Final Magazine Design

This is my completed magazine, consisting of the Front Cover, Contents Page and Double Page Spread.  I have made changes and additions to all three sections and I am pleased with the finished result.  I believe that the conventions of music magazines are more identifiable with this final design and that my target audience would buy the product.

When clicking on the Double Page Spread, the article may be difficult to read.  In this case, it is best to zoom in on the page.


Front Cover

My final front cover design has changes from my second draft.  I have included a banner at the top of the page and included different, more interesting fonts for the sell lines 'Life on Mars' and 'Adele'.  The 'Hozier' and 'Perfect Score' sell line are also more interesting as they use different fonts and stand out on their own- they do not rely on support from other items on the page.

Contents Page

My final contents page applies more color to some of the listings.  I have also changed the images by adding red which matches the colour of the page numbers.  This makes people want to look at the page as often the contents page is not looked at.

Double Page Spread

I have made the article neater by aligning the introductory paragraph.  The interview is more engaging also due to the different font I have used for the pull quotes.  The headline and sub-headline on the first page has also been changed as the font and design did not look applicable to my target audience.  The new look of the double page spread definitely fits in with my audience.
