music magazine pages



changes i have made according to audience feedback

front cover-

i have made the cover lines clear and easy the read, i have done this my moving them around so they
we not all munched together, i have also changed the font in the middle for the bands name because it was suggested that it looked odd, but i think the font i have picked now is more appropriate.

contents page-

i have moved everything around, i have put a page number on the photo so it doesn't look like a random photo also i have put the 'hello readers' part at the top so that i connects to the reader as soon as they look at the contents page in the magazine i have also change the font sizes on my articles.

double page spread-

there was nothing suggested to me that i needed to change

double page artical side 2 audience response via facebook


Emma Barnett Not bad, not bad .. :D got a good emo-esque theme, and I like the splash of blue font
 
  • Sophie Lane I like the double page spread and cannot find any faults :)
     
  • Sophie Jet Kanzler I like it, the black looks great with the blue font, text is laid out nicely and easy to read (:
     
  • Arno Bryant Faultless! Honestly I've tried ;) Easy to read , got that professional look , love the font :3 WELL DONE! :)

    Sophie Lane I like the personal "hello readers" section but I don't think the font is very clear and shouldn't be on top of the image. It looks a bit clustered



  • Emma Barnett Yeah, I love the hello readers thing, it instantly connects with the reader :D but you might want to rearrange the layout a bit, like put the hello readers box at the very top and then put alice's face underneath, then 'hello readers' box would look more effective and connect with the reader's gaze quickly. But tbf, the large image of Alice's face looks kinda random as there is no info about her or any tag lines.

  • Beth Oliver I agree with both Sophie and Emma but I think it looks good :)

  • Arno Bryant Like the 'Hello Readers' , Maybe crop out /*use clever computer magic out* the picture of the computer so it doesn't look to 'School-y' :) Need to rearrange the layout to get rid of hyphen and line up the 'extra' and 'Profiles' boxes.Maybe play with the fonts sizes , Larger headings and smaller contents? Love the heading/photo! :')

    hannah barnett's respoce to the front cover, contents page and double page spread-
    "Front cover-You may want to move the cover lines in slightly
    Contents page-Reposition image so it doesn't overlap the side text
    Double page-Check the spelling and grammar
    Everything else is great :)"

    front cover  facebook response



    Sophie Lane this is really good but I think some of the cover lines could be made more clear


  • Emma Barnett I really like it and especially the title font and the colour scheme, but perhaps space out the little sub headings a little clearly, so they're not so bunched up at the bottom :)

  • Sophie Jet Kanzler The font you've used looks really good the layout looks pretty realistic, maybe edit the image in photoshop/colours/contrasts/balance so the colours look exaggerated, retro or something? :D And I think 'Chronicles' is spelt wrong >_>

  • Beth Oliver This is brilliant!! :D

  • Arno Bryant This is honestly really good! :) Just ; Get rid of the white line at the left o.O , Maybe change the 'yellow snow' look thing on the main title text , just looks abit odd. Maybe move the 'first adition sticker' doesn't look quite right? . And need to change the 'price' block , if you look at real mags it'll just have the "£4" in the bar-code box. (Maybe add some other prices in other currencies just to add to the overall allusion of professionally ? ) :')

  • Alice Roe This is great sophie, my only criticsm for this would be is how theres alot of space on the right hand side of the front cover which isn't being used.. i'd suggest making the content information slightly bigger aswell
