Audience Feedback

Diary Entry 19

I have finished making all the improvements to my magazine. I did a lot of work to my contents page to it clear and easy to read. I changed lots of the fonts and colours so it was more appealing to the reader. I also added subscription details and a copy of a subscribers edition of the front cover. I also included a copy of my front cover and article in the top right corner which I think really adds to the overall effect of the magazine.
I also finished editing all of my double page spreads. I edited the spread with the pull quote by adding an outline to the quote to make it more eye-catching. I also added a banner at the bottom of the page to make it more interesting.
Then I finished adding improvements to my article. I added two pull quotes and made them stand out by giving them a black outline.  I also added 'EXCLUSIVE' to entice the reader and to make them think they are seeing something no one else has seen yet. I also made the article text bigger because before it was too small to read. I did have some issues fitting all the text on the page because I had increased the size, so I took out some of the article.

Diary Entry 18

I have been working on doing the final improvements to my magazine this week. I have improved the front cover and uploaded the final cover onto my blog. I have been using a checklist for each of my pages to ensure that my magazine includes all the vital elements that will make it successful.

Final Magazine Drafts

Final Front Cover Draft

This is the final draft of my front cover. I have taken on board all feedback from peers and my audience and this is how my final product has turned out.

Final Contents Page Draft

This is my final contents page. I have taken on board all peer feedback and used all these comments to make the product I have presented here.

Final Double Page Spread 1 Draft

This is one of the final double page spreads. I think that this is my best double page spread because the image is eye-catching and one of my favourite of all the shots I had from that outdoor photoshoot.

Final Double Page Spread 2 Draft

This my second final double page spread. For this spread I think that the image used is the most effective element of it howeever if I had more time I would improve the pull quote to make it more eye-catching.

Final Double Page Spread 3 (article) Draft

This is my third final double page spread. I think this spread is much improved compared to earlier drafts but if I had time to improve it I would still change many things. I would want to make the article columns into three sections instead of two, and also work on my quote and title.
