Current Progress Four

This stage of the contents was to show what the main stories from the cover include. I began by creating a small rectangle to go behind the title 'Features', I selected the rectangle tool and drew the rectangle to fit the two columned box. I chose white for the rectangle as it helps the title stand out and I believe breaks up the page, as the other titles in black do not have a white background.

Continuing with the black titles for 'Jay Z, Devlin and the top ten albums' I decided to add the page number next to them, these are also 'Jailbird Jenna' and have a drop shadow as do the other page numbers through out the page. The text beneath each title is 'Indy Pimp' and I chose to use red as it can be clearly read and follows the style used on the other column and front cover. I also had to transform the text so it all reached the other side and bottom of the double column, I done this by dragging the text box down and across so the text stretches across the double column. I believe this looks effective as the whole double column has no major blank areas, and therefore enough information can be inserted so the reader can get an insight into what can be seen later on in the magazine.




















To change the font you highlight the text, and select which font desired from the drop down menu. I chose 'Indy Pimp' and also used red.
