Comparing the text layout

From my DPS research I have found that most examples of the magazine have the article sorted into columns. At first I have agreed to follow the code and convention however I wanted to see for myself how the text looks in two forms; one being written in a big paragraph on the whole page and one sorted into the columns. Above we can see the two versions compared side by side. In both examples of text I have used a drop cap to start of the article which does follow the set codes and conventions for my making. The image on the left presents the text sorted as Justified, meaning that the text is equally spread out on the width of the page. Whereas the image on the left presents the text in Justified with left, meaning that the ending of the column will be aligned left. After a visual analysis and asking for 3rd party feedback from other people, I have concluded that the text sorted into columns looks much better. This means that I can successfully follow my chosen code and convention.
