finished magazine analysis - double page spread



I felt this page was successful, though it could have been made better with more images and colours. I should have included more yellow as that is part of the colour scheme throughout, though seems to be forgotton here.
I feel the page looks boring, as there is too much text and not enough images.
In future, i should learn to take more pictures, as i found, throughout making my magazine, i was in need of more pictures. In future i must make sure i take a significant amount more pictures of a varity of different things, rather than just my three models.

finished magazine analysis - cotents page




I felt this page was more successful than the front page, and i liked the images i used.
This page was the most similar to my plan.
I also felt the colours used on the contents box made the page stand out.
I found this page most successful.

finished magazine analysis - front page



I feel the front page looked bare and unprofessional.
This could have been improved by adding more images.
It also could have advertisement, and more cover lines. As there are only two, it would not attract many readers.
By adding more cover lines, images and advertisment, my front page could have been made more successful.
I feel that it did not come out as well as it could have. I felt this page came out worst.

small changes to my magazine

I changed the text on my double spread, as mentioned in my last blog.

It orginally looked like -













i changed it to -














I feel this helped to get rid of the needless space.


I also added page numbers, and my price and issue number on my front page.
I tried to get rid of any careless errors, such as spelling, and overall checked the quality of my work.

adding a barcode

After my magazine had all been put together, i then found a bar code on google images, and copied it into my work, in order to make it look like a genuine magazine.
