Here is a comparison of my College Magazine and my Music Magazine:

My Final Front Cover.

The change I made to the font cover was to replace the 'Mish Hanna' Photoshop text with the text I obtained from Dafont that is iconic of my magazine. This creates cohesion between the masthead and the features. 

My Final Contents Page.

I resized, moved and deleted one image. 

I first decided to delete one of my images to be able to create more space to put more of an emphasis of my main artist: 'Mish Hanna'. I filled the space created by the loss of an artist by adding a red text box with intentions to use it as space for a 'letter from the editor' which would reflect conventions of music magazines. 

I then put text on the polaroid boarders using Photoshop. I used a hand-written font to make it seem like the artists or photographers themselves put captions on the photos which gives it a very personal feel for the audience.  

I then copied in my 'letter from the editor' and 'features' that I have saved in Word documents. I put the features in two text boxes since I did not want the text to run over the gate fold.  

Final Magazine Double Page Spread.

I began must adjustments by adding page numbers with the 'Riot' masthead accompanying them to create cohesion with the contents page and front cover. I also grouped and moved the image of my artist and the polaroid boarder so that it seen clearer and is not obstructed by the image behind it.  

I then made an image of ripped, black paper for a boarder for my article's text. I was not whether I liked it or not. I tried to make ripped, black paper as I thought that it would fit in with the punk aesthetic of my double page spread.   

I resized it  to make it bigger, so I could fit more of my article of the first page of the feature. 

I then used Photoshop to add a white, plain square as another possible background for my text. 

Then I had two possible options to use. 

I decided to go with the white, plain square as a background and added my text onto it using Publisher. I made all of the questions the interviewer asks red and emboldened whilst making all of the replies from the artist black
