Changes After Audience Consultance

Rebecca Paterson

Front Cover

Made the title of the magazine bigger so it is more eye catching.

I have changes the font of the bigger text to a more appropriate font to fit in better with the magazine genre. I also changed the pull quote so that the magazine had a better tone to it.

I have changed the sticker layout, I think that the new version looks a lot more effective and professional than before I think that wording has also improved.

When looking at other magazines the date and price are often by the barcode, I moved this to fit in with other similar magazines.

I have changed the alignment of the text along the right hand side I think it looks neater and more professional, it didn’t look as effective going along the outline of the tree putting it to the left has made it look less clustered and messy.

Contents Pages

I have aligned the number properly and made all the numbers one colour to make the magazine look more professional.

I changed the effects on the frames from a bevel to a drop shadow, I thought that this made the photos look better and didn’t take away from the images like the bevel did.

I looked at other magazine editors notes, some had lines on so it looked like note paper, I thought that this convention added well to my magazine because of the use of lines I have already used, it makes my magazine contents page look professional and a good use of conventions.

I aligned the text and changed the font to keep a running theme like the front cover, it makes it appear professional and also neater .

I changed the font of the heading to keep in theme with the front cover fonts and the font makes it look more effective as an indie magazine.

Double Page Spread

I changed the font and placement of the pull quote I think it looks better in the corner it compliments the image.

I changed the effects on this text instead of a bevel I used a drop shadow it makes the text stand out more on top of the image. I added a page number

I changed the font , layout and size of the title, I looked at other magazines and from my audience feedback I found that having the artist name was more common then an actual title, I think it looks more professional and tidier in the page.

I changed the size and position of the image, I think that it looks less squashed and neater so that you can easily see all the information that the audience needs.

I changed the format so that the picture covers one page and the text covers the other, it looks more effective and is more efficient.
