Day 8: 15 hour exam Hollywood Undead/Fall Out Boy

Both of these articles are very short so I decided to put them both on one page. At first, I thought it would be cramped and not enough space but I only used one image for each text and then it fit onto the one page. Getting both of the titles to fit was also a pain because with one title being longer than the other meant that 'Fall Out Boy' had to be stretched a bit more and made to look the same as the 'Hollywood Undead' title. For this to work, I had to mess around with the text and make it smaller so both the titles fit onto the page.

After being so careful with how much red was in the magazine, I saw that there wasn't any red so I decided to make the background for this page to be bright red. I either wanted the text to be black or white and it was very difficult to decided which one looked better and looked more effective. I thought that having white for the titles and black for the text was a really good contrast so I went with idea thirteen for my final idea.

If I had the time, I would have made the article into two pages because it would be nice to see more images for both, especially for these two because they are very big bands. However, if I made them separate articles it would make the number of articles uneven and I would have to include another article for the magazine to work and not have any blank pages.
