SECOND DRAFT FRONT COVER AND CONTENTS PAGE AND DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

WHAT I LIKE AND WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE ON MY SECOND DRAFT.

This is my second draft for my music magazine. I really like the picture, however I would like to change the edit of the picture, because it is too dark and also her face has turned a more yellow/ shiny effect. I like that I have a colour scheme for my magazine for the fonts. However I would like to focus on 3 good fonts rather than having different fonts every time because it looks messy and unorganised. I need to also add the price on my front cover somewhere, either at the top in the free spot in the black box, or near the bar code. Also maybe add boxes behind the text and tilt them (style/ reorganise them).

This is my second draft for my content page. Again I like the colour scheme for the content page. I also like the layout and have the headings in black. However, I would like to number chronologically, because it look disorganised and confusing. Also add some texts by the picture up because it is unclear on what is going on. I would like to add a few more picture, maybe more on youmeatsix's tour. And replace the picture of model to a new one as it is not very good.

I really don't like this page, as the cutting and quality of the picture is really bad. Also the colour of the font is really hard to read. However I do like the text for the heading 'Are the rumours true?' So I think I would like to keep that the same. But change the colour of the text. Rearrange the whole content page.

I do really like this page because of the colours, and text. However it is a bit plain and boring. I would like to add a 'pull quote' of an interesting section. Maybe I will delete a section of the magazine to fit it in. I could add a picture in the centre of the page with a quote maybe. Also go through and check for spelling mistakes and re word certain things as some is not needed or does not seem right. I would like to add page numbers and a little logo on the content page, and the double page spread to make my magazine look a lot more professional.

FIRST DRAFT ON MY DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD.

WHAT I LIKE AND WHAT I WANT TO CHANGE ON MY FIRST DRAFT.

I like the layout of this page, however I would like to change the colour scheme because stereotypically pink represents girls, and my magazine is for boys and girls. Therefore it has already suggests it is just for girls. So I would like to put a red or green. Also I really would like to use this picture as my front cover. So I would like to replace this picture, and I wouldn't edit it as much because her face looks abit too airbrushed.

Again I would like to change the colour scheme of this page. I like the layout of this page, however it looks very boring at the moment. Especially the random pink colour in the text. I would like to change all the questions to be a specific colour rather than mix and match because it is a bit confusing and scruffy looking. Also maybe add a pull quote or picture to draw the reader to the page more.

FIRST DRAFT ON MY CONTENT PAGE

 This is my first draft of my content page for my music magazine, I really like the colour scheme to my magazine which is red, white, and black. I really like the way I have a bold black header for the different categories as this makes it easier for the reader to find what they like. I also like the lines to my content page the lines I have put in e.g. at the bottom of all the pages included in the magazine all add to detail and make it a lot less plain, therefore I would like to add quite a few more of these at the top etc. One thing I would definitely like to change is the picture, it isn't the best quality and I think I may have edited a bit too much, therefore next time I would like to not airbrush it as much. Also one last thing I'm not sure on is, there is not enough pictures, I actually have pictures from the You Me At Six concert from last month and there fore can use them on my magazine, because content pages are usually full on pictures. 

FIRST DRAFT OF MY FRONT COVER

 

This is my first draft of my front cover for my music magazine. I like the layout to this magazine, especially the main title and her name Orla. I wanted the main titles of the magazine to stand out, and I wanted to do this by using a bold text. I wanted my front cover to be basic and not too busy. I used a part of the magazine interview which I thought would be interesting and make the reader want to read the double page spread. I also advertised exclusive pictures and posters so they know they are getting more out of the magazine. I made the bar code myself as well as editing the picture. I wanted her face to be nicely airbrushed to give the celebrity flawless skin look. I would like to go back and either change the picture, or simply do something with the back ground of the magazine as it looks quite a faded grey and messy. I used a coral pink and white colour scheme, however I would definitely want to go back and change this as the colour chose may only attract girls, and my magazine was is out to attract both audiences of men and female. Overall I am quite happy with my front cover magazine, I would just like to do a little touch ups to it.
