Improvement's Wich Will Be Made To Rough Cut

There are many improvements I shall make on my rough cut from the feedback I recieved. The things I shall change to my rough cut will therefore improve my magazine and make my final magazine better in the end.

Front Cover

Feedback I recieved about the front cover, was mainly to improve the main image, stick to two or three fonts and change around the positioning of the text. Things I will change....

Change the image as this was not the photo I wanted as my main image on the front cover in the first place. When I took them its started to rain and was freezing cold therefore prevented me to get the images I wanted. So will take my images again and change the whole of my front cover. With the image going to be different the positioning of the text will therefore change which was something which needed improveing anyways. I shall also change the fonts and stick to three, to make sure it doesnt look over crowded and messy.

Content Page

The feedback I recieved about the content page was that the images were all too similar, also there was too many page numbers and that these could be cut down. Things I will change....

I will first of all get a few different models and take some new photos and get a better variety of images to place onto my content page, this will give it a better proffesional look. Also will change and delete some certain pages off the content page as people said it looked over crowded and had too many on. I am happy with how my content page is laid out however the one main thing I need to change are images.

Double Page Spread

My double page spread got feedback saying that the questions need to standout more and the titles could be more stylish. Also to go over and proof read the article. Things I shall change....

Something I will defiantly do is make the questions standout more as they just blend in with the rest of the text. I might also change the fonts to the questions and the article. Something I might also change is the titles to the article as someone said they need to be more stylish and this is something i took on board and might change. The image is going to have to be photoshopped again as i wasnt happy with the way it turned out and could be better. Overall the layout of the double page spread is someting i will stick to and just tweak around it.

Front Cover

Needs a better photo, text fonts and the positioning of it, photoshop, photo is a bit blurry and title could do with editing and be better.
Content Page
White space, all the pictures are similar, photos are repetitive and more than one model is needed.
Double Page Spread
White space, font, colour scheme and questions need to stand out.

Good Feedback From Teachers
Front Cover
Colour Scheme, like the purple and good attention to detail with barcode.
Content Page
Good layout, neat, well organised, stong use of colour and good photography.
Double Page Spread
Good idea for photo and good use of branding.

Bad Feedback From Teachers
Front Cover
Is the background of the photo appropriate for the front cover, photography needs work, be more creative, too much variation choose 2 or 3 font styles and stick to them, fonts, upper case letters needed and look at grammer- look alike (one/two words?)
Content Page
All the photos link to the same page, vary images, name of magazine needs to be bigger, the content, less pages in the magazine and check grammer.
Double Page Spread
Proof read article, sort out dropped capitals, vary fonts make the questions stand out and make title more stylish, change the fonts.

Diary Entry 10 (Handed In Rough Cut)

I've finished my rough cut and put it into the shared area to get feedback on, can't wait to start improving it and making my final thing! Here is my rough cuts final done below.

Diary Entry 9

Today I am doing some last finishing touches before it has to be handed in tomorrow. 

Diary Entry 8

I changed my Front Cover as i thought it didn't look very pop like, adding the big zig zag box at the bottom made it look more jazzy. This was on quite a few pop magazines and thought it was something I had to include on mine. 

Diary Entry 7

Last week i was ill and missed quite a few lessons therefore have these last 3 days before the hand in date. Within these 3 days I will be getting to the point where i am happy to hand in my rough draft. Cant wait to hear feedback and get my finished thing done! I think I will change a lot when it comes to editing for finished thing. For now I need to get on with my rough cut as I only have the rest of today tomorrow then a few hours Wednesday morning before it has to be handed in.

Diary Entry 6

This is what i have been doing today adding more writing to the front cover. Deciding what colours to have and what fonts was difficult, also deciding what to write was hard. As i didn't want to write the same as what is on my content page I had to come up with new text to write and slogans and little snippets of things to make people want to pick it up and read on. 

Diary Entry 5

It is a week today until it has to be handed in, this final last week I am making sure everything is up to scratch and happy for me to hand in. I have added more writing to my front page today and moved things around as I didn't like the way it was looking. It wasn't very pop magazine ish therefore I went onto Google and looked at front cover's of pop music magazines and realised how much more colorful and jazzy there were. Mine is quite boring and this is something I will defiantly have  to change on my final magazine as this is my rough cut and can get feedback on how to make it better in the future.

Diary Entry 4

This week I am just going over all pages (front cover, content and double page spread) to make sure I am happy with everything. Just tweaking the small things and maybe changing some things around until I am happy with everything and ready to hand it in on the hand in date. I have a week and a few days left and really happy with how everything is going.

Rough Cuts So Far

These are my Rough Cuts So Far......

Diary Entry 3

First of all i inserted my article which I wrote throughout my half term holidays, placing this into three columns which were all the same size over just less than half the page. Therefore when placing my image in I will be able to put it in and make it over place the middle page fold just how I wanted it. I then added in my larger letter at the start of my article and added titles. This is coming on really well and is looking great.

Diary Entry 2

The last few days I have been working on the front cover, i was looking forward to getting my front page image on and start to get my texts around it. I didn't realise how much of a task this was, it took me for every to get it looking right and how i wanted it however it still isn't what i wanted. I still have a lot of work to do with this and i'm not looking forward to it as it does take loads of work to get it looking like a music magazine.

Diary Entry 1

This week I have been working on my rough cuts of my front cover, contents page and double page spread for the deadline on the 27th of March.Today i have started to do my content page, as i knew what photos i wanted to use i was excited to start it and get them on. I started off by placing the boxes around the page where i want them to be. Then i started to add in text and the images. After getting all the text in i ten started to change around the colour of the text and the fonts. This made it look a lot more music magazine like and I'm very chuffed with how its looking so far.

Front Page Image

This is the image I am using on my front cover for my rough cut however will defiantly be changing this for my finished magazine!

Content Page Images

These are the three images i have used on my content page for my rough cut, these will more than likely be changed for my final magazine.

Double Page Spread Image

This is my double page spread image, which i have edited and deleted the big blue bridge out the background and lighten the image to make it more appealing and sunny looking. As the day I chose to take my photographs wasn't the best and needed editing to make it look more happy and fun for my pop magazine.

Photos For Music Magazine

These are some of the images I have taken, I then had to go through the photos and decide which ones Im going to use in my music magazine!
