Reasons for Improved Draft Article

On the post of my original draft my teacher commented that it was no way near long enough for my magazine double page spread. Therefore I have extended and developed my article to 644 words so that it is a more substantial amount for my article, however, my teacher then suggested to develop this further for my final draft of my magazine to at least 1,000 words. Then, this would give me the option to edit my article to fit the layout of the double page spread and would give me the opportunity to cut sections out or move it around etc. to fit the magazine, rather then having to make the magazine fit the article.
