Feedback received

Below is the feedback I received for my magazine.

From the feedback that I received on my magazine, I found out that what attracted people to my magazine was mostly the photography. I feel that I done a good job on the photography. Overall the improvements that I could work on are the images to be the same colour. I however wanted the photography to be a mixture as I already had a strong colour scheme of 3 colours, I felt that if I included all of the images to be in colour it would cause too much of a colour clash. The changing of my masthead was a good decision. As stated above the masthead is bold and it stands out. That is what I wanted.

Final 3 pieces of magazine

 This is my final cover.
I have changed many aspects of it. First off, I added yellow to the cover as it was included in the DPS and I wanted the magazine to be consistent throughout. And I also changed the size and position of the main cover line. 

 This is my final contents page. I have added points of yellow to make the words that are the most important stand out. 

This is my final double page spread. I have stuck to the same colour scheme of yellow, red, and white. I also sorted out the pull quote on the left hand side of the page. I made the font size a little larger so that it can be seen. 

Production of DPS

First off I started by adding an image to the left hand side of the page. I also added the names of the two artist at the top of the page. 

I wanted to add a pull quote because I wanted my magazine to look as professional as possible. To stay close to my colour scheme, I highlighted the most important word in yellow. 

I am now adding to my magazine. 

I have made the question on the DPS to be in red and the answer in white. 

I have now completed my DPS and I am happy with it. 

Production of Contents

I have started off my contents by adding pictures ad titles to the left hand side of the page. I want to add the writing to the right hand side as I feel that that's the side that readers will read first. I have opted for the colour scheme of yellow white and red. And a mixture of black and white images alongside full colour images.

Adding to the page.

I have now completed the Regulars and Featured section and have added a 'subscribe' information box to the bottom of the page. This is to attract more of an audience. 

Adding the writing to the images. ( Goes with the images) 

I have made sure I highlighted the most important words in yellow. My contents page is now complete. 

Production of cover

I have started over. I have decided to create each word in a different layer on photoshop because it becomes easier for me to move the words to the position I want. I decided to change my teasers, masthead, and cover line to red. As my audience are young, I wanted a vibrant yet sophisticated colour. I felt that by changing the teasers to red and white, and creating individual layers for them it makes it look much more professional.

I have now started to add teasers to my magazine cover. 

I have now added my main coverline. I have also changed the position of my main cover line I felt that previously it was too low an it should be at atleast eye level.

I changed the last teasers position a little to the left, I felt that it may look better but I have changed my mind. 

I changed the teaser back to the left hand side of the page. I felt that it looked slightly out of place so I have positioned it more towards the left so it is in line with the other teasers. Also you can see that on the previous screen shot, the colour and contrast was slightly lighter. I felt that I needed to changed it and make the picture a little darker and the red to be a little darker. 

I decided to add yellow to the main cover line. I feel that by doing this the most important word is highlighted. It doesn't take the whole attention away from the main cover line which is good. 

I have now started to add yellow to the important words in the teasers. 

This is my completed cover. 

Magazine Production

This is what I have so far. I have added the masthead and have started to add the teasers on the left hand side of the magazine. I have decided to keep the masthead white as it looks better.

I have decided to change the teasers to a bolder font as they stand out more and I think that by keeping the masthead and teasers white, the attention will go more on the cover line which I want people to notice more.
