Question 1 front cover

Question 1

Final double page spread                              

(with improvements.)

Here i made improvements from my last draft, to create my final draft of my double page spread.  I made the questions in the Q & A, bold so that they stood out from the rest of the text. I made the text of the pull Quote underneath "Kathy Weaver", bigger to make it stand out and catch the readers attention.  I also added a stand at the beginning of my column to give the realistic magazine effect and to create realism within my work. I changed the page numbers to 14+15 instead of 25+26 to show continuity throughout my magazine as when writing about this story on my contents page and my double page spread i said that they were on different page numbers to what i then put them as. This also creates realism as you wouldn't have the story stated on page number 6 for example and then place it as page 14. 

   Double Page Spread.

Here is my double page spread. I really like this draft as it looks very realistic and compared to real magazines out in the industry it has similar conventions. I love the pull on the left page as it looks quirky and very eye catching. The image is clear as she is looking straight into the camera. It also fits with the layout pattern i have chosen as her arm creates continuity onto the next page put it wont look awkward once folded as it is not a central image. The Fonts work really well and by using the same house-style it creates continuity throughout my magazine and throughout the three products i have made. 

Draft 1

In this draft i like the image i have used of Kathy. I liked the grey blocks that i placed around the text however i feel that they look un-professional. This draft doesnt really look asthetically pleasing because there isnt much on the page and the structure is boring, and i know i can do better.

Draft 2

I really like this draft, and i have chosen it for my final contents page. I feel however that teh pull quotetext on the first page needs to be in a better font and more stylish. Also the column needs a stand before the Question and Answer starts.

Draft 3

I like this draft as it is very different to the others however it does not look as professional as draft 2 and so i will not be using it. The text on the first page looks weak and the picture at the bottem right of page 2 does not fit with the structure.

Final Contents page. 

I have chosen this contents draft as my final product. I feel like it is the most professional and has more to offer. The continuity from my front cover also follows through to this and it looks realistic. I have however made some slight changes to make this even better. I have added page numbers in the bottom corners of both pages to create realism and i have also placed the title of the magazine next to the page number on the first page. I saw this on an existing product and took the idea to create realism within my product. Next to the editors post on the second page i have added a photo of my self to create a personal response for the readers. The image of the band has changed as i have cut it to just the two boys as the magazine was already to feminine and i wanted to create a wider audience.
