FlipSnack

Final Drafts

This is a advert that I thought would contribute well with my magazine as I think that it could apply to my target audience.

I am aware that this wont be marked but i think that it will compliment the Flipsnack well and and more legitimacy to my final product.

The reason why I think that these adverts fit well with my magazine and target audience is that the music which my magazine is promoting has a emphasis on being “real”, which means that the artists will write and sing about their real life struggles with mental health and other issue that has given them difficult stages through their life.  Most people who listen to these artists often also go through these struggles and they have a sense of relatability and connection the the artists. This is why I thought this advert would fit with he demographic as the words seem encouraging and fit in well with the genre of music that my magazine is promoting.

This is the third draft of my contents page.

Since draft two I have changed the colour of the yellow to match the yellow of the front cover. I also changed the image and sharpened it to make it clearer. I reorganized the coverlines to have more continuity and I captioned the inset and main picture.

This is Draft 2 of my Contents Page. I will use this post for feedback to make my future drafts better.

This is what’s new since the first draft.

• Reorganized the page numbers and titles
• added some more graphics
• changed the ‘contents’ title
• de-blemished the picture and took away the fuzz effect and sharpened it
• added an inset.

These are my targets for my next draft.

• more coverlines but smaller font…
• caption the inset
• who is the image of? caption him.
• change the font in some of the coverlines i.e. a different font for the information and use this font for the main heading
• needs some alignment as a big higgeldy piggeldy
• page number on the right hand bottom corner
• line spacing issues?
