Contents Page - Final Draft

Ad you can see I've added a lot more colour to the contents page. I did this buy adding border but keeping to the colour scheme of Red, Black and White.

I've also added a faded red  to create a header for the contents page.

Contents Page - Draft 3

This is my third Contents page draft, as you can see I've added a background of red in the editing section and in the QR code section. I've also moved the date to the top right hand corner and added text whcih says contents.

I've also added text which says "Regulars" to show that this always appears int he magazine.

Improved Front Cover

 

 

This is my improved Front Cover, As you can see I've put different outlines around the text to make it easier to read such as a red outline behind the white one's and black behind the red.

 

I've also moved down my footer so there isn't a gap and I've changed it to red to add contrast, moreover I put a more features piece in the left third, so it's makes the magazine look more conventional.

 

I've made my plug smaller and the text smaller inside it, as it didn't look conventional before.

 

Furthermore I recreated the colour on the lips by selecting the area of the lips, then going to Image - Adjustments - Saturation/Hue. To then soften the colour I used a soft light over the picture so the lip colour looks natural and not fake.

Feedback on Front Cover

This is the feedback from Rebecca Ives.

Acting upon feedback

With this feedback I can improve my front cover by experimenting with the background of the imagery as well as perfecting imperfections such as the gap between the footer and the bottom of the page and re-sizing the text of the plug.

The front cover looks proffesional, pretty cool. The fact that you've done 6 drafts shows you've put a lot of effort in. Also that with each draft you've wrote how to improve, again, don't really know what to say except pretty cool.

Your blog is a good layout and you have good different formats of putting the information across.
Your front cover is very eye-cathing and it looks very good,i like the way you have put the main point in a circle, you could maybe improve the background on the image.

Overall assessment of blog: From a brief look at your blog, all posts are backed up with great descriptions and your final front cover looks very proffessional.

Strengths of front cover: The font looks very effective and looks conventional to the genre of the music magazine.

Areas for development for front cover: Ensure all text fits inside the boxes around the (example competition in the circle). Also, there are small imperfections like the box along the bottom that is not quite touching the bottom and there is a gap that is fairly visible to the audience, eliminating these imperfecting will make the magazine look even more proffesional!
