I decided my guide would be about skateboarding, graffiti, 4-D cinema, London Aquarium, art and the London Eye because I think they're the things young people are interested in and when we went to Southbank I saw that these things were more appreciated by young people. The first things I started working on were the images to put in, the text, the writing style and the colours.
After deciding the topics of the leaflet I looked at different layouts and thought about which would be better for my guide. First of all I experimented with "Illustrator", but after having some problems trying to modify the pictures I decided to use "Fireworks"because I was more familiar with it and I knew how to do whatever I needed to do. Fireworks was good, but it had to be printed out separately, which added to my work, but I can still say that it helped me a lot and it made my work easier.
The text is simple and straight forward: it gets to the main point without too many words.
The layout is simple and it has examples of the sponsored events.
According to the poll I did about my Southbank guide and to what people say, the guide is good.
Having a look at my guide I think I can say that all the information required is present and that the text goes straight to the point, but if I was given the opportunity to improve it I would change some things, for example, some colours of the text to make it easier and clearer to read.
