How I Made My Feature Article

To start my feature article, i first edited my picture and pasted it into fireworks. My feature photo is placed in the top right corner, this takes up half of an A4 page as my feature will be a double page spread.

Using the eye dropper tool I used the colour of my artists face and made this the background so it links back to the image.

I added my title using the text icon, after i decided on where to place the title, i again used the eye dropper tool to use the white logo of the artists hat to make it my official chosen colour for my title.

Using the text tool i added my text and put them into columns, the size of my text is 14. To link back to my urban target audience I changed the font to HOBO STD, so the magazine does not look like an ordinary NME magazine or Q magazine, i followed the conventions of urban magazines such as Vibe and XXL. I also moved the texts in the last 2 columns and the reason for this is so that i can place quotation from the artist into that chosen spot.

When i added a Quotation i had to make a few more adjustments and shifted my text so it fitted into my article; I made my quotation white linking back to the white logo of my artist’s hat and the title of this feature article.
