After producing my draft front cover, I new a lot of things could be changed and improved. Firstly my masthead was very weak and needed to be more relevant to the genre of my magazine. The colours didn't work well together and the font was poor. It needed to be bolder because it doesn't have a big enough impact.The colour scheme also needs changing because the colours contrast too much and are not realistic because they are not commonly used in other conventional magazines. The features need to be more definite and bolder and I don't like the logo and where it is positioned. I may not have a logo on my final magazine because it takes away the focus from other features. I will also change the image because I am having a different artist for my double page spread.
I will also change the image on this page as well. I don't like the use of the drumsticks because they are unrealistic and uncommon in other magazines. The layout is also very weak so I will look at style models from other magazines I get inspiration from. I also need to change the images because I don't think they are positioned correctly on the page. The cutting out could be better and boxes would work better.
For the double page spread I need to make my interview longer. I need to cut down my first paragragh and improve the answers and questions. The layout is better on these pages although improvements can still be made. The images will also need to be changed as I am changing the artist and the cutting out must also be improved. The pages also lack impact so images must be experimented with. I will also use more colour and look at style models for more ideas.
