Music Magazine changes

Music Magazine changes

The changes I have made are massive compared to my first drafts of each three elements.      


I have kept the same elements the same, for example the cover lines. From feedback I received I was told to move the two cover lines on the right hand side further apart as this could cause confusion. I did this and also changed the colour so they were seperate to show the difference in the stories. I have also changed the main cover story of the 'Delilah Rose'  to a bright blue because it was less distinctive against the main image. I also decided to add two boxes above and below with the main relevant information which also shows consistency in convectional elements. 
The main pink banners were kept the same and slightly reduced as i felt that they were too thick (epesically the bottom banner). I also changed the cover stories within them to fit the music aspect for example 'win tickets to see 5 seconds of summer live in london' and added a photo which was previously taken by me from their concert.
The Barry M nail polish image was moved to the top right corner and was slanted so that it did not cover the main cover image and is a less relevant story. 
The final change i made was the main cover image as i felt that my previous image needed to be more camera facing to attract the audience. The quality of the photo was also an issue and effected the overall product.





I have also changed many elements on my contents page too and think it shows more convections of a pop magazine. For example, I have changed the way in which i have displayed the front cover image by adding smaller stars from the masthead. I then added the page number into this and this shows which cover line is what on each page via the curved arrows. 
I have added in more relevant pop music cover lines and alternating pink and orange page numbers to shows different sections of the magazine. Adjacent to the contents is two separate photography images I have taken to used as exclusive posters that will be inserted into the magazine. 
I used the blue banner to re- mention the competition on the first page to highlight the once in a lifetime opportunity of winning the competition. 





The final changes I made to the double page spread was more obvious. I decide to change the main story line and made the pull quote bigger with contrasting colours which is shown in on my main cover to show consistency. I also changed the main image which filled the space more and is shown looking towards the camera, with a smaller image inserted at the bottom left to show variety within the shoot.
