Dear Moderator,

I hope you enjoy viewing my blog and appreciate the work I have done over the course of the past 6 months.

Research and planning: Final modification

I have made one more alteration, I changed the text around on this and put the title in my font onto of the models this was because I believe it gave it that professional but yet a down to earth look and this will suit my target audience.

Evaluation Question 7

Contents page - I decided to make the image stand out because I felt like it would add a bit of a new edge the way he is stood in front of everything I believe it differentiates it and gives it a more professional look. I added the text on top because firstly the colour balance of white and blacked worked really well, I don't think the white would of worked anywhere else on the pages I felt like this was why I put it there, and also because secondly the quote is from the model so I thought where else to place other than on the model himself. I added the black bars and red text as this I felt gave this page the same feel as it did through out and it kept that indie look by the font I used, and, like I identified, the colours are very indie so this is why I did this. I also decided to do them in blocks because this to me kept it in structure but in a good way.

Cover page - I decided to make my music magazine main text in that style because I felt it gave it the indie look, and it again kept with my colour scheme. The next was the sub headings and I decided to do mine how I did because again I felt like it kept structure and continuity and I made them bold to stand out a lot and also to use more more on the page to fill the page, with this feature I feel it gave a real life vibe. I then focused a lot on my cutting out skills which was a photoshop feature, I realised after my college that I needed to practice my photoshop skill's which I believe after comparing both of them my skills did improve. I also added more features such as a plug, this was because I believe it turned it from a standard magazine to a good magazine which had some subtle differences which I believe on the whole came out good.

Evaluation - Question 6
