My final work
Below I have presented my complete and final work. I have made some changes that I believe have improved my magazine as a whole.
I had received some feedback that lead me on to making some changes. As the plan was to make a fashion magazine that was based on festival fashion and summer clothes. The feedback I had received was that my magazine focused on the beauty aspect more than it should of. This was evident on my double page spread.
When it came to improving my magazine I started noticing things that I knew had to change. These included, the left side of my double page spread looking as though there was too many things going on. It also did not look as though it fully related to the right hand page. I asked a few people what they thought was best to and how I would achieve making it look more like a fashion magazine than it did. The feedback that I received was that many fashion magazines they had seen were a lot more simpler and flowed more better so that I should try and achieve this with mine.
I went on to changing the left side of my double page spread as thought that the triangles with the photos in had no relevance to the rest of the page and magazine. I went and looked at magazine page layouts and noticed that many contained pictures going down the side with some text on the rest of the page. After scrolling through my photos I found that I had three photos that were a sequence of my model pulling different poses with an umbrella. After showing these to some other people I concluded that these would be perfect. I then kept the text the same with the same subheadings and rearranged them. I also got rid of the title that was on the page as felt it made it look unprofessional. I also decided to keep my main image with simply changing the subheading from ‘ Beauty ‘ to ‘ Festival Glam ‘. I feel this small change immediately changed the whole outlook of it. I feel now the double page spread looks more like a fashion magazine with the more simple look.
I also decided to change my advert page. I had always not been too keen on my advert page as its something I really struggled with. I trialled out a few different things until I cam to the design that I did. From doing research I remembered a design that was similar to what I have created. After making it I was much more happy with how it looked and thought it looked more like an advert page than what my old one did. I used the same fonts and colours for the page but presented It in a much more different way. I am now a lot more happier with how it looks.
