WEEK 13
Last Changes, Putting it all Together & Milestone
- In charge of the putting the final magazine together
- Spent all week making changes and tweaking
- Things I Made Consistent:
- Maximum 2 images per spread
- Headings only on full bleed pages
- Headings either right or left aligned (not centred)
- Each individual heading text is only one size (on main pages)
- No pages with white background
- No plain colour background without texture/part of an image
- Linked all related text boxes
- Added Arkie heading tags to appropriate pages
- Arkie heading tags only on full bleed pages (left)
- Consistent spacing between Heading, Byline etc.
- Added more angled quotes to tie in with Stacey’s
- Removed hexagons from Events page because there are no other hexagons in the magazine making it disjointed
- Changed a few images because they were too low resolution :(
- Image spans either single or double page ( e.g. not 1 1/2 pages)
- No deck on 2 page articles
- All Headings are white
WEEK 14
