My music magazine, double page spread draft

My double page spread has undergone slight changes compared to the contents page and front cover. Here all I have dine is simply add my own picture and re-arrange some text. The only problem I can see looking at it is that the left hand page looks good because it isn't all that cramped with text. However if you look at the right hand page you notice that the paragraphs are a lot closer together because of the photo. I will try to address this measure but unless it is pointed out, you don't particularly notice this.

My music magazine, Final Contents page draft

This my first draft of my final contents page. Again I have added my own picture to the layout rather than have another one on the page. and as I have said on my last post, I have continued to change its appearance to make it more conventional and keeping in similar theme with the front cover. I think to improve this further, I should include a background behind the band because it takes over the page having just a blank background but its close to completion.

My Music magazine, final front cover draft

This is my magazine with my photograph on it, not only have i changed the appearance in terms of the photo, but I have also changed its layout slightly. Now at the top of the page underneath the masthead, there is a white line separating the masthead from the page and another one separating the logo from the masthead, obviously the only reason for this change is because of aesthetical looks and I will try to replicate this effect throughout both my contents page and double page spread. I have also made up the name for my band, they are called "the undisputed". this is the draft version of my final front cover so I will change it slightly more because it looks a little bit unfinished and bare. However that is very similar to how I planned my front cover to be.

Drafts of final products introduction

The next posts will be the drafts to my fnal products. they will (unlike my last products posted) include my own photos and they will be changed slightly as well.

My music magazine- Double Page spread second draft

The difference I have made to this page that is different from the last one is that I have made the introductory text larger, this is conventional in magazines because when in a rush, some people just want to read what is happening in one paragraph rather than read the whole article. Also i did this because i though a bit of space was being wasted and it made the rest of the page look to cramped in comparison, so by not having large gaps on the page, readers won't think it was an error or waste of page space.
