Front cover: This is my final production of my front cover, i have made changes to layout and different aspects of my front cover. Firstly I have made changes to to my main image. The first ever draft of my front cover had a stretched out front cover which i changed by adding a border around my front cover of my magazine going against conventions of house music magazines however after doing further research after carrying out my evaluation I have decided to follow conventions by having a main image that fills the entire page. It is a way so that my artists head could go slightly over the mastehad of my magazine. This is a huge convention to follow on the front cover of a house music magazine and many other genres too use this feature. It is a way of making my artists the main subject of the front cover. I think ti makes my front cover appear more professional and the quality has been massively improved where eveyrhting fits into place. I have improve4d the quality of the equalisers on my masthead by sharpening them even more and using the magic wand tool to erase any white sections this has massively increased the quality of my mtashead making it appear more attractive and appealing. I have moved my coverlines so that they are on the one side of the page as i want my artist to be the main subject of my front cover, with anything covering her it will only affect this. The coverline above my anchorage text i have changed by changing it to exclusive interview instead of 2 page spread as i felt this sounded more professional. I have improved the plug of my magazine by creating a plug that was more fit to my genre. Using a plug that hangs on the edge of my front cover follows conventions of magazines of different genres which i found from doing further research. I have created this plug that is almost like a flag to create a more interesting design, i have used the same information however i have added a page number to it too so that readers view it as accessible. I have moved my barcode and date to the left coroner, adding in the nocturnal website too. I have used this because it is a way of allowing my music magazine to expand into other industry's such as the Internet. By doing this i can widen my audience and appeal to my audience more. These 3 aspects also looked better placed here. The text above my masthead that was "the uks dance and clubbing magazine to read" has been improved by saying "the Uk's No.1 house music magazine" as i think this represents my magazine better, and sounds more professional.
Contents page: I have made improvements to my contents page by adding and altering certain aspects which were not explained in much detail since my last blog post on my contents page. The nocturnal logo has been added to my contents page in order to make my audience more aware of my magazine. I have added the date to m,y contents page. I have changed the layout by moving the image of student Jacob to the left corner in order to add a different feature on my artist. This is so that readers are really starting to get to know Vicky G all the way through my magazine as in my previous contents page in my evaluation their was only an image of her and a page number. I have changed text colour for the main features and kept a different and darker colour font for the other features in my magazine in order to make my layout clearer and also easier to read.
Double page spread:
Since my last blog spot on my double page spread I have moved my pull quote so that it doesn't cover Vicky G in order to make her the main subject, I don't want anything to get in the way of the artists face.
