After I had placed another photo into the bottom left of the page I 'placed' my article into the double page to see the spacial area I had to work with. As the main photo is large and takes two columns not all of my text would fit on the pages, this caused me to delete the smaller picture found in the bottom left so that I could fit all of my interview on the page. At first I was rather hesitant to do so but once the text was in place I believed the double page looked more organised and had a nice flow to it.
Once I had arranged the text into suitable columns I then had the freedom to choose the font and colour. I wanted to continue the house style by using red, black and white colour text, due to having a black background I decided to use red for the question asked, and white for the response. To change the colour of the text you simply highlight the desired text, select 'swatches' and then the colour you want, which is done by creating a swatch first and saving it to the swatches tab.
Once the colours had been chosen and applied, I decided to find a suitable font for the text, I wanted to use a bold font for the questions, and a simple font for the answers. The bold font used for the questions is effective as it highlights which are questions and stands out from the black background, which will hopefully catch the readers eye. I chose to use 'Arial' for the answers, as it is very easy to read, and can be seen as a different person talking as it is in white and looks totally different to the bold, red text used for questions. For the Introduction and conclusion to the interview I used the font 'Santa Fe LET', I used this font for the second line of the title and believe it is original, and therefore an effective text to introduce the reader to the article and to conclude the article.
I also decided to add a 'Pull quote' to the article, this is the text saying "Now I earn out of what I was born to do", I decided to add this as it shows the reader a quick insight into what is in the article, as it is a larger and different font to the rest of the text. The font used for this is 'Jailbird Jenna', which I have used through-out the magazine for various parts of text. I wanted to use a different font for this pull quote as it has to stand out from the rest of the text to work in attracting the reader.
