Final contents drafts

From audience feedback I have been making some final changes to my contents page.However i still need to make some changes to the tex to make it more clearer and easier to read, I have changed the picture of the boy on the bottom left as the background before was not the right place, this is a clear image of the artist.I changed the text of the pull quote making it bigger and bolder and also changed the colour of some of the font so it matched the house style more and ran throughout my double page spread and front cover.

Final front cover drafts

After gaining some audience feedback on my front cover i decided to change some of the styles of texts and the colouring. I also added in more cover lines to show my magazine has more featured inside.

Audience Feedback - Changes double page spread

From my audience feedback I have made the changes to my double page spread.However I still need to make a decision on what looks better either keeping the text to the left of the image or the normal image without the text to the side.

Audience Feedback- Chnages Contents Page

I have made changes to my contents page from my audience feedback. I have added in some more cover lines to the side of the page to make it look as though there is more featured in the magazine and as though people are getting more for the money.I also added in a new feature to make the magazine more appealing.I made the text more clearer and bolder so it is easier for the audience to read, and I also filled in the empty gaps of the page so it looks as though there is no free space.

Audience Feedback On Front Cover-Final

Over the next week I am going to be getting audience feedback from my target audience and age group of who my magazine is aimed at, I will record it and upload it when i have received all the audience feedback.I will then make the changes that I think will make the magazine look more professional and better for the audience and also make it more clearer and appealing to them.

I lined all my text so it fitted the page right and it looked more professional , also from audience feedback i decided to change the layout of my page as it fits better.

Dps Final drafts

As my deadline is tommorow I am making some final drafts to my double page spread, adding in a page number and the final text to make it look complete and professional.

DPS drafts

Today I added in the text to my double page spread.And I will make some more changes to the texts and colouring on the page.I decided to add in a different picture because it fitted better and was less pixalated when i edited and cropped it.I used the cropping tool to make this image fit into the double page spread.I changed the colour scheme to purple as the background because I think it fits better with my image and looks more appealing and is kept within the same house style as my contents and front cover.

Double page spread drafts

I am starting to create my double page spread, I will keep posting things that I am adding.

Last contents drafts

Today is my deadline so I am making the final changes to my magazine, I have added in another picture.Now I will make different fonts and styles and sizes of fonts.I also changed the colouring of some of the texts and boxes so the text is easier and clearer to read.

Contents drafts

I did more drafts of my contents page today, I made some more changes by adding in lines to serperate the cover lines about what is included in the magazine so it is clearer and easier for the reader to see.I also put in a bubble "best mag of 2012" which will appeal to the audience.Tommorow I will add in a picture from a live performance of Labrinth and then I will make some last changes to my contents page.As tommorow is my deadline.

More Contents Drafts

Today I added more pictures to my contents page and organised the boxes so they look more professional and fit better into the contents.I used some more technology like photo shop to edit my images.Where I have edited the image it has cut some of the boys head out.I will gain audience feed back on this and make the changes to it.I added columns into my contents page so that it was more lined up and looked more professional.I also centred and lined the font, and put a white backgroun against my page numbers because it looked better and blended more with the images in the contents page.

Contents Drafts

Over half term I thought of some ideas for my contents page.I will add more images of people to put into my contents page and add more cover lines throughout, I need to think of more ideas to put into my contents page to make it more appealing to the audience.I think the image I have included in the middle is good because it shows that the magazine is to do with music.Also the girl was featured on the front of my article, and in the contents she is again the main focus.Therefore this shows to the audience that the magazines main focus is this artist,linking the magazine together with genre audience and house style.

Final Front cover drafts

Theese are ideas for my final front cover,over the half term I will gain audience feedback of what people think I need to change about what I have done, I will then make theese changes.My favorite front cover so far is the top one.

Front cover drafts

For my front cover I have chosen to use the image of the girl playing the guitar.I chose this because it links well to my audience and also gives the audience a clue that it is a music magazine as they may think it could be something else.I have started to add some cover lines onto my magazine and I will keep drafting theese.I am seeing which colours look best, and seeing which way things are organised and how they look best on my magazine.I think my master head is in a clear and obvious place in order for the audience to see it well and clearly.

Audience Feedback Front Cover

Lydia Female (16)-
I think that the front cover should be of either theese two images.I think the grey goes very well in the font it is in and the headline is very clear and links well to the audience and the image used in the cover.There is also enough space to place headlines around the image.The images are very direct and could appeal to the audience more, the blank background behind the girl put more emphasis on her and her appearence.

Nicole Female (17)-

For the front cover I think you should use this image.I think this because it fits very well with the genre and aims well to the audience of the magazine.There are also some good props included which shows you were thinking about the audience when you were taking the shots.The master head also looks very bright and appealing and will catch the audiences eye.It also contrasts very well with the black and white background as it stands out from the rest of it.Direct address from the girl being photographed also gives the audience a more personal feel to the magazine.

Front cover ideas

Using time in my lessons today and yesterday I have been potential images for my front cover.I have added the title onto the images to see what the heading will look like with the front cover ideas, this will help me to decide which colour master head to use and which picture I should use for my front cover.

Photoshoots and potential images

Theese are potential images that I want to use in my magazine,They are all of different angles and shots of the artist that I want to be featured in my magazine, This artist will be included in my front cover,contents and double page spread.They are clear shots of the artist to feature her clearly as it is important for the audience to see she is the main focus of my magazine, Her facial features can also show the atmoshphere and mood of the magazine before the audience begin to read it.The images need to link clearly to the genre of my magazine,I think theese images do this very well.I think if i used some of theese images on my front cover and throughout it would help to grab the readers attention.The props that I have included throughout the images help to link to the genre of my magazine.
