The first thing I did after positioning the photograph was create the running head, this ensured that my magazine had continuity and that it was clear to the reader which magazine the article belongs to. I also created a stand-first on the right hand side of the page as there would have been no other text on there otherwise. I made it slightly off white so it matches the background and also so it contrasts with the image it is placed on. I also created a heading using the same fonts as I used on the front cover to establish a house style within the magazine. I used the same fonts to create a drop cap and a pull-out quote for the same reasons.
I then created all the text to go in my article by creating an interview style conversation. I used very chatty, colloquial language to ensure I created the friendly mode of address that my demographic desired when I carried out my survey. I used two different colours to make it very clear the difference between the two speakers. I used purple and black font in able to continue the girly, fun house style I created on my front cover and contents page.
