I have written the article piece and am now seperating it into three collumns as this is a typical lay out for magazines. To make this process more accurate I am using the grid on Photoshop to ensure that all three collumns are equal.
To place Peter infront of the box I used the magnetic lasso to crop his shoulder and make it a new layer then placing it over the rectangle. The purpose of the rectangle is to make my page more accessible, as it would be bard to read over the graffiti background. However, I did lower the opacity of the layer as I wanted the background to still be seen.
There was a lot of empty space on the upper right corner and this hindered the balance of my page so I decided to add a large quote from the main body of writing as this is something else I noticed during my primary research of magazines.
To keep the page consistent and also make it easier for my audience to read, I again used white rectangles below the text.
Again, to move Peter infront of the boxes, I used the magnetic lasso tool to create a layer. I then zoomed in to use the quick selection brush tool to really erase extra pixels to create a smoother and more professional image.
This is what it looked like when I was complete.

| I was deciding which font and colour to use for my byline, in the end I decided to use the same gold colour as the main page. (See below image for changes). |

| This is the page I have so far, I still need to move my article into three columns to make the page look less clustered and more professional as in it's current state it looks like the fourth column is squashed. *I will post the updated/final d.p.s as soon as possible* |
