Ancillary Task - Making + Final Newspaper Double Page Spread

 Here are a few screen shots of different tools and techniques I used to create the first draft of my ancillary task - a newspaper double page spread. I decided to go with this picture as my background as it already had the right hand side out of focus and the word youth appears a couple of times on the leaflets to the left of the picture. Fitting in with the theme and the blur giving me somewhere to write. I decided to add a gausian blur to the right hand side of the photograph and blend it in with the clone stamp tool. This was so that I could add the text on this part of the photograph. I had to decide what colour font would go over the photograph and stand out well enough for it to be read. The below screenshot shows how I used the clone stamp tool in order to get rid of the obvious blur line. 

 This screenshot shows how I used the paragraph tool in order to arrange the layout of my text. This included getting rid of the option to have words hyphenated. I felt that this did not look neat enough and was untidy. I wanted all the words to finish at the end of the sentence rather than be cut off - this would be more appealing to the eye. I also decided to use white as the colour of the font as this was the easiest colour to read on the blurred background. I also kept the same text throughout to keep up the continuity of the page and product. 

This is the final draft product of my ancillary task that I have created. As you can see I have changed my title from the one that I previously worked on. Once it was placed on the page I felt it looked out of place and did not suit the piece of work. I however kept the same font but created a black and white quite traditional looking title. I felt this fitted with the colours in the photograph that I chose for the background.
