This is the first draft of all three pages of my magazine; the front cover, contents, and the double spread page. For my front cover I think I will stick with the structure of orange and dark colours as I feel the two work well together. I had difficulty fitting my title in with the graffitti background so decided to put an orange header in underneath the title which I think worked really well with it. However then the header looked quite bland, so I added in a 'Free' message. Although this wasnt in my previous planning I think it will work well there and will definately attract audiences. As for my contents, I am really happy with the way it is laid out and with the contents.Personally Im not sure what else I should do to improve it, as reviewing from other people they also like it, so will have to wait for any negative comments about it. My double page spread was the page I really struggled with. I tried to stick with my planning as much as I could but realised that the boxes that surrounded my writing on the page took up alot of room and almost hid the background picture out of sight. To stop this I minimised the picture so that my model is clearly visible between the texts, and put a black background in the blank spaces. I then also added a firework border to the page to add just a little bit of colour to it in order for it to look appealing and not just a boring black. I have reviweed every page apart from this one as it has been under development for quite some time, so will try and get that done via podcast ASAP.
After recent teacher feedback, I now have a clear idea of editing tasks i need to do to all three of my pages. What I need to do is make sure that throughout my magazine I follow the same theme in terms of fonts and colour. Especially on my front cover, I have several colours whereas I should only have around three. My contents page needs to feature more page numbers to match with my asking price, and my double page spread needs a lot of work in terms of where things are positioned.
