Here is my finished magazine. I did an interview with the band and wrote up an article about their story. I am quite proud of this magazine much more than the College one as I have took care and time with it and think it looks rather professional. I like the use of colour, orange on black, as it stands out well whilst fitting with my chosen house style.
Cover - I like how there is an orange section at the side, acting as a background for the cover lines, however this could be improved by fading the edges so it blended into the cover image. I like how the band name is placed on the page as it stands out well.
Contents - I am really proud of how this turned out, I really like the way the contents fades over the picture with the picture relating to the main article in the magazine. I also like how the text is all aligned down the right hand side of the page leaving the rest for pictures. I could improve on the plugs at the bottom of the page and make them a little more professional.
Double page spread - I like the way the pictures have been presented on the page and took this idea from previous double page spreads that I have looked at. I edited ther pictures to give them more of a professional look however some turned out better than others. To improve this I could have added the bands name on the page giving it a title so people know they are looking at the correct thing. I could also have changed the layout of the text as it looks like a lot of text in one small space with big pictures just looming around it.
Overall I really like how the magazine has turned out even though there is room for improvement
The majority of my progress in making the magazine is backed up in my scrapbook
