My Full Changes:
After a few days of attempting to render my design and piece to get a good mark, I realised that my whole idea was needing to be changed. This meant that I would need to take photographs of some new people, and change my design, colour scheme and images a lot.
Final cover changes:
My new cover looks a lot better than the old one, I implemented ideas from my old idea, and new ideas to create this. I have used peer assessment to change the piece which I feel is for the better. The main image I feel is very dominating, and the black and white effect makes it seem even more so. I also feel that the main cover line works very well and works together with the quotation. To do this, I used '1001freefonts.com' and searched for "edgy" looking fonts. I then added a 'stroke' effect to give it a black outline. I lessened the stroke effect when doing it on the quotation as the artists name is the main section of this. I also used another photo of Matt which I got to look up at the main artist, which I feel works together quite well. For his name I also used a 'stroke' feature to add an effect on his name, this time, I made the stroke section silver. I adjusted the text around him to go around his body. I kept the red line at the bottom of the page as that is one of the things I liked about my first draft. I also kept the "EXCLUSIVE" section but made it go straight across the bottom, rather than in columns. After more research on different magazines, I noticed that plugs have an impact on the reader. Therefore, I have put in a circle with a plug inside to draw attention to all areas of my cover.
Final contents changes:
My contents page has changed the least of the three pieces. However, I have added several new additions to this. One of these being the 'Editors letter' which I have written a brief overview of the magazine as a whole. For the actual list of contents I have changed the 'main' sections to a golden colour, this draws attention to these and will show the reader that these are the important things. The two main artists have also got a little section next to their photos to give the reader another part of information to attract them to buy the product. I have kept the large 'CONTENTS' section down the right hand side of the page, as I feel that works very well with the title of my magazine. These have the 'stroke' effect on them, like several layers on the cover, as I feel the effect makes anything it is applied to stand out.
Final double page spread changes:
I think my double page spread has come out very well, I kept the same idea as my original but have changed the structure, to a positive effect. I decided to keep the Q&A style, and kept the twitter idea with it. However, I put in the page break, so I knew what would be cut off, and used it to my advantage, by putting the 'Tone Asks' layer across the line, I also made sure the title of 'Mol' Simpson' wouldn't be cut. I made sure the body text was in columns, and they didn't overlap. I like the two pull quotes, one in the middle of the article, one at the start to keep the intensity going. I like the simple colour scheme, which I primarily black, white and grey, but has occasional strikes of red, which I feel work very well in using the simplicity.
