Above is my first draft for my magazine contents page. Overall I think it is effective in portraying the indie genre as the colour scheme is pastel and the type faces give a unique and retro vibe which is conventional of the indie genre. A classmate also commented on the fact that the uniquely shaped boxes and the minimalistic apporach is effective
Things that I will change to improve my next draft are:
- Make borders the same thickness of play around with them more to make the different thickness seem more deliberate
- Space out the lettering on the captions so that the font is easier to read
- Add another image to fill up some of the empty space
- Add socials and contact details so that the audience feel more included in the magazine
