Updated Drafts

Updated Draft: Cover

In my front cover I have made a few tweaks and adjustments to make my page more professional and conventional. I have made the font for 'The Everything' bigger, this was a suggested improvement and I believe it looks more professional and eye catching. Along with this I have also adjusted positioning of my barcode and issue texts; I have put them all together which is commonly seen on most covers, this adds to the conventional look. For my text box on the left I have adjusted the cover lines, I have done this to give more of an inside to the magazine, this will attract more people into buying as there is more to tempt them.

Updated Draft: Contents

The updated contents page draft hasn't changed much, it was only really a case of correcting spelling errors and false information under the regulars heading. Along with this I have added web addresses at the top of the magazine, this is common on a lot of professional magazine contents pages so I thought it would be beneficial to use it and keep the magazine conventional. In addition I have also made the word 'contents' bigger, and tweaked the text box underneath, including the magazine name. I am happy with the overall look of my draft contents page and aim to keep this for my final version, with tweaks in the images used and texts.

Updated Draft: Double Page Spread

I feel i have made a lot of improvements in my double page spread, all from my feedback from peers and mainly my teacher's. I have made my article longer including more interesting information in their which still suits the language register. Along with this i have used a bigger drop letter, this gives more of a magazine feel. The overall look of the page is still conventional and simplistic which is my overall aim. I have adjusted columns so they are the same width and cut down to one pull quote which gains a lot of attention. In addition i have also added a different picture, i used a portrait photo that i had perviously taken of my models, this is because i feel it fits better with the page and the layout i want to portray compared to the landscape image. However i like the overall look of my previous image so i will aim to get that similar shot but in a portrait frame. I have also added other little elements to improve the overall look of the pages, for example a bold line under my article, this looks minimalistic and takes up space so it doesn't look too plain. Furthermore i have added a twitter and website address for the band; this is something which is common in real published magazines so i believed it would be a good idea to use.

Band Profile

Band Name: The Everything

Music Style: Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Synths

Influences: Foals, Two Door Cinema Club, The Vaccines, Everything Everything, Friendly Fires, The Maccabees 

Members: 3 members, bass guitar, drums and vocals. 3 males, 1 guitar and vocal, 1 bass guitar, 1 drums.


Cover: 3 members, possibly two so i can avoid overcrowding and cramming on the cover which could potentially give off an unprofessional look.

Style: stand next to each other to add to the simplistic look, or in a triangle e.g 1 in front, two behind, to add a feeling of importance to the lead singer of the band. Clothing will be skinny jeans, plain simple t shirt or shirt branded, e.g fred perry. Mid shot, no shoes or full jeans revealed. Hair style is neat, add to simplistic look, also short back and side haircut. Or messy hair, contrasts to simplistic look and fits the genre better, conventional look of a typical indie/alternative band e.g foals. Or more vintage, old fashioned shoot, adds effect well because it looks minimalistic.
