Drafts front cover

DRAFTS ,FEEDBACK AND FINAL

Cameron Tubb

My first stage was to add the coloured background and the correct image. I also had to adjust the size and positioning until it look suitable. I also changed the brightness and contrast of the picture.

I then added the masthead and adjusted the size so it wasn’t to big or small. But big enough it was going to make an impact.

Lastly I added the barcode in the bottom right corner and added a plug on the left hand side of the magazine with a picture to make it stand out more. I also added a tagline WOMbajak in the top left above the image.

In my seconds draft I have changed the position of “WOMbajak” .This was because in my first draft people didn’t know what it was showing. So I moved it on top of my image so you can see who WOMbajak is.

I have added some more information onto the front of my magazine to make it look a lot more professional.

I have added a tagline as well to the magazine cover. This was to draw people into magazine.

My views on the magazine so far

My first try at making a music magazine I think went really well I followed 1 of my layout plans to help me along, although I do think I could use a different one next time as it didn’t look as good as I had hoped. The house colours I had chosen work really well with each other as they contrast well and I now know that they are perfect for the type of music magazine I am making (Dubstep). The font types I also used are very nice as they are easily readable and contrasting against each other. The image I used in this magazine is taken at a good angle but the lighting wasn’t that good so I’m gong to retake my images with different lighting or maybe edit them a bit more. The masthead I have chosen for my magazine is extremely bold and is easily read and seen. So overall this has been a great first try as I have learnt to get to grips with fireworks and what I would like my magazine to look and feel like.

Some of the comments I was given were: Not enough information still Tagline is not good enough Font is not very nice on the tagline Add issue number Change font colour Resize image Move tagline and chagne font Move barcode and issue number

Feedback

More feedback was that there was to much space within the front cover and it needed to be filled up.

The colour wasn’t professional enough and needed to be changed to a more simple and less bold colour.

In this version I have changed the colour and enlarged the image to make it look more professional.

I have added another plug to make the page look more full. I have also added a banner to the bottom of the page.

I added a 3rd colour to my work as feedback from people said their was to much white. So I changed the colour of some of the text. I also changed the colour of every other plug.
