1st Attempt at listings magazine layout - Ancillary Task

For our ancillary task we must individually create a magazine double spread based upon our documetary about the riots. This first attempt was created on Microsoft Publisher and was very much a starting block as I intend to use this and my research to make a high quality professional magazine spread. I have Adobe inDesign at home and will be learning to use that to produce the best magazine article I can.

It is helpful to have such software at home because there are many features and layouts which are used in magazines sold in shops everywhere.

One thing that came out of the interview with the Chief Superintendent was that once the report on the riots has been published they will send us an electronic copy of it. Within the report there are quotes and accounts of events from senior officers which can be used in the article.



I quite like the spread below, especially the large picture on one side of the spread but this leaves less room for the text in the article and therefore I will most likely not produce my final article in this style. I will try to have a large picture like below but incorporate it within the text a bit more therefore not losing much space for content.
