FINAL DRAFTS

Front Page, Contents Page and Double-Page Spread of my Final Magazine Product.

2ND DRAFTS

Front Cover, Contents Page and Double Page Spread

I have also completely changed the images and house style of the magazine.

AUDIENCE FEEDBACK

Front Cover- I should move my barcode more over to the right-hand corner of the page.My coverline isn't as noticable, and should be a lot more larger. I may use the 'stroke effect' on Photoshop to outline the font of the artists at the top of the cover-page. I may also put a red outline (to go with the House-Style) around the teasing-contents. The image has been responded to positively from members of my Media class, saying it develops well with the genre and is has a 'unique,quirky' edge and style to it, also bringing fashion into the music magazine.

Contents Page- I need to add more pictures to the Contents Page, as I require a minimum of 4. The layout is not very professional and in order to improve this I will look at some other music magazines and emulate their styles in order to help improve my Contents. Also I have used the word 'Page' on my page numbers, and many people in my class disliked this and thought it was a weak point so I will also remove the word 'Page' when I edit this further. Also I am going to consider creating a fictional 'Letter from the Editor' with an MCU shot of another 'model'/person, it will also take up space on my contents so this won't make it look as 'spacious' and 'blank'.

Double-Page Spread- I going to make the interview longer and also use the font more artistically and creative like the majority of media magazines. Also I am going to restrict the image to the left hand page, and the interview on the right-hand page, also smaller in font and closer together. I also need to make it more detailed as I have made the mistake of putting different page numbers on the contents to the actual page numbers on the article. I am also going to add a 'Photo Credit' and also a fictional Web-Address.

AUDIENCE FEEDBACK

Statements I have taken into consideration are-

Add more information to the barcode- change its placement to the bottom right hand barcode, and add more information to it such as i.e Date,Issue,Price and also maybe the Web Address if needed.

Make my Masthead have more of an impact, it is Grey, I need something that stands out more against the background of my magazine.

A banner behind my Skyline would help, as the features are quite small and look 'lost' against the background of my Front Cover.

Less detail in the Sub-Heading of the Coverline, as 'less is more'. The Main Coverline also needs more impact- this would be very important for my magazine Front Cover.

The 'Splash' I should create to be more effective and not as basic.

My thumbnail picture is not rightfully owned by me- I will get rid of it and use my own images.

I am also going to consider removing the 'house/bedroom' background, as it is interfearing with my house style I have created. However I am also considering changing the main image and house style overall as a decision of my own.
