I have decided to edit and adapt all 3 of my pages for my magazine for the final time and when I have finished they will be my final product. This is because I want all 3 of my pages to look exactly how I want them to and how I had originally envisioned them to. Below is my improved front cover, contents page and double page spread along with what I have changed about them and why.
This is the final version of my front cover and I am very happy with it because I feel like I have got my genre across in the correct light.
The things that I have changed are;
- Added some more color to the cover lines and the plug at the top.
- Made the box at the bottom bigger, which then meant that I had to move the barcode and the price higher.
- Made the ‘top 10 styles’ bigger so that it was easier to read and had more effect.
- Added the Ariana grande poster bit to fill some empty space in the top right hand corner.
- Changed the simply in the masthead to white instead of red so that it went better wit the other colors and the background.
- Made my star image bigger to fill more of the space and make her more central.
This is my improved contents page which I am happy with because I like the style and the MES of my model.
The things that I have changed are;
- I added a plug to attract more attention towards my magazine.
- I made the number pages bigger than the cover lines to add definition to them and make them stand out.
- I added dots either side of my ‘contents’ to make it more bold.
- I added a small logo of my magazine which I got from the masthead from my front cover.
- I changed the shade of pink to make it match my front cover and make them work together a bit more.
- I changed some of the cover lines to make them more about music and my genre.
This is the improved draft of my double page spread and this is my favorite page of my magazine because I love the background and the layout of it.
The things that I have changed are;
- Changed the background to something more interesting.
- Changed the cover star because I wanted to cut it out better but I no longer had the same image so it needed changing, but I am happier with the image that I have chosen.
- Changed the heading because I didn’t have a photo of a man and the headline was a love story.
- Added the interesting facts and the boarder around it.
- Added another insert to make sure that my magazine fitted the brief of having 4 images that I had taken.
- Changed the font of the headline so that it fitted better with the rest of the page.
- Added who the photograph was by.
- Added the page numbers.
