This is what I have done after I received my feedback to improve my magazine.
7th January 2015
Front cover
I have added a drop shadow
effect to the main cover line so that it is bolder than the rest of the text therefore it will be eye catching.
I have now added an outer glow to
the rest of the main cover line, Ive done this so it is still clear what the text says on the background but also so it is eye catching.
added a star with text saying posters
what the images above it are.
I have now to indicate
I have now added a red drop
shadow to one of the cover lines, the colour sticks to the colour scheme but it also makes the text stand out from the image that its on.
I have now added a
strobe effect to the other cover line so you can make out what it says.
I have now changed the font of most
the text so the same font isnt used too much.
This is how my front cover looks like
now that I have finalised it with the feedback I received.
9th January 2015
Contents Page I have changed the font of the masthead of the page so that the font isnt the same all the way through.
have changed the font of certain words within the
contents, these words being music artists; therefore the reader knows who is being featured throughout. Also the page numbers have been changed in font so that they stand out from the rest of the font.
have lined the images up so that it looks professional.
I have moved some of the text so that the text over the top image isnt out of place, so I move the text on the third image to be similar.
Double Page Spread
For the text on the double page spread I have went through checking the spelling and grammar, also I have changed some of the font within the text such as the name of the band in the opening sentence and the names of the people I am interviewing.
I have changed the font of the text of
the double page spread to match the main cover line font as it is about the same topic.
Ive changed the positioning of the pull quote so that the
right side of the double page spread wasnt blank.
I have added the magazine masthead to the top left hand
corner so that it is still linked into the magazine and so it is still advertising that it is this magazine with all the exclusives.
14th January 2015
I have added an outer glow to all the captions on the pictures so that the text is more visible. The only image I didnt added an effect to was the third one down as the effect didnt seem to work on this text.
I have added a drop
shadow to the title of the page just so that it isnt plain and so that it has some sort of appeal to this page.
I added an outer glow
to the title on the double page spread, this is so it stands out a bit but also so it jumps out slightly at the viewer.
I have added a green outer glow to
the pull quote so that it stands out from the background image; also I have moved the pull quote so that it doesnt cover anyones face on the background image. I have added an outer glow to the captions of the images on the double page spread so they are clearly readable over the images, also the colour of the outer glow matches the colour scheme throughout.
