Contents Page Improvements

Second Draft







Final Draft

As you can see, there were many changes made to my front cover after receiving feedback for the second draft.



  • Similarly to my front cover, one of the more prominent changes is the addition of new fonts. The comments I received for my second drafts were that the fonts used within were too 'plain' and did not look very innovative. I think this is because I had mainly stuck to using default Photoshop fonts, rather than looking into a broader range of  them on Dafont. Within the time between handing in my second drafts and completing my final drafts, I conducted research into the types of fonts that would be best suited to my magazine. I found which types of fonts were most popular within my target audience, decided whether they suited the product and implemented them in.
  • It was also suggested that I should change my editor's note as the one in the second draft did not actually read like an editor's note. I edited it so that it gave an overview of what was going to be in the magazine and also so that the editor was speaking to the reader on a more relatable level. 
  • I altered the size of the dominant image and also edited the text within the subhead so that there was less empty space. This gave the page a more professional look. 
  • I moved the masthead and contents headline to make the top of the page look less 'clogged up' and in doing so I feel I have given the page a more professional look.
