Writing my article

Within my double page spread I will need to have a article that is related to my theme of the double page images. It is headlined 'Enchanted Saltrum'
I am going to be speaking about what its like there, what there is to do and things to eat and drink.
I went with my mum and my Nan to collect information and images to use for my magazine and it was very successful. It helped me get a feel for what I wanted my layout to be.
I want my article to be very easy reading and I would like all audiences  to be able to read it.



What could be better than mistletoe, bauballs and the red glow of Christmas? National Trust have created just the place 'Enchanted Saltrum' from Wednesday 30th November- Sunday 1st January they're opening their gates for all of their visitors.This year you can journey into a fairytale of your own as the rooms have never been dressed for Christmas before. Take a walk into the rabbit hole that Alice is found in or take a peak at sleeping beautys bed- Each room has a differently decorated tree related to the room you're in and the theme of the room.We spoke Linda Pearson the head of functions at Saltrum to ask where the inspiration for this Winter Wonderland came from.

“When creating the idea of Saltrum being enchanted, I wanted to be able to entertain all of the family of all different ages.   I think we have achieved this by having the house as a fairy-tale and we created Winter Courtyard Cafe What makes you feel more festive than settling down to a twilight winter warmer under the stars?  We made the space feel cosy by using blankets and having a large Christmas tree in the center of the courtyard”
The Winter Courtyard Cafe offers many treats ranging from hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows to mulled wine for the adults.You can sit outside under the blankets while sipping your hot drink.Saltrum is open all throughout the year. You can  just walk through the gardens or explore the house as well. National Trust offers memberships for individuals or family's for the year.

Writing my article before hand has helped me be able to see what works well with the images and see how it will fit in. Also, I had to take into consideration the space I had to write my article in and this fitted just perfectly in with the text boxes.

Initial Response To Chosen Brief.

I have selected to do my coursework this year on the brief that requires me to make a extract from a documentary which lasts 5 minutes. I have to create 2 other pieces along side my documentary and these can be; Radio Trailer for the documentary. Double-page spread from a listings magazine focused in the documentary. Newspaper Advertisement for the documentary. For my ancillary tasks I am going to do the double page spread from a listings magazine because I would like to be able to write about my project and give text because people may not fully understand the angle I am going for within my documentary. Also, I think that people would read about it and it would make them watch it. For the second ancillary task I am going to do the newspaper advertisement so I can put my photo-shop skills to use. I will create a film like poster which will need to catch peoples attention and make them want to watch the documentary- I want it to be informative about what the documentary i...

Draft double page spread

Image
After finishing this I have decided that this is the idea that I want to use, I love the theme and the images but there is a lot to change and rearrange with trying to make it look like a proper magazine double page spread. If this was going to be my final piece I know that many things would have to be change such as- The spacing within the text doesn't look profession, it looks scruffy and mismatched. I would make it all square and equal. I would do this to produce a crisp and clear line between the text and the photos.  There no page numbers which would need to be on there as it would not be a proper double page spread- This would need to be added to my final pages.  I would make sure that all of the images looked as if they go together, I may even fade them into the background.
