What’s new?

  • I have changed the typeface at the top of the front page to red so that it stands out on the page and catches my audience’s attention – they are famous indie music artists so important that they are what the reader sees initially
  • Added a red pug at the bottom right to draw in the reader – by putting an opportunity to win something on the front cover, it makes the audience want to open the magazine
  • I included an extra cover line at the bottom to fill the space and give my audience a better idea as to what is inside my magazine
  • I changed name of other cover line back to Bon Iver as I thought there was too much about my cover star on one page
  • Added a shadow on my cover star to make her stand out more on the page and feel more alive

What’s new?

  • I added the Prodigy logo at the bottom left because it is conventional to have the magazines logo included on the contents page
  • The highlight colour of the quote was white before with black font but by switching the colours around I feel it makes it pop more and fits better with the black boot
  • I added blue lines on lines over and under ‘contents’ – this matches the colour scheme more and makes it more eye catching
  • By changing the bubble colour under the album colour to red (matching the colour scheme) and bevel and embossing it, it allows the album to be one of the main focuses of the page
  • I added a drop shadow on the album cover again to make it pop more
  • Included the Spotify and Apple Music logo under the album cover to inform the reader where they can listen and buy the music
  • Changed the page numbers so that they match with each other
  • I moved the image up slightly to fill the space and allow the bright nails and rings to be more visible on the contents page
  • Made the editor’s signature darker so that it stands out more

What’s new?

  • I changed highlight colour on quote so that it matches the jeans, however it doesn’t stand out as much as I’d like so that might have to be adapted in further development
  • Made the ‘mirrors’ advert box smaller and moved it to the bottom because it was not important enough to feature at the top of the article
  • I spread out the stand first along the top above the article and changed the strike and typeface colour so it catches the readers attention and makes it clear that it is the stand first of the article
  • Added a drop capital at start of article because it is conventional for not only a magazine article but any article in the media world
  • Added captions to images
  • I made the whole background of article transparent so that you can still slightly see the main image behind it, giving it a flowing and connected feeling
