Changes made to my front cover

+The changes I will make to my front cover will include changing the title text type, this is because from through Audience feedback, they said that the text type should be more suited towards a hip-hop magazine styling instead or a rap styling.

I also decided to change the banner laying just under half way across the page. As I thought it looked a bit tacky.

+On this front cover I have kept the layout very similar to my pervious front cover, due to my target audience liking the layout. I also kept where the text about each article would go to maintain a a balance.

However, I did change the colour scheme from red, black and white to a purply tinned grey, white and yellow. I used these colours because they are very complementary with each other.

I also included images that relate to to genre of hip-hop and rap which were money and gold (Bling) …..

Changes made to my contents page

+I like this contents page, however I don’t think it matches the same standard as my front cover. In my new contents page I kept the location of the ‘contents’ in the same place but I changed the way the text was laid out to all on one side.

+

I carried the same colour scheme from the front cover into the contents page to maintain a balance and to show that they are all linked together through the use of the same artist appearing ion the front cover and in the contents page.

The use of the text being on one side of the artist’s head being on the other balances the page out. That is what I think was wrong with my other contents page because the image of the artist was very small compared to the one on this contents page.

Changes made to my double page spread

+

I think that this double page spread is a bit boring and dull - “ there isn’t much going on the page which catches my eyes”. From my target audience, they said that more things needed to be on the page otherwise they wouldn’t feel like it was a part of the magazine.

Audience feedback --- “ This double page spread is a lot better than the one before, as the colours are more eye-catching and I like the layout of text as it isn't a normal convention of a typical rap magazine. On the other hand, I do think that there could be more images etc. on the page” Charlotte aged 17.
