Completed Version Of Front Cover

Here is the completed version of my front cover. I have added the image I said that I was going to add. Overall, I am happy with handing this product in as I feel it is a lot more improved then my previous version. The feedback I received is what I feel has helped me feel more comfortable with my work. The colour is a lot more realistic and the images help make it more appealing. I know that there will be some improvements, yet I am a lot happier and feel better with the final product. The background colour is a lot more appealing and still catches the audience's attention

2nd Double Page Spread Analysis

This is another double-page spread I have analysed. I have talked about the typical conventions and whether they have been put into the double-page spread. I talked about both the positives and negatives and I have also talked about whether I could use anything from the double-page in my own version. I have discussed the effect and significance of some of the conventions the editor has used. When analysing this double-page spread it did give me some personal ideas for my own. Some of the ways the information has been forwarded to the audience, is something I personally think is very effective.

Final Draft Of Double-Page Spread

Here is the final draft of my Double-Page Spread. I am very happy with it as I feel it has a sense of realism and that it looks like a double-page spread. I like the idea, that I have went for an interview. it is quite common to have an interview in a double-page spread. I also think it is quite effective that I have adapted my image into the double-page spread, which makes it even more realistic. I know that there are some improvements that could be made, and I feel the feedback I get will be beneficial.

2nd Version Of Double Page Spread

Here is the second version of my double-page spread. I am sticking with the idea of doing an interview. I am using realistic questions and answers and it is coming together very well in my opinion. The colours are a bit dark at the moment, I feel that I may change it. Yet, overall it is coming together quite well.

1st Version Of Double Page Spread

This is the very first version of my double page spread. I am very happy with it at the moment, and I feel it looks really professional. The colours at this moment are not definite but I might experiment with it in the next few weeks. For my doulbe-page spread, I am going for an 'interview'. The interview will be about a woman who is acting as an American singing sensation. Crazy right? Yet, it is very realistic and I am relating a made-up story related to it.

Updated Draft For Music Magazine Front Cover

After about 10292029 hours of editing and decision making, I have finally finished my draft for the front cover of my music magazine. I have completely changed it in my opinion from the last version I had posted. After I posted my last version, I didn't feel I had done a good job. It didn't look professional enough and didn;t stand out as much as I would have liked. However, I now feel it is more realistic and would stand out alongside other magazines. The sub-headlines have been added which I am happy about. I know that there are improvements that need to be made, yet I am happy with how my front cover looks. The sides of my magazine were orignally plain yellow, and although it is a bright colour, it looked very plain and simple. Now I have made a gradient colour onto it, and looks better in my opinion. I have inlcuded other elements, such as; Date and issue, advertisements for competitions, etc. Tell me what you like and don't like, thanks !!
