NA14: Screenshots from ancillary tasks with feedback

My Double Page Spread Article:

I first added my main image on the left hand page of my article and filled the right page with just a full white layer. I did this so i could start piecing together my article around my main image.

I then decided to add the other half of the main image onto my right page as it made a very nice background image. To give this a faded effect I turned the opacity down to 14%. I felt that this needed a faded effect as it connoted the story told in the article and the documentary.

I then added three brown shapes over my background image. I did this because they would form my text boxes. This connotes and represents styles used in professional publications such as FourFourTwo and WorldSoccer magazines. 

I then added my main article text and title into the brown shapes that I had created. I had left certain room in my right rectangle for a secondary image to go into. This will make my main image stand out more and my secondary image may be recognisable to certain viewers as it will be of his playing days.

I then added the words 'Life After Football" into the top corners of my double page spread. This connotes TV listings magazines as they tend to use the name of the tv show that they are talking about in the top corners of this article. I also added this as it was just another professional touch I felt my article required.

I then added in my secondary image of my star vehicle from his playing days. This filled up gaps in my article and also made both my text and main image more significant. I also added in a small subtitle of who the interview is by. I did this as it is again another professional connotation of a standard magazine. 

I finally tried a new idea by adding and black and white image of my star vehicle in this playing days. I did this as it blends with the grey of my main image and it also shows that his playing career is over but his coaching career is his future. 

Advertising Poster:

I firstly added my background image of my star vehicle playing recently. This shows that he is still playing at amateur level and it makes a very good background image. 

I then added my main image on top of my background image with the opacity turned down to 80%. This connotes with the rest of my practical work because it is faded and shows that he is looking back into his past inside this documentary.

I then added a black bottom banner which is where I shall add all of information such as dates times and the television station that my documentary will be broadcasted upon. I feel that my poster would not be effective if I just added the title of this documentary over the middle or top of my image. 

I then added my channel logo on the far left of my bottom banner of my poster. By doing this, I am clearly displaying the links between my documentary and Channel 5 which is where my documentary shall be screened. If I only typed the channel name or number, audiences may get confused as they may only recognise the channel via its logo.  

I finally added the title of my documentary as well as its date and title. I feel it adds a simplistic but dramatic tone to my documentary. I therefore reduced the opacity of my bottom bar which both made my text and logo stand out whilst still being able to see the full image go both my main and background images.
