Evaluation of Magazine Development

I have developed on my magazine and have changed some of the features in relation to the audience and other feedback that I have received from my target audience. I have made the font on all of my pages smaller this is allowing the images to be the main focus on the page by doing this it is important to allow the bolder images and other key features to stand out on the page.

On the cover I have made the puff,barcode smaller this is good because this is allowing them no to be the main things that are looked at on the magazine this is allowing the images and the features of the inside of the magazine to stand out and look good on the page. I think that by having the artist name in a large font this is allowing it to stand out as this is one of the main features that are on the cover of the magazine.

I have made the features column on this page smaller and by including more information on the features this is allowing the magazine to look more professional as it includes all of the key features that would be on a magazine contents page. I have moved the subscription feature lower down the page as I think that this interferes with the title of the contents page.

by changing the font size this is allowing there to be more information to be placed on this page this is allowing there to be more text that will look like a normal double page spread. I have moved the quote from the top right of the page to overlap the image this is effective because this is allowing more space to create a title section to the page. I think that by having smaller text with a small into this is allowing the page to be more effective on the eye as it is then drawn to the into on the text page. the red colours used on the left page in the quote in the L's on this page allow a bold contrast in colour to the magazine also goes well against the mustard colourer top in the image and on the title this is allowing the features like the quotes to stand out on the page which will be one of the main things that is looked at in the magazine as this is the first and only time that this bold red is used on the magazine.

Billboard Magazine Double Page Spread

This magazine doesn't consists of the main conventions of a double page spread this is what makes it the most effective. I think that by having one bold image this is the most effective because this allows there to be one main focus point on the screen. by including a basic colour scheme this allows the viewer to have a focus points within the text and the images.

There are mainly dark colours used throughout with the hints of pink and green. this is allowing the pink and green to stand out the most and draw the readers eye. there is a basic style of clothing used on the page. This is allowing the outfit not to draw the attention away from the feature which is Miley.  she is wearing jewellery up her arms this is effective because this is allowing the outfit to be draw together with these pieces.

They have used a column design on the right side of the page this is allowing there to be a convention style to the page. by having one column and not a page that is filled with text this means that it is allowing a brief insight into the artist and by doing this it will allow the feature photo to be more effective on the viewer.

The features in the photo are her shoes and her hair this is effective because this is allowing her to portray her style and therefore allowing her to stand out on the page. I think that by having her looking at the camera this is the most effective because this allows the viewer to feel like they have a connection with the artist.  by using a shot of her sat on the floor and with her having eye contact this means that she is showing her self at the same level as the viewer this is effective as the viewer feels more involved with the advert.

Q Magazine Double Page Spread

This design is effective because of the use of bold colours this is used to allow each aspect of the page to stand out making sure that this is a bold article. the article has been place over two pages with a clear divide between the two. they have used an image on the left with the title of the artist this is allowing there to be a first focus point on the screen. by doing this it will allow the viewer to view this before they look at the text.

On the right side of the page they have used three columns and a title at the top this is effective because the title is the first thing that is looked at and then the quote that is further down the text. I think that by including this it will allow the viewer to see a quote that has come from the artist. they have used red txt throughput the double pages this is allowing there to be parts that stand out. there is a red title at the top of each paragraph this is eye-catching and therefore brings the viewers attention to each part of the columns.

they have used an image of Lady Gaga looking at the camera and she is contorting her back this is effective because this is allowing the viewer to look at the clothe that she is wearing and her hair colour and style. They have used colour's and images that are suggestive of love strength power and sexuality. this is effective because this is what appeals to the viewer. this is also linking to her style which is what her fans look for from her. the use of such bold colours is what makes her style more effective and this is used to help to draw the audience in.
