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.

Gig Review (draft)

This is my gig review draft, there were a few problems with this, namely the size of the 3 secondary images as well as the overlap onto the second page. When creating this article I was not sure about where the two pages divided.

Contents Page (draft)

This is my draft contents page.

When I analysed magazines contents pages I noticed that when the magazine dominated with images there would be a set layout for them, this layout often was symetrical. As such I created my own layout for my contents page.

I chose to have the 4 smaller images divided into halves, one side being live reviews and the other being single model images. With the bigger images I chose to use two unconventional images (the white line on the lower image is meant to be there, I took a picture of a mirror and thats the wall next to it).

I chose to write a letter to the editor to give the magazine an open feel to the reader.

Front Cover (draft)

This is my initial draft cover,
Its noticable that theres issues with the main image.
Other than this I feel the borders at the top at bottom help frame the page, and with the main strap line at the centre of the page with the main feature and then the second strap line and feature to the side of the masthead, making it easily noticable as the person looks at the masthead.

Questionnaire Final

After changing my initial questionnaire I ended up with this.
Handing out roughly 15 copies of the questionnaire had no issues, and no-one that I asked had an issue reading or filling out the questionnaire.
