Final Drafts

Here are my final drafts of my Front Cover, Contents Page and Double Page Spread. on the Front cover I have flipped the gradient and put the masthead onto one line and moved the logo. on my Double page spread I have increased the amount of questions and added another photo.

Double Page Spread Draft

Here is the first draft of the double page spread. I decided to put lines in between the paragraphs to help readers follow the article. I have also added a line in the middle to differentiate the two pages

DOLBY

Good to see some drafts here Jamie. I think the font choices and colour schemes as well as images give a clear sense of genre and purpose. I would look at: making the font for straplines easier to read, Making the quality (lighting in particular) of the images better- they are grainy and could be higher spec; the masthead is taking up too much room- I would make the name of the mag on one line only as is the convention.

First Drafts

Here are a couple drafts of my front cover both with and without the images on as to see the difference in layout between the two. Beneath those is the first draft of my contents page. the colour scheme that was used has been consistent.

Jamie there is lots of research here, now what you need to do is start posting your initial drafts so that you can show the progression in your work .

Contents Page Plan

Here are a few ideas for the layout of my contents page. There aren't very many layouts as I think I have my mind set on the first idea.

Front Cover Plan

Here are some of the ideas that I have had about the layout of my Front cover. I am going to try each layout and see if there are any variations of it that may also work. I may end up using different aspects of the layouts in one and see how that works.

Progress Update

For the last week I have been working on the front cover of my magazine. I have been experimenting with a few fonts and layouts of the cover and I am getting close to a layout I like. I haven't yet taken any photos but I am at the point where I can and I know how it should look when they are done.
