31st March - Sessions Work

Today is our last session that we are able to work on computers to edit the articles so today is our deadline for all of the articles to be completed and given to our liaison. As my article has been chosen by quality control to not be within the newspaper but now online, I don't really need to spend anymore time today editing on it and it can wait until the newspaper is finished.

Alie, one of the group members, is not present today and she still needs a lot doing to her article before it can be classed as finished. I have decided that as I don't need to work on my article that I will work to get hers finished while she is not here so that our group can hit the deadline on time.
I started by creating a coloured block behind each heading within the article and also behind the title of the article. I thought that as most of the primary colours were taken from other people within our project, I would use pink so that none of the colours in different articles are the same. This colour also works with the person's opie picture and therefore makes the article as a whole more appealing.
I decided to go through her article making sure that all the text was spelt correctly, the fonts were all right and that the words that were meant to be in italics are in italics. I then went through her text trying to find pull out quotes, there were quotations she had made within her article, which I could then pull out of the text in a large font and therefore it would be something that would get the readers attention.
The finishing touches were then made to add the opie picture of Alie to the bottom of her article, sign it with her name and then to get it reviewed by quality control to make sure that it was all ready to be given to our liaison.
