Draft question 7

Cover: This is a comparison between my college magazine cover and my final music magazine cover. As you can see I have changed many things. I have thought and changed the positioning of my cover lines in order for it to look more professional but also for it to fit my genre. The colour scheme is also improved because I have thought more about the colour contrasting between the background and the cover lines. It is now a lot more put together than my college magazine was. I played around with photoshop when creating my music magazine as I already knew what improvements I had to make from my college magazine, and how to use the features in order to make it more appealing.

The cover lines on my college magazine were boring and not appealing whereas, I have changed this in my music magazine and made it more interesting and catching. The colour scheme of my college magazine was not great because the colours were not bold enough and it was hard to read the cover lines. However, for my final product I chose a colour scheme which was easy to read and it was bold enough to stand out and attract the reader.

There are clear improvements on the mast head. The college magazine mast head was boring and was made in photoshop, it didn’t look professional or appealing. Whereas, the masthead on my music magazine was made on Illustrator and it was customized In order to make It look like a real magazine and it was much more appealing and fit my genre a lot better.

Contents: There are also clear improvements from my college magazine to my music magazine contents page. However, I kept a very similar layout because I think it looks professional and it was well structured. Even though the layout was the same/similar, I have changed the positioning of the images in order to make it look more put together and go well with my magazine. The colour scheme is very bold and simple but it looks professional and it looks well thought about. The bottom of the page was changed from my college magazine to my final product as on the college magazine there was a lot of empty space and it looked unfinished. You can see that I have added stuff such as the social media logos in order to make it more attractive and to avoid any blank space. The images on my college magazine were stretched and it made it look like an amateur magazine, whereas, I have changed this in my final product and the images are not stretched and better positioned.

Overall, I have made many improvements from my college magazine to my final product which was the music magazine.
