Changes made from my draft to my final magazine/ Market research..

A lot of changes were made from the development of my draft into my final magazine. From the feedback I got back, I knew a lot could be improved on. The key changes were the colour scheme, images, layout techniques and skills I used with the software, fonts and the positioning of the features. The magazines are both very different and I think the advice I got and changes I made, made a massive improvement. By looking at magazines that I liked and related to, helped me because I understood how to lay out the features to make it look more like a real magazine. The colour scheme is a lot more effective and is consistent throughout each page. The red, blue, white and black works well together and complements the font and images. I think the magazine flows well together in my final magazine because the colour scheme makes each page very similar and it is clear that it is an 'AMPLIFY' magazine. The style masthead has also improved from my draft version because it did lack impact and needed to be bolder. For my final version I used a simple font but it was a lot bolder and suited the layout and theme of my music genre and image. This related to other conventional magazines as they use simple fonts as well so that the focus is just on the main image. I improved the article because the answers and questions could be improved. It is now more enjoyable to read and relates to other magazines I researched such as Classic Rock and Kerrang. The main improvement that needed to be made to my article is that it needed to be longer and more relevant to my music genre. I did this by researching more Rock artists and looking at style questions from other magazines. My draft version lacked impact to the reader because it was very flat and basic. The layout needed improving along with skills with Photoshop which could improve the quality. My final magazine has a bigger impact because all pages work well together. This is down to the consistent colour scheme, improvement of image choice and the layout.To make my magazine have more impact I would maybe look at more magazines to gain more ideas and inspiration to make my magazine more realistic. The three main changes that I made to my draft was layout, the colour scheme and the images. I also changed the artist on my double page spread but kept the same name. My final magazine is more effective because I looked at style models and fonts to see how the other features could be improved.
