Work at home - Cutting down the article

Today I did some work at home, and Matt L and I managed to cut down our article so it all fitted onto one A3 page. I felt there was some good information and useful stuff cut out but we had to cut it down due to the article fitting in the newspaper. Below you can see me begin to cut down the article in pages. I have also taken screen grabs while working for evidence.

Cutting down the text

Here you can see me working with the template and the text in Pages, after opening the article we worked on Friday.

Here you can see me start to cut down some of the information which Matt L and I thought was less essential than the rest, and you can see it is starting to fit all on one page.

Here you can see all of the article now fits on one A4 page which will look the same on an A3 page.

Overall

Baring in mind we still need to add pictures and need to illustrate the article a little more may need to be cut out, nonetheless I think we have done well in keeping the most important bits of information in the article.

Adding images

Matt L and I have also worked on adding some images to the article , which we thought we would have to cut more text out. However, I have managed to add two small images and all of the article still fits on one page, which is good news. Below is the process I took to adding some images to the article.

Here you can see the folder which the images we took ourselves are in. I decided to only use a couple of these because we did not want to cut much more of our article text out.

Here you can see me choosing the images to add to the article from the pictures we took ourselves for our article on Friday.

Here you can see the same process of me choosing images and adding them to the article to see which ones look best.

Here you can see I have added the second picture to the article and resized it so it is little, I have also created an opacity border in the inspector part of pages, so it is not a hard square image in the article for a softer look to the image.

Here you can see the whole version of the article we now have ready for Monday, with the two images I have added and all the text now all fitting on one page.
