The Making of my Double-Page-Spread (Main)

Firstly, I added the picture to my double-page-spread because I had to position the text around the picture.














I then added my heading and standfirst quickly summing up what the article is about.














Next, I added the article itself. I then added indents at the start of each paragraph, a drop-capital at the beginning of the article and made the whole of the first paragraph bold.














I finally took a quote from the article and made it larger to break the article up.

The Making of my Contents Page (Main)

I started by adding the heading of the page. I kept the same colour as i used on the title for my front cover.



















I then added the contents that is in my magazine including headings and page numbers.




















Next, I added the photos to my contents page along with the corresponding page numbers that anchor the pictures to the text.



















After that I added subscription information and a picture of my front cover.



















Finally, I added my magazine title and a competition advert at the bottom.
