Final Article (Page 3)
Here is the third page of my feature article. The third page was needed to fit the remaining half of the article itself.
Final Contents Page
Taking advice from my feedback, I made my contents page another double page spread. This allowed more space for me to add other images, text and designs.

Feedback for First Draft with Own Images
After making my draft of my magazine, I received a list of suggestions for improvements from my teacher. Above, the finished results can be seen.
Task
|
What
I can do to improve
|
Front cover
|
·
Make the
anchorage text larger on the page and include a quote from the interview.
·
Try
adding a drop shadow to the title block.
·
Make the
anchorage text larger on the page.
·
Include
a dateline and price in smaller font along the barcode – there is no need for
it to be in a rectangle block.
·
Write
FREE and WIN in block capitals and in
slightly larger font so it stands out
to the reader.
·
You
could include a strip along the bottom to promote more artists featured
inside the magazine.
|
Contents Page
|
·
Contents
should be larger on the page.
·
There
should be an image of your main cover star on the contents page as she is the
main attraction.
·
You
could add an editor’s note alongside an image of yourself and a signature at
the end to sign it off.
·
Divide
the contents into more sections e.g. Rave guide, Interviews, etc and include a range
of articles underneath each section – remember the page is A4 size so you have
a lot more space than it seems. If you run out of space you could always design
a double page contents.
·
The
features section should include all the articles mentioned on the cover.
·
Try to
make the most important features stand out on the contents page. These are
the pages that the reader will most likely to read first.
·
Use a wider
range of images if you do decide to create a double page.
|
Article Pages
|
·
You may
need to use in design software to create the double page article as it will
give you more equally aligned columns. I t will also be easier for you to
wrap the article text around the image on the second double page.
·
Make the
title larger on the page.
·
Make the
drop cap pink so it stands out from the main body text.
·
You
could include the magazine logo at the bottom of each page.
·
Please
ensure you upload the rest of the article so it can be assessed.
