This document discusses the development of a double-page magazine spread about animal testing. It describes selecting three appropriate images to convey the message without being too distressing. Fonts were chosen to portray the topic as horrific. The original single-page layout could not fit all the text and images, so a double-page spread was created instead. An image of an animal being tested was included to attract more sympathy than a simpler background image. The final layout uses images, fonts, and text placement professionally to communicate the message effectively.

3.  For my fanzine I decided that I needed to get a few images from the internet on animal testing. When I
looked up images on the subject, I found a lot of images that I couldn’t use. These are the images that I decided to
use because they conveyed the message that I wanted to put across, without it being too distressing. I believe that
these three images will grab peoples attention, they are images that will provoke a reaction and it will be the best
three images to use. I will experiment with the layout of my fanzine layout, and I will make sure that all the images
help to produce a idea of what the article is tying to say.

5. For my fanzine I looked at fonts from DaFont.com. I decided that it would be best to use fonts that show how
horrific the article is. I found these fonts, and I believe that these are the best fonts that I could find that show the
message I want to portray. There were a lot of fonts that were quite similar, so these were just an example of what
I could use. I could use this for any writing that I want in bold, like a drop capital, the headline and any words that
I want people to be drawn to first. I will use these for the page numbers and the date as well because I believe that
if I use these fonts a lot then it will seem more horrific. I believe that its best to use as many of the fonts that I
chose as possible, because it varies the look of the page and it would make people more interested in what the
page has to offer.

8. When I first made my flat plan I decided it would be best to make just a single page, but after trying to put the
article and the images on I decided that I couldn’t fit it all on, so I decided to change and make a double page
spread. These are the two different flat plans that I made for the article. The first one is the one that I made for
the single page, and the second is the one I made for the double. I believe that if I was making a layout for a
broadsheet article I would be able to fit all the information that I wanted to on the one page, but since I am able
to lay out the information and the images the way I wanted to I believe that a double page spread would be better.
I decided that I needed to make the layout of the double page spread different, so that the text works around the
images. I believe that overall the final flat plan that I made works, because I would be able to get all the text in, as
well as having a lot of free space for my background image.

15. This is the development of my double page spread. I believe that by doing a double page spread the layout works better. At
first I tried to get all the information to work on a single page, but after moving stuff around and trying out different layouts, I
couldn’t make this work, so I decided that I needed to make it a double. After deciding this I placed the article on the page. I
kept changing the layout of this, and I finally decided on putting the text to the sides and the bottom of the page, so that I
could fit in an image at the back. When I was deciding on an image for the background, I decided against using an image of an
animal being tested in a lab. I believe that this would be too much for a background and I believe that the image that I chose
works better, because it simply shows where the animals will be tested. At first I used another image of the brands that test on
animals, but I decided after looking at the product finished that I needed at least one image of an animal being tested. I
decided to place this at the bottom right side of the page instead of the other image. I believe that this adds more to the
finished product then the first image, because it will attract more sympathy then the first. Overall I believe that I made my
double page spread to a professional standard because I used aspects like drop capitals and fonts to really get the message of
my article across. I believe that my use of images worked too because they show what the article is about without being too
distressing.
