Music Magazine

I am in the final stages of my music magazine. I am adding final improvements to all three of my pages and checking all elements on them. I have touched up my front cover picture and positioned it finally and I have looked over every page and corrected any small errors such as spelling and punctuation. I am happy with my overall magazine and am pleased with the progress I have made between versions. I feel that getting feedback really helped me in the finishing elements of the magazine. I have realised errors that I might not have noticed and feel that it has improved since my last version. I am also happy with my new photos that I have taken, I am much happier with the quality and the overall design and layout that I have put with them. I have had moments where I have not been sure what to do for my magazine and created more drafts to make sure I was happy with the final piece.

Music Magazine

This week I continued to act on feedback and improvements. I decided to reinsert my contents page pictures as one of them was blurry so I resaved it and put it back onto the document. I then decided to touch up the rest of the pages. I focused on my double page spread. I decided that for my columns I would like to give the column edges a torn effect so I added this to me design and I feel it give it an extra edge. I felt that it needed more of a rough and raw feel like my style model did so I decided to add this. I decided to change the colours on my contents page to a darker shade of grey and added a red border so that it would keep the colour scheme throughout the magazine. I also thought that my contents page needed more writing so I added a features section to the text and feel it looks better and more informative that it includes more information about the content of the magazine.

Music Magazine

I have continued to update my magazine after gaining very useful feedback and I am really happy with the progress I have made. I have retaken my pictures and I am really happy with them. I had looked at other magazines Hayley Williams had been on and realised that she did have a lot of attitude in her photo shoots, so I decided to incorporate this into my shots. I realised after I gained a response form the magazine that the colour scheme was jumbled and didn’t really fit into any particular style model. I decided to change my original idea that I put on my hand drawn designs and instead made it red black and grey being the dominant colours. I feel this works better as the text I had on the background fits better. I have restarted my double page spread as my file had broken so I started it a fresh. I inserted the new picture and still wanted to incorporate the “manufactured” and “blasphemy” quotes onto the page so decided to add these behind the picture. I have inserted the text for my double page spread and the contents page has also got a new picture which isn’t blurry, I have changed quite a few elements of my overall design but feel it all works a lot better and all of the different elements complement each other a lot better.
