My own magazine - finished product

This is the final product of my magazine task, I have completed the front cover, Contents and double page spread in a way which I believe is suitable for publication, below I will be mentioning any final touches made to each segment of the magazine.

 Front cover:

• Changed the name from 'double move' to 'second-self' I think that second self is a more suitable name for cover artists who are twins, it's also vague and easy to the ear.
• Added a bit more to the 'behind the success of...' cover line, this is because mentioning the fact that there are more artists make it more likely for a target audience to purchase the magazine.
• Added more depth to the masthead, before it looked plain and thin, by adding another layer it carries meaning and becomes aesthetically pleasing. 

Contents page:

• removed the picture from the dps and added another one of the location photography images as a replacement 

Double page spread:

• removed the 'PRICEY' header and changed it into a different version of the masthead (matched to the colour scheme of the page)
• minor changes to the interview content, last question relates to the page background so that the audience will know why it is there
• Added page numbers at the bottom
• Moved the 'PRICEY header so it is at the end of the article, I also moved the image of the artist so that it could give enough space for one more question and answer so that the page looks like it has more content overall

My own magazine #5

At this point, my magazine it pretty much complete, I have the overall layout set and the only differences I need to make now would be very minimal, for example:

• Changing the image on the contents page so that it is not the same as the one on the double page spread
• Changes to the interview content, i'll redesign the last question so that it is not as short and boring
• Changes to the images if possible, specifically making the edges look curved, straight edges make it look obvious that the picture was just placed and resized (DPS and Contents)
• Probably change the name of the cover artists to something more suited towards the magazine.
• Adding another layer to the masthead on the front cover so that it looks more 'full' and visible, similar to the contents page.

My own magazine #4 double page spread focus

This lesson I mainly focused on the double page spread, this is because it was the section of the magazine that required the most attention.

changes made during this session:

• background changed into large image
• lettering - white for answers and blue for questions/title. 
• grey background added into textbox so that text becomes more visible
• social media links added
• picture of main star added on the bottom right

future changes to be made:

• reposition of main stars image, possibly try to make the corners less 'obvious'
• may add a masthead to the double page
• page numbers need to be added
• any other changes to magazine will be mentioned

my own magazine #3

This lesson I was able to make improvements and changes to my magazine. The things I changed from each of the three parts were:

front cover:

• new colour scheme, changed from black/white/gold to black/grey/red.
• complete renovation of the masthead, no longer gold, font changed from forte to agency FB
• moved masthead behind the model

contents:

• removed masthead and added new design
• added grey shadow  to give depth to the masthead and contents banner
• added more images to the page and removed lines around each section. makes it look more professional.

Double page spread:

I just started the double page spread and these are the segments I must add for it to be complete:

• Background image 
• Any colour issues made by the background will be addressed
