This is my near final layout for my inDesign double page spread on Alex, I have decided to use the photo of Alex with the dogs and I felt that reflected what he said about his love for animals which I have spoken about in the article. Here I have looked at the positioning of all the parts of the layout and where I want everything to go and what works best. This is what I have written about Alex in the article-
Alex Slippens is a silly, smiley, 20 year old guy from the south. However Ales hasn’t stayed in one place during his life, so far he has lived in Holland, France and England, making him quite a well travelled man.
Alex is an only child and has a good relationship with his mum and admits to being a bit of a mummys boy, he says ‘I am open with my mum, I wouldn’t keep anything from her.’
Being comfortable and in a familiar environment is important to Alex, he likes
Being at home and works best in his own environment. He a straight forward and organised guy and likes to be alone a lot of the time and is independent, however this doesn’t mean he isn’t a good friend, he has very good close friends and is always loyal.
Alex is an animal lover who also cares a lot about the environment, he has a cat at home called Molly who he talks about very fondly. One of Alex’s dreams would be ‘if I ever get rich I would like to open my own wildlife reserve.’
Alex’s likes to have fun, maybe too much fun sometimes, claiming him self that he smokes too much and often drinks too much, resulting in not so fun hangovers. But being silly and random are all part of Alex’s character, as well as being a clear headed, straight forward guy who knows what he likes in life. And what Alex likes in life are the nicer things, he says he would rather spend his money on a few nicer things rather than lots of stuff which isn’t as good, for example he has his trusty iPhone and likes treating himself to nice meals.
Something Alex’s dislikes about himself is his hair, he says ‘it annoys me!’ and he corrected me when I said he was ginger, saying he is strawberry blond. Alex works well and best under pressure and is an organised person, however he doesn say he has a short attention span. Overall Alex is very ambitious and strives to do well in everything he does. He also claims to be very opinionated but says he tries not to dwell on things and just likes to live life and take it as it comes.
