Page

These are four images of my development for my contents page. I have shown the stages I have gone through to achieve my final product. I have shown a print-screen of how I used my guides and grid to help me position text and adjust the layout for my contents page.

Double Page Spread Development: First Stages

Here are 2 visual images of the first stages of my double page spread. I have added in the main image and the body of text. I have developed a clear layout with the use of a grid and guides to help me evenly space my work. I have kept the same house style and font as my other two media products.
