INDESIGN_body of text

From my interview with Maya I have come up with this body of text. I wanted to keep the tone light hearted and straight to the point, allowing the focus of the article to be on the layout to give myself the chance to experiment with inDesign. I researched into things that she had mentioned in order to create a more rounded and informative view of her interests.

MAYA SRIVASTAVA

Maya is currently studying Graphic Design at the Leeds College of art. Her favourite designer is Beatriz Milhazes, an artist who hails from Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. She is best known for her work reflecting Brazilian cultural imagery and references to western modernist painting. Her work is very decorative, image based, and stylish. Maya’s work is sleek with a professional style which is similar to Milhazes’.

Her birthday is July 23rd, making her star sign Cancer. Cancerians are known to have good instincts and look for security but also crave adventure. They are popular because they really listen to what others are saying. Home for Maya is Dubai. She is a sun worshipper and hates the cold. She loves and misses the beaches in Dubai. Maya has a lot of hobbies; she loves horse riding, golf and snowboarding to name a few.

Her favorite film is the much-loved comedy Anchorman. It is the fictional story of Ron Burgundy, the top-rated anchorman in San Diego in the '70s. When feminism marches into the newsroom in the form of ambitious newswoman Veronica Corningstone, Ron is willing to play along at first-as long as Veronica stays in her place, covering cat fashion shows, cooking, and other "female" interests. But when Veronica refuses to settle for being eye candy and steps behind the news desk, it's more than a battle between two perfectly coiffed anchor-persons.

Maya’s favorite book is ‘My Sisters Keeper’, the story of Kate, a girl who suffers from acute promyelocytic leukemia, a cancer of the blood and bone marrow. Anna, Kate’s younger sister was conceived in order to harvest blood from her umbilical cord in order to use in treatments to help save Kate's life; however, the treatment was unsuccessful, and ever since, Anna has been used as a donor for any other bodily substance needed to treat Kate, who continues to swing between remission and relapse as she grows up.

Her favorite colour is pink and her favorite food is chocolate.
