Contents Final

This is my final contents design, although some elements of it displease me, overall i'm happy with the final design.

Contents Page Draft #3

Out of all three of my drafts, this i'd say is the strongest one i did, and although some elements of it do look quite messy, i still think it came out well. For this one i took inspiration from "Q" magazine, and this one turned out much better than the first draft did.

Contents Page Draft #2

This is easily the weakest of my drafts as i really didn't have a very good idea on what to do with this one, so it came out looking like this.

Contents Page Draft #1

 
This was the first draft I developed, for this one i took inspiration from the magazine "Empire" although it didn't turn out of well as I hoped, but i still think it turned out quite well for a first draft

A lot of the feedback i got was complimentary on the unique style of the magazine and the photoshop skills, but one of the main focuses was to alter the text and model used in the images to make them look more conventional, so this I will do.

I have reviewed your blog, and I think it is overall up to a good standard. Your drafts are really different and your editing skills are really good. Your font overall is really good and clear. I think you are up to date, and there aren't many improvements you can do. I think you have all the elements needed to create a good magazine, and you've used them well.

I think that this blog is good becasue it includes a behind the scenes video and other things that were extra.

The strengths of this front cover are the colour scheme that stays the same throughout the cover and it looks professional.

I think that the front cover might look even better if the image wasnt in black and white.

I like how your blog is set out and how everything is very clear and how you have described what you like about the images you have taken and what you dont like. Your final front cover is good with a clear masthead and pull quotes but you could change the date and issue number so it is straight instead of digonal as it would be more conventional.

  • The blog is good and I like the dark mysterious background. On the front cover I like the title because the style of it is like youtube. I also like the glow around the model. Could have more features int the magazine as well.

A lot of information. The front cover is inventive, I liked the main header 'a new year, new music'

I like your set out of your blog, some texts may be too small to read but you have used different ways to bring out the information for example a video, powerpoint and images.
I like your final front cover but looking at some of the other images you have used, i think you could of changed the image to a stronger one, but the other parts of the front cover look well presented and i like what you have named the magazine it works well with the genre.
