Improved front cover

This is my improved front cover. I have improved it from the comments i got from my pupils. I have made my picture bigger, my splash bigger, added more text and got rid of the red eye on my model.

Feedback from pupils on my double page spread.

I asked Paul Deakin about what he thought about my double page spread and to give me feedback. He said that the layout was good but that he didn't like the picture of the lad. This is because it is a rubbish picture. Paul said to improve i should replicate the image of the girl so it looks like they are competing against each other. This will link in with the story that i have got. He also said that the colour for the lad interview doesn't look good on the blue background. But the blue background it good because it is throughout the magazine that shows the profession and consistency.

Feedback for my contents page

I asked Ben Murphy what he thought of my contents and he thought that the text was boring on my contents and that it was too big for the contents page. But he said that the background looks very good as it looks professional and consistent. Ben said that the pictures were good and he liked how they both had a glow on them to make the picture stand out so they are eye catching. But the picture of amy can be improved fixing the red eye. This will make it seem more professional and conventional to a proper music magazine.

Final contents page draft 2

This is my contents page. I have changed the background, the layout. I have took some ideas from the music magazine called Q. I have also changed the text and the picture layout as well.

Feedback from peers on my front cover

I have been talking to my pupils in my media studies class about my front cover and they think that there isnt much text on there and to improve this they think i should either make my picture bigger so it covers up more space or add more text to the front cover to take up the space. This would make the cover stand out a lot more on the shelves if there was more text that was bold on the front. They said that they like the picture on the front as it goes with the layout well but they think that i should get rid of the red eye on the picture to make it look more professional. They really liked my text and the font that i have used on the text because it is eye catching this is also the case with the colours i have used and also the background. This is a big step from the first front cover i posted because it stands out more and the front cover doesn't look plain no more.

Front cover draft three

This is my front cover draft three. I have changed the fonts on this draft to make the text stand out more.

Front Cover Draft 2.

I haven't changed my fonts on this front cover yet because i wanted to see what people thought about it and also to see what feedback i would get so i could change it again. I have changed the background from black to this blue because my theme colours were blue and also because of the feedback i got. Mr Taylor thought that the black background didn't work with the picture and i think he was right. I have given the image a glow because it would stand out to the audience and also i have done this to the fonts as well because i thought that it would make the writing stand out from the background.
