John's Not Mad Newspaper Article

For this task I've learned how to use the programme inDesign which is used for editorial design such as newspapers , magazines and posters.

Using this programme I've made a newspaper article on a documentary that I analysed called 'John's Not Mad'. I started with making the headline to do this. I clicked on 'text' and dragged the text box over two guides and the size of the font was 60. I did this because it make it look professional, just like if you were to look at an actual newspaper's headline.

Under the headline I clicked on 'text' again and made a text box and started to describe about what we have learned about the subject of the documentary 'John's Not Mad'.

I then had pulled a couple of quotes carefully selected from my essay and made the font stand out by making the font bold and larger to make the quotes stand out, like if they were in a actual newspaper article.

Next I started to copy and paste 'My John's Not Mad' essay into all the columns of the newspaper guide line and after that I collected some images from Google which relates to the information of the 'John's Not Mad' article. I then made the text go around the pictures by clicking the action 'Text Wrap', which wrapped the text around the image. I then adjusted the images to make sure that there is enough space between the text and the image.

STRENGTHS 

I think that I have made the layout look professional on the first page of newspaper article.

I made the pictures go around the text well with the correct amount of space between the image and the text.

WEAKNESSES

On the second page I could have made the quotes smaller because there is more space between the image and the text.

Another weakness is that I had an image which could have been moved to the next column if the quote was made smaller.

One other weakness was on the second page and some of the images are pixelated.

IMPROVEMENTS

The improvements I would make would be to make the quote smaller on the second page and make sure there is enough space between the image and the text.

Another improvement would be to move the word which is under the picture to the next column.

The final improvement would be to make the pictures on the second page less pixelated.
