1. The banner at the top of the page adds really well to the overall design, it makes it not look too professional whilst still in keeping with the rest of the article.
2. It contains pinks and blues to appeal to both males and to females.
3. 'Ask Victoria' is written in a font that looks very professional, it is the title of the article so therefore needs to stand out, it stands out because of it's size, colour, and it's font.
4. There is a picture of the agony aunt in the top right to show the readers who is answering their questions, she is smiling and looking friendly in order to show that she is trustworthy.
5. There is a second picture in the bottom left of the page of a student looking stressed. Second pictures are a common convention on problem pages, the student looks stressed in the picture in order to relate to the article to the right of it.
6. The 'Get in Touch' box at the bottom of the page is also a common convention, it is dark pick to be different from the title and the banner and stand out. This allows the readers to clearly see how they can get in touch with 'Ask Victoria'.
7. Large drop cap Q and A's standing for Question and Answer fit in well with the rest of the colour scheme of the page. They are in two different colours to differentiate between the agony aunt and the people writing in.
8. The borders around each of the questions makes it look professional, however by having them dashed rather that a solid line keeps it fairly casual, as well as making it more visually appealing.
I feel that my finished page is very successful, it looks professional but still looks slightly casual. I do think that I could improve, by making it look slightly more finished, with small design details, and things to generally add to the appearance, as it is currently slightly plain. For my main portfolio I will need to work on noticing where to put small details, perhaps add more photos, in order to make it look true to a page from a magazine.
