Contents Page draft 1- Feedback

Based on feedback, I will now have to change the colour scheme and remove sections of red.  The image of me will be made smaller also.  The competition section will need to be smaller to fit the convention and the font for 'CONTENTS' will need to be changed to fit more with the target audience of the magazine.  Plus, I am going to add a small column for 'Reviews' which also fits with the target audience.

Contents page- Draft 1

Contents Page- Draft

This is my contents page draft.  I have included listings relevant to my target audience and the colours that I have used stand out.  Red, green and black are the main colours, however the competition section a the bottom uses yellow and light blue so that it catches the audiences attention- letting them know that it is a separate part of the page.  I feel that I have achieved an effective colour scheme and have used relevant images.  As it is a draft, I realize that some changes may need to be made or that certain things will need to be added.  I found the contents easier to design than the front cover, despite there being more to consider.  The magic wand tool is something I am beginning to find easier.  It is important that I use this to make the images look the best that they can.

Front cover draft 1- Feedback

The feedback I received on this draft was that the masthead should fill the top of the page and the image needed to be cut further and be more dominant.  Also, I was told that the font use was limited and that overall, the cover felt bare.  From this feedback, I will retake the image and widen the range of fonts.  The final cover will look different as it will look bolder and realistic.  The headline and strap line will look much more appealing as they will have a much more unique font and the colours will look virtually the same.
