For my DPSI used the frame tool and placed the image I was using there. The image didn't fit the way I wanted so I fitted it to frame and dragged it into the position I wanted it to be. I placed the titles I made on illustrator onto my DPS. I then pasted the article I wrote onto the DPS.
At the beginning I placed the picture only on one side of the page and for the other side of the page I made it a solid colour similar to the background of the photograph that I took. Although the layout looked nice I realised that the other page did not look right and it looked slightly off. Furthermore I did not include page numbers on the DPS.
I later tried to add another picture on the other side of the page to make it look better and less off, however it still did not look right. I also designed a masthead on illustrator and had initially used it for my DPS however it did not fit the theme of the article and made it look less professional so I removed it from my DPS. At the time I did not finish writing my article so I did not place the article on my DPS.
I highlighted the first letter of my article and clicked the reversed P and added lines to the drop cap option. I also used the line tool to underline my headings and pull quote, to add more colour to my DPS.
On the final version of my DPS I changed the font of the titles and the text so that I did not use too many different fonts in my magazine. I also moved the title of the article further up to give the article more space and I changed some of the questions and answers to the article to make it more casual and less formal. I added the red underline under the title and the pull quote to make them stand out more.
