magazine article

To the right is our first attempt of the first page for our double page magazine article.our first obvious thought was to use the colours red, yellow and green as use it as our backround so that we can include the Reggae Reggae sauce backround and then like every other magazine article have the interview text going down the page in colums, with a title at the top and pictures inserted throughout the text. After we analysed this article Amir and i both though that it was so predictiable and boring that we could easily do somehting better in order to make it stand out. So we completely scrapped this idea and started from the beginging.

Using microsoft publisher we inserted the picture of the money tree bottle into the middle of the page and worked around it. we had displayed pull quote questions in those colours around the artile and created a title whihc was bold but simple. below is a copy of our final article:
