Music Magazine (Draft)

The three images below are all drafts of my music magazine, that were taken at the time of uploading this post.

At the time of posting, I have completed quite a lot of my music magazine. I have so far successfully chosen and applied the appropriate font and texts. I had selected the majority of my images and successfully edited them on the software Photoshop.

The next thing I will do is re-take my front cover image as I felt my image previously didn't come across well on a camera due to bad lighting. Once that is completed, my front cover will be almost complete. I will then align my text so that it looks professional and not amateur.

On my contents page, I will next add the final version of my front cover as part of a subscription plug to attract readers to my magazine on a long term basis. Likewise to my contents page, I will edit the headlines to ensure they are aligned appropriately. I will reposition arrows to make them coincide with my front cover as they are titled 'on the cover'.

For my double page spread, I will remove any unwanted lines around the edge as I was unable at this time to do so. By reverting back to Photoshop I will solve this problem immediately. There is also a few errors regarding spelling and punctuation which I will change once I improve my magazine. I will also reposition my pull quote as it look's segregated from the entire spread.

Feedback - Double Page Spread


My teacher has assessed my double page spread in numerous ways. He has graded my work entirely in the level 4 section. Level 4 would equate to Grade A/B.

A strength of my assessment was that I had used great conventions and a good image use. He also added that my magazine had a clear representation.

Areas to improve included moving my pull quote so that it would be more noticeable and easier for my audience to read and to possibly add a box entailing Elijah's new album.
