Contents page after re-work

This is the result of my contents page after I drew a second drawing plan to make adjustments. When I was actually doing it I also made changes to colours of text. I changed the title 'contents' from black to lilac, but then realised the lilac was a bit light for the contents so I changed it further to a gradient of dark blacks, purples an reddish browns. I originally planned to have all my page headings the same colour but I alternated with deep purple to bright red back to deep purple. I made the text box with the editors comment inside, a lilac colour so it stood out but didn't clash with the rest of the page, just keeping the text inside a simple black. I tried out navy blue for the text but it didn't look good. I also originally had headphones slightly coming into the page at the top right across the end of 'contents' but I decided to scrap them as they looked tacky and out of place.

Up to date draft of contents page

This is the drawing draft I completed for my contents page after the first draft. This is where I made changes, as lots of elements in my first draft were weak. I made sure my main text in the kind of mid centre is in line an not all out of place everywhere. I made captions for the pictures seperate an moved them next to the picture, instead of all together in the bottom right hand corner. I cut down my 'comment from the editor' as it was taking up a lot of my page an looked messy so I tidied it up. I used a text box also to make it stand out on the page. I also put my certain page numbers under specific headings. I benefited from this as each page with related stories are under the same heading so if someone was looking specifically for gigs they could look at the heading gigs an events an see which pages they are on. It's made my contents page look alot more professional, how ever it still needs some more work.

First drawing draft of contents page

This was my first drawing draft of my contents page. Since creating it like this I have made changes an I still have ideas to change it more.

Adjustments to DPS

Our first draft of all parts of our music magazine was due in Friday 15th of Feburary. We got our feedback today and i have made adjustments to my DPS as certain elements were weaker than others. The first image was my first draft, the second image is my DPS which iv made further adjustments to. I changed the colour of the background of the question and answer boxes from dark purple to lilac, so that the text is easier to be seen. I also changed the colour of the quote in the center of my DPS page from red to deep purple, as the red no longer went with the lilac and also the change to deep purple with the lilac was a contrast. I also added 'stroke' onto the quote so it was easy to read and stood out, especially when it comes across my image on the far right.

Question and answer plan sheet for interview

These are the questions i came up with to use on my DPS. This benefited me because i was organised and i had the questions infront of me, instead of spending ages fiddling about without a plan. I chose 15 questions, as i thought this was a fair amout and i didnt want to take up to much room.

First drafts for music magazine

This Is my first draft of my front cover. I have made lots of adjustments since I started the process an re-arranged pictures and text ect. The second photo is the draft of my contents page. I still have lots of things I want to add an change with it but its looking a lot better than when I first started. I need to think about using my audience profile to help make it look more appealing. Finally my last photo is the draft for my DPS, an I am pretty happy with this so far. It's exactly what my drawing draft looked like an it all went well together. Throughout my first draft in all three sections iv kept the house style the same, using a max of four fonts across the whole magazine.

DPS picture so far

I have taken my interview scenario picture for my DPS but I still have to take one more, which will be a long shot of my model acting out singing. I took lots so that I had a good amount to choose from, the first picture is the one I'm going to use.
