week 3 - monitoring blog

This week on my front cover, I added  more font, using the font tool. I changed the size and colour by using the tools that are located on the top of the page when the text is highlighted. Some text I rotated so it looks more effective and it could represent the state of mind of my target audience of the age 16-19. I used the colours blue and pink so they have a link with the title. I chose the other bright colours such as yellow and white as they stand out compared to the background. Yellow, just as well as orange could indicate to happiness, joy and energy as it’s the colour of sunshine. It could also be associated with cheerfulness. Yellow can also be seen as an unstable and spontaneous colour. White associates with goodness and innocence and considered to be the colour of perfection. White can also mean successfulness, cleanliness and purity. It’s thought of as a cold or cool colour because of snow.



This week on InDesign, I added my text by going on to 'file' then 'place' and found my document with my article write up in. I then clicked on each box to add text in it. The text continued as I went into each box, carrying on with no missing text problems. I then changed some of the text colour by clicking on 'colour fill' and selecting the same colour as the models top and the title so they all have a link. I added a Drop cap to assist my target audience on where to start reading. The columns are set out also to assist the audience on where to read.
