Construction- Double page spread

 

I was inspired by this magazines contents page for my design. This contents page is very spacious and easy to read. The page numbers are bold and stand out, including the ones on the images which means the audience can quickly identify the page numbers for the articles. I like how the page isn't over powered with text, so the readers don't become overwhelmed and lose interested; it makes you want to read the magazine to find out about them.  

Construction- Final draft

 

 

I changed the colour of 'The Dilemma' and 'Indiego Interviews', to make them clearer and stand out against the cover image. I only just realised that there was a typo error within my cover line ' The Killers' on my other drafts, so I corrected it.

 

I took in consideration the comments and feedback I got from the focus group and applied them to my magazine. This involved changing the colour, so my house style carrys through.

Focus Group

Last Friday I held a focus group with people from college to get feedback on my front cover and contents page. I found this really helpful as they pointed out some good points, so I'm going to make these adjustments to my magazine design and hopefully they will improve it. 

Construction- Contents page

 

         

My contents page doesn't refer back to my original flat plan because I felt that there was not enough space for text and i think that the arrangement generally doesn't work, its just not what i want. But I'm glad I didnt follow my flat plan because I'm happy with this turn out and i believe it fits in well with my indie rock theme.
