Development of Double Page

These were my final drafts, before I got my final pictures. I found that they looked too armature for my final idea so I decided to have a high quality image dominated my final product as it would make it look more conventional.  

Front Page Development

This was my final draft of my Front Cover. I didn't change it much when I added in my final images as I felt that it already had a good structure and layout. All that I had to do was to move the text a bit to fit around the new image.

This was the first original trial for my music magazine front page. I felt the chosen font was good but I felt even using red didn't help it resemble blood, so in my final idea I decided to change it to black as it was easy to read and fit the house style of my final magazine. I also decided that it would be best to discard the background as I felt it made my magazine look very noisy difficult the read as the only words that would be readable is my masthead. 

Early Stages of Contents Page

With these early drafts, i wanted to experiment with the basic layout of my contents page as I felt that it would be a good method for me ensuring that all of my proportions are correct with suitable image sizes, text sizes etc. I found that I boxy layout for my contents page would be best to ensure that everything is spaced equally and looks right. As I had so many different elements that I planned to put in, I found that pages guidelines and margins were very helpful as anything that I inserted clipped to the lines and were equal with anything clipped to the same line.
