LIIAR evaluation of Final Draft.
L- I have made my magazine so that it is both conventional and unconventional, I have done this so that it will appeal to readers of other magazines as well as maybe focus on appealing to a newer audience.
I have stayed very close to the brief by using various images which I have taken myself I have also used different computer programmes to edit the images. The brief also stated that I must use a mid-shot on the front page of my magazine which I have done. The image which is used is also the same style of images which is used throughout the magazine and is the same band which is featured in the main article which I have featured on the double page spread of my magazine. Although I said that I was going to try different styles of shot when looking at making the magazine the mid-shot option did work the best for the front cover of the magazine as it gave more detail to the page.
I have made the pose of the model on the image on the front page look quite quirky in order to appeal to readers, I feel that because the artist on the front page isn't looking directly at the camera it gives the audience a sense of the unknown and they may not always know what to expect when they read the magazine. The angle of the image is also slightly to the side of the artist which makes the image look different to that which is conventionally used on the front cover of a magazine.
The black and white images also give the magazine quite a classy feeling as well as a rocky edge for the magazine which clashes with the brighter, younger colours used throughout the magazine, these two different style give my magazine something different and a different feeling which magazines may not all have.
The lighting which I have used for the image on the front cover of the magazine is also very bright as it gives a good contrast to black background and gives the images a look of higher quality as it stands out from the background much more. This also gives of a quirky feeling and makes the magazine look like it features alot more 'rocky'.
The anchorage on the page works well because it stands out from the black and white image on the page as well as the dark background, and because they are set in quite a large font and in a very bold colours.
I have Incorporated various different style of anchorage onto the front page of my magazine such as a banner headline, which stands out from the background because of the very bold colours which are used in it. As well as this I have used a subsidiary cover line located in another banner style headline which is located at the top of the page. This also bring more colour onto the page.
I have used a continuous colour scheme throughout the magazine also because it gives the magazine a sense of continuity, which is important because it would make the magazine more appealing to the audience. I have used both darker colours as well as bright colours as it gives the magazine a Rockey yet different style, it is a simplistic colour scheme which I felt would work well together.
On the contents page which I have created I have used a consistent house style so that the magazine is more conventional to that of what magazines are usually like, I feel personally that this is important because it gives the magazine a more professional look. I have made it consistent by using the sames colour scheme and images style, this is a light image which has been made black and white to make it consistent with the other images, I have kept the page quite simple by using a simple style of font and image. I have made the page numbers on the page slightly larger than the other text in order to give the page a sense of dynamics as well as making the page look slightly better.
I have separated the image at the top of the page and the page title from the rest of the page by using a banner style partition, I feel that this works well as it gives the page two separate parts.
I have again used this house style on the double page spread to give the magazine a style and consistency.
I have added in a colour image onto the page to give it a different style to the other pages and more colour so that it would stand out more the the audience, the larger black and white images which is used on the page is darker compared to that of the other photos which are used throughout the magazine as I chose to darken the contrast of the photo to make the image darker.
Other than these small differences I have kept the style of the pages consistent so that the magazine would look professional to the audience.
When creating the magazine I had various problems and different things which didn't work well when making it, I felt that the colour scheme which I originally chose was to bland and wouldn't attract people as it looked very plain, as well as many other things which went wrong, I tried to resolve these issues whilst making the magazine so that the magazine would be to a high standard.
I- I have created this magazine for a big magazine company, I have done this in order to appeal to a different audience which they do not appeal to already, I have made this seem believable by making the quality of the magazine quite high as well as making i look quite classy at the same time. I feel this is important as a large company would not make the magazine look shabby as they know that the magazine would not sell in large numbers.
I feel that this is the type of magazine who should distribute the magazine as using a large company to work with the magazine they are more likely to distribute the magazine in a wider way, which is important in order to attract a wide audience.
I- The morals of my magazine show the a different genre of music from the average ones can sell magazine and can be read about in a magazine, I feel that this is important because the readers of the magazine will not have been catered for generally because this is a new magazine and this genre of music has been included in magazine but not on a whole, which is important, as it is just included in some magazine.
A- I have used the front page of my magazine to appeal to the audience which I was going to appeal to by giving it a classy colour scheme but also included things which will appeal to the younger audience so that it will appeal new readers and readers from other magazine and both young and old generations.
I have represented the genre in a good way in order to keep the magazine appealing to the audience.
My magazine represents different social groups because it includes various different information which will appeal to different social groups, this is important in order to make the magazine appeal to a wider audience.
R- I have used the front cover to represent various bands which are included on the magazine front page, such as the band which I have come up with for my magazine specifically as well as other bands which I have decided to include in the magazine, the magazine represents the artists because it talks about them on the page. This is an important aspect when getting readers interested in reading the magazine as if there is no artists which they like in the magazine they will choose not to read this magazine.
I have also represented the genre of music which i have chosen to base my magazine around in a positive way in the magazine, this will also make the magazine appeal to the correct audience I have done this by representing various different groups of people throughout the magazine.
Other Notes- Whilst making this magazine I have learnt alot about different technologies not only the types which are used to make the magazine but other technologies which magazine companies use in order to get a wider audience for there magazine.
I have learnt alot about programmes such as photo shop, this was an important programme when making the magazine as it is the programme which was used to put the magazine together. I learnt various things about the programme such as how to change various different photographic elements such as the contrast and the brightness of an image as well as how to put things together in order to make them look good in a layered fashion.
I feel that since I have completed the preliminary task my skills on programmes such as photo shop as well as the depth of detail into which I planned the magazine has improved and the quality of my magazine has improved compared to that of the previous task.

New & Final Draft of Double Page Spread.
In order to make sure the double page spread of the magazine go with the new layout and house style of the magazine I decided to also make slight alterations to this page.
I made sure that I included some white in order to make sure that the page went with the new housestyle of the magazine.
I also changed the image so that it was both of the members of the band on the main article so that the audience would be able to notice that it was more about that band than just the specific figure. I also felt that the two images at the side of the page made the page fare to cluttered and now that there was just one long shot image on the page the page looked alot better.
This is the newer final draft of the magazine:

Changes to Double Page spread
I have decided that I am going to change the double page spread again as I feel the word 'exclusive' on the page could be changed.
I have decided to make it verticle and slightly larger to make it stand out from the other elements on the page more.
