Doublepage Radio Listings

This is the end result of my double page radio listings. Using old versions of radio listings, as well as a direct reference to the layout used in the Radio Times’ radio listings section, I feel my final version stands as a convincing example of the one in which ‘The Unseen’ would be listed.

Using InDesign, I chose a custom paper setting that changed the standard selection to A3 and landscape. I opened a black page which I then found the half way measurement at 48 cm. This would be the guideline for half way. Always looking at my scanned radio times sheets and old photocopy of a radio listings double spread, I selected text boxes and typed in appropriate information. In the end the most difficult part was getting the proportion of he text boxes to match that of the ones I was basing my version on. I tried to be as accurate as possible as this helped when fitting all the boxes into the required half of the a3 page, meanwhile still including spacing around each box which really existed as each column of text. The most time consuming part was altering the text from regular to italics, or bold. Also sizing and spacing issues came into it as I was trying to fit everything I had typed, within the boxes.
