To end my music magazine project, i had to answer 7 questions, evaluating my finished product and knowledge gained over the course of the project.

Magazine Analysis Summary

After analysing the multiple magazines I decided to do an overal summary highlighting aspects i've noticed as well as what aspects of conventional magazines i will encorporate into my product.

Interview (final)

To change the previous problems of poor quality images, I retook the images, and changed the colour levels to the best as I could. I also changed the background for the introduction paragraph as this seperates the page. I also chose to add in captions to give each image more meaning and reason.

Gig Review (final)

To solve the issues with the page split I moved the text and scaled the images to make them fit the columns. I changed the colour of the opening paragraph so that the reader will subconciously know that this paragraph would be an introduction, the colour change also helps separate the page and give it an added edge to it.

Contents Page (final)

With a week to go before the final copies were due I decided with feedback from my teacher that my contents page was worth leaving as it is, as the page layout works well, with the images and the text and font size.

Front Cover (final)

When creating my final cover, I retook my main image, and as the sizings then had to change I moved the main strapline to make the image look more proportionate.

As I changed the position of the strap line I also changed the opacity of the background to the substrapline, making it blend in better.

Interview (draft)

This is my interview draft, I tried to make this peice my most text dominant, however in doing so I made it too dominant. As well as this the quality of a number of the images including my main one is not worth putting into my final peice.
