only by creating an undercar rig using magnets or pinch clamps but that is a lot more work, it might be easier to do car to car shooting. so borrow a mate (even better if they have an estate car) to drive you down a closed road and sit in the back with the boot open and shoot the feature car following you behind

i think the industry standards are things like Quark, Adobe Indesign and Adobe Illustrator. although you can still use photoshop its just not as text friendly so can sometimes be more difficult to layout blocks of text.

Isn't there a easier program? I am not looking for tip top stuff, just something i can have a mess around on. Something that is already split up into segments and i can add pictures/text to would be ideal

Just a note on driving without a harness and in the boot of a car.
If you get caught by the feds the driver gets in huge amounts of crap, its why I need to sort out some decent harnesses before I am allowed to do that type of shot.

Just do it out of the pass window, or standing pan or head on stuff.
Anything risking it isnt worth it for not alot of gain.
Shooting cars draws attention, although thats often because of my lights lol, chuck them up and the police all come knocking and asking questions

Try Microsoft Publisher. Try get all your content written out in Word first and then paste it in. Its much easier

Don't use Publisher...
Just out of interest what course are you doing? As good photographs are one thing, but good designs are a completely different matter.
If you're going to be marked on the layout/design get yourself the free trial of InDesign CS4, and if you need any help with it drop me a pm.
If the photographs are more important, then ignore me, I'm a fecking noob!

The corse im taking is A2 Applied ICT, it consists of a mixture of layout, content, text and design for example. The text and photographs are pretty basic they are just a 'get it done' job but the layout and design can be played about with so ill give the programme a look. Cheers

Thought id post up a 1st draft of the article i did, the text ill paste below and the text to the right of the page is just modifications, nothing worth mentioning. Ignor the '>' its the wrong way round.
What is it that keeps drawing young new drivers to the Saxo? Well we caught up with 3 young guns with sweet examples of modified motors. Whether it’s the refined look you’re after, the slammed stance or the downright massive sound system, these guys have got it covered.
Citroen introduced the Saxo to run side by side with Peugeot’s 106 way back in 1997, since then they taken over where the Peugeot 205 and the Renault 5 left off. Quickly becoming the corner stone of the hot hatch tuner scene they dominated in events and on the track.
With loads of engine upgrades, endless amounts of eye candy and the usual sugar coating a souped-up Sax isn’t hard to come by.
What’s so special about these rides then I hear you ask, well as you may know the custom car craze is not only a spectacular one it’s a costly one. These cars have less than 2k spent on customisation and purchase price. This gives us the perfect chance to show you some top tips in Saxo modifying.
They're plenty of young drivers just itching to find the old tool box and start tearing apart their new motors. Before you get frisky with the angle grinder have a gander over our guide to budget mods. So he we go, prepare your bank balance...
Cheers guys
Lewis

For an A-level project for a subject that isnt anything to do with design, Id be happy with that. You might want to either a. crop the main photo so it fits all one page, or if you can, b. make it so its bigger and overlaps even more onto the first page. Its neither here nor there at the moment.
Good effort though tbh
