Contents page 5th draft

In this attempt the amendments I have made are that all the pictures on the left hand side of the page they are also tilted slightly from different corners. I have also added black lines between each subheading these help to divide up the sup heading making them more easily accessible.
To further develop my contest page I will need to find a male artist to put in the contents page as at the moment my magazine is neglecting the male target audience. However it can be argued that males are enticed to buy the magazine as the women will appeal to them.

Contents page 4th draft

I this draft I have changed the layout as the pictures are mainly on the left now unlike previously where they were on the right also I have removed the image of the guy and girl together and replace it with another picture of a girl stuck in a painting.

Contents page 3rd draft



Here I have again altered the layout to make it more easily accessible an editorial has also been added along with a smaller version of my front cover followed by more images.
To improve I would edit the images more by adding effects and correct any spelling or grammatical errors .

Contents page 2nd draft

In this draft I have altered the layout from the previous draft, I have also written up some more copy with page number. There are also more pictures now.
To improve I could write an editorial and include a small picture of my front cover, also I could change the background as it is very overpowering at the moment, perhaps the backgrounds could be the same as the front covers background as it will show consistency through the magazine.

Contents page 1st draft



In this draft I have established a layout and suggested spaces for images to be placed I have also started to write some of the copy.
To improve draft I will consider changing the background colour and begin to collect images to fill up the empty gaps, I should also finish writing up the copy along with page numbers.

Production log


Having now completed my front cover I will begin with my content and double page spread. During this week I have given in my first draft article, made corrections and it has not been re-submitted for my teacher to have a finial check. The difficulties I had faced when constructing my front cover was taking the write image, and because of this i had to take so many pictures, as many images did not suit, whereas other were blurry. I plan to take this on board when constructing my contents page and double page spread.

Third Draft Front Cover

Here I have developed my front cover further by adding a price and changing the front of my sell lines so it is better suited to magazine. However I believe I still need to make amendments as my teacher has spotted some spelling errors which I will rectify.

Second Draft Front Cover


In this draft I have changed the background colour form green to white, because I felt that the green was too over powering and after testing numerous other backgrounds found that a simple plain white background would be most effective. From the previous daft I came to a conclusion that the image was not rite so I decided to change it, I then cut this new image out and added a shadow to it. I have also added and moved around some of the sell lines around the image, I also changed the colours and font of these sell lines.
To improve this draft I will try to find a more suited font for the sell line and also experiment more with the backgrounds as when white looks plain.

First Draft Front Cover



Here I have constructed the first draft of my front cover but I feel amendments can be made on the background. I also feel that I could use more sell lines and perhaps try using a different picture that are more neatly cut out for instance the centre is not cut out properly so the back is not seen. It also lacks some key features such as a website address and the price.
