Today I went to the skydiving centre that I will feature in an article. I conducted research whilst I was there into what they offer, their facilities and its location. I got a hands-on review from my brother who took part. 
Cookie Monster Cupcakes
Whilst making the cupcakes I took pictures at different intervals so I could use them in my final article.
Cookie Monster Cupcake Article
After the feedback I chose to reword some sentences and make them more easy to read, for adults and children alike. I also placed boxes around the text throughout the article to make it more interesting and easier to catch the eye. I also changed the font type so it matches my other articles giving it a more uniform effect. I like the handwriting font in the title and word 'enjoy' as it adds a warmer touch, as if you are reading instructions written by hand.
First attempt at Cookie Monster cupcakes
Here is my first attempt at baking Cookie Monster cupcakes for my article about baking being fun for all the family. Whilst baking I took pictures at different stages for the article. It will contain a step by step guide on how to make these. 
DrawPlus X6
I have been using DrawPlus X6 to create my articles. It is user-friendly and quick and I am able to create publications of a high quality finish.
Interview Questions
Here are some possible interview questions relating to the article on camping.
Families:
Families:
- How many times have you taken your family camping?
- Do you prefer caravans or tents?
- What do you enjoy most about camping?
- What are some negatives of camping?
- What do you look for in a possible campsite before booking?
- Any funny stories to share?
Staff:
- Is your campsite family-friendly?
- How often do you have families booked in?
- What activities do you offer for children?
- Do you allow dogs on your campsite?
- Are there any local events/attractions that would appeal to families?
Drafted Article
After deciding that one of my articles would be about camping and would feature a particular campsite as it provides opportunity for interview, I have drafted a few ideas for layouts using some I have found previously.
All of the ideas I drafted make use of two A4 pages.
The first features the main picture as the whole page and adds information within. This does present some problems such as adding text, it cannot be read straight over the picture thus you need to use text boxes. This runs the risk of taking away from the background image, especially if you have a lot of text to add. It also creates the issue when trying to add further images without ruining the main one. Although this seemed like a good idea, I do not like this design due to having to use text boxes.
The second is a lot more plain. Ideal if a lot of text is needed and for adding lots of different images. It is less eye-catching however and runs the risk of being too boring for readers.
This last one is my favourite. The image is cropped and takes up half of the page, so still giving it centre stage. This frees up the bottom half for plenty of information, or little - depending on font size. You can add other images to maintain interest without taking from the central image. Some writing such as the title can go over the main image to create space below.
