Contents page draft

This is the draft for my contents page. I think this is ok but the writing doesn't look very good or stand out enough, nothing really grabs your attention. I also think that adding Beat, the name of the magazine, at the top will look good as it will show brand identity.

Feedback

"I like the way you are going with this idea, but I think it still needs a lot of work on the writing."

"I like the image and the way that the writing follows the bricks in the background"

"I think that you need a background behind the writing to make it stand out more"

Improvements

• I am going to add a background behind the writing to make it all stand out more because on this draft you don't really pay much attention to it.
• I am going to add beat at the top to show brand identity.
• I am going to change the colours and outlines of some of the writing to make it stand out more.

Double page spread - draft

This is my draft for my double page spread. I like the left hand side of the page, I put an image on which takes up the full side of the page and I think this works really well. I also like the title which is layered over the top of the image. I think the other side of the double page spread needs some work on it. The black lines in between the writing doesn't really work and I think that I need to stick too only two colours for the writing so that it doesn't look to much. I also need to fill up the blank space more by adding an image and moving the quote to a different part of the page.

Feedback

"I like the layout of the page, I just think the side with the writing is a bit plain and needs more work"

"I think that the image looks good, maybe move the quote onto the side with the image or make it smaller"

"I like it, I just think you need to fill in the space above the writing."

Improvements

• I am going to make the side of the page with the writing on it more interesting by adding more images and changing the black lines between the text for something else.
• I am going to make the introduction to the text stand out more.
• I am also going to add more text as at the minute I only have a few questions and I think it needs re writing.
