  This first stepwas done after taking my photography on the 3rd of February. Firstly I set up my Quark document to have facing pages and three columns on each page. This is so that it would be set out like a real double page spread article. To start the production of it, I added the images to the pages. I knew how I was going to set them out through my plan so I made the main image large across the left hand side and three smaller images on the right all next to each other. This step was done on the lessons of the 6th and 9th of February.I then added my headlines, websites and the page numbers with the name of the magazine next to them. To add the headline over the main image I made the font white so that it was visible and I used the font Bronx bystreets in size 48pt. For the other part of the headline on the right hand side page I used the font Plane crash at size 44pt. I added the website to the left hand corner of the page and the right hand corner. On the left I had to make it white so it was still visible on top of the image and on the right I kept it black. I did this aswell with the page numbers and magazine name next to it. For the website I used the font bronx bystreets at size 11pt. For the page numbers with magazine name next to them I used the font bronx bystreets at size 10pt.

  This step ofconstruction was done on the 14th of February. I added four thick lines going across the right hand page. I made them bright green. I put them there so the right hand side of the page would look more filled as I was worried it would appear empty and boring. I also added them and made them green because I wanted the double page spread to continue with the green house style that is occurring throughout my products. This step was done on the 19th of February. I then added the interview that I conducted to the right hand side page. I did this interview and it fit equally into the three columns. For the questions that I asked I put these in a slightly more bold font of bronx bystreets at size 10pt and then the answer to the question in the font Arial at 9size pt. I did this because I wanted the question and answer to be clearly defined on the interview and it also made the text look better and more interesting. I also added a pull-quote in the middle of the interview. This is where you take a quote from what the interviewed has said and you make it stand out above the other text. I did this and made the quote in the font Plane crash at size 12pt in a green colour, to stand out as a successful pull quote and also continue with the house style of my products and also the colour the scheme of the double page spread itself.

  I did thispart of construction on the 22nd of February. I then added a stand first which included a drop capital. The standfirst is there to introduce what the article is going to be about and it did this for me. I placed it just above the article and below the second headline. I used the font Bronx bystreets in size 13pt for this. I did this because the stand first needs to stand out and be larger than the interview if it is to follow codes and conventions. I also added the captions to the images just underneath them in a small font size of 9pt in Arial. I did this part of construction on the 25th of February. I included a drop capital to the standfirst. I did this because it follows codes and conventions and in my opinion makes the text look better and more interesting as it adds an other dynamic to it. I added the drop capital by making a text box close to the standfirst and writing the first letter of the standfirst into this text box instead of the standfirst text box and I made the letter in a bigger font still bronx bystreets though but the size was 48pt.
