Fourth Contents Draft

I tried out using a white background, made the black block opaque and moved the location of all of the text and the photographs into a positioning that I feel looks more professional. However, I feel that the white background is too boring and doesn't fit with the theme of my magazine.

Third Contents Draft

On this draft I straightened out the black squares to fit with the conventions of other music magazine contents pages and made the "subscribe" text yellow to stand out more.

Second Contents Draft

I developed the last draft by moving the text and black boxes, making the background red, adding warning tape to link with my front page and changed the size and position of the photographs.

First Contents Draft

I took the conventional white background and added some black squares to use as a background for my text and a yellow rectangle to use as the background for the title and date. I then added photographs of my bands and some text, as well as page numbers. I created a QR code and added that as well.

In response to the feedback I recieved I will try out my front cover with more coverlines and experiment with some other layouts for them to fill the space more.

From looking at your blog I can see that you've worked really hard and the work you've completed has been more detailed than anyone elses I've looked at. I think the calender on your blog is really cool, and the pictures you've uploaded such as from the Ed Sheeran concert enforce the genre of your blog too.

Your front cover is really good and follows covention, it shows you've paid a lot of attention to detail with it. I like the process you've shown throughout making your final draft, and I think that your final draft is eye-catching, the main image is really good and the cover lines would interest readers.

To improve I would maybe add more cover lines to make it look less empty.

Too much work to look at all of it but from what I've seen so far it looks really good and pretty detailed, the front cover is excellent, probably the best one i've seen so far, and you've done more work then i have so that's a positive.

I love your blog! the layout and research is great! It's fantastic! You've done loads of extra research.

You're front cover is really strong! I love the no access style banner as it reflects the genre you have picked! Your colour scheme is also really effective!

You can maybe develop your front cover by the layout of the features, possibly experiment with moving around! But overall it's fantastic! Well done!
