With my Front Cover, I just added onto my cover-lines to fill in some of the negative space:
With the Contents, I fixed the top and bottom layouts and made some adjustments to the pictures and text:
I also changed the image for the contents page as I used a picture similar to the previous one on my DPS and wanted to give off a different vibe in the contents:
I then added a signature ,created on Adobe Illustrator, to my Editor's Letter as it was a common convention of editor's letter's in other magazines therefore I felt like it added professionalism and made it seem as if it was a real magazine:
The last thing I did was just move the page numbers to the outsides as that is how it is on most magazines:
Moving onto the Double Page Spread's I changed the numbering on both the double page spreads like I did with the contents page:
Then I focused on working on the 2nd page of my double page spread and starting with the journalism. I changed the image on my double page spread and the typography of the pull - out quote:
I then played around with the colouring and font of the pull - out quote and changed the colour of the word "respected" to gold to make it stand out and add dramatic effect:
Lastly, I focused on writing and re-structuring my article. I tried out the question and answer format however I did not like it as I felt like it did not fit the theme I was going for in my magazine, and also the style of a biographical profile was used in 2 of my case studies, Brick and Fader, and these are the ones my magazine is mostly based on therefore I thought it would be appropriate to adopt this style. This was my first attempt at restructuring my article and trying a biographical profile format:
I expanded on this throughout the lesson and this is what I had by the end:
However, as these are my first attempts at it, I will probably change it to make it better as this is only a first draft.
