Magazine in whole

Improvements in relation to teacher feedback 3

• The improvements made on these contents pages is making the background darker behind the writing. Not only that but I added an editors signature to make the magazine feel more real. After making the adjustments I don't think I would want to use this design. I think this because due to the feedback I received its clear to me that my audience don't think it matched my front cover. This is essential when making a magazine and I need to get this right. 

Improvements in relation to teacher feedback 2

My teacher feedback included spell checking and changing the background colour behind the text/making it darker black. This improvement shows that the red in my opinion isn't working well. This is because the colour contradicts the the cork background I have used.
Aswell as that I changed the number 3 page number that was placed next to 'INTERVIEW' to 14. This is explained in my previous improvements post.

New improvements on teacher feedback

• Changes so far after teacher feedback.

New improvement changes from Contents Mock

• This is progress of updating one of my contents pages (The first one I made)
• I have made several changes to when I first made this contents page. I have added more design onto it, such as the red and cream lines. I have added more stories and big headings so that my audience know where to look for what.I have added images to my two main stories in the magazine. 
• To improve this contents I would have to add the story from my front cover onto the contents page.

In order to make this work a B+ I would have to take the following action;

• Change the page number of my interview story in order to make it more conventional for a magazine. Page three like i have stated could be advertisements.
• Add headings such as Features and Regulars above the subheadings for it to make sense.
• Add captions to the pictures so that the audience know who they are looking at and why they are in the magazine. 
• Spell check with capital letters all of my subheadings so that it is professional enough to be marked. 

Contents feedback

Strengths: You've used a lot of conventional elements on your contents page which is good! The pictures on the bottom are very creative!
Areas for improvements: You could add a little bit of information underneath the subheading to explain more on each of the stories.

Feedback- Abieey Weaver

Strengths: There is no blank/white space and everything is really clearly set out and understandable and a good variety of pictures. Looks like a proper magazine contents.

Areas for Improvement: keep the housestyle the same

Feedback

The contents I uploaded to moodle is Contents Draft 3 (The corkboard one)
- This is not my final contents but this is the one I need feedback on.

Contents Page - Changes after Tutor feedback

I kept the outline of the contents page however it looks more spaced out due to me adding a sub title and a dateline. I kept the splash on the page because this draws the eye of the reader to the advertisement from the front page. I have used a pre - made clipart background in one part of my contents page, this is in the bottom right corner, behind the contract advert for a monthly magazine. I blended this using the darken blend mode, allowing the image to fade into my grey box background. This adds character to the magazine page and keeps it looking modern like several music magazines published today. 

Front Cover - Changes after peer feedback

I made changes to my front cover due to the peer feedback I received on my last media session. The changes I made were because the previous items on my front page were unconventional. I took the page numbers off the front cover therefore making it look like a more conventional, convincing cover line. Not only that but I took off the border from around the barcode. The barcode I have is a medium size just like magazine's such as Billboard because it is then noticeable to the target audience that it is a priced magazine. This will draw their attention to the dateline and price line at the top of the page, where I purposely presented my splash nearby. This is next to my advertisement to win V Festival tickets, this can draw the audience to buy the magazine without even reading the cover lines!

I added a tagline along the bottom of my magazine's border. This is showing that there is exclusive information given from plugged magazine that they may not get anywhere else. I moved up my One Direction prompt due to fitting this tag line in.
