Final double page spread



From the beginning of the development of my double page, I had a stong idea of how to lay it out. Not many changes where made to the double page's layout but most of the changes where made to the article itself and to the page numbers. I am very happy with the image of the girl with her eyes closed which could reflect on insperation or that she is dreaming of her future. Overall, I am happy with the result. 

Final contents page


This I feel is one of my better aspects of my magazine. Instead of the issue number and date being displayed on the front cover, I placed it here on to contents page. I also added social network advertisements to encourage the moden methods of connecting with the audience. The only recent changes is some spelling improvements. Since adding the extra photo's to the contents I became very happy with the end result as I feel it really looks like a contents with character and charisma. Suttle touches like the dark gradient around the main cover star's image improved the focus of the contents which I find to be my favourite aspect. 

Final front cover

This is the final version of TAP TAP magazines front cover. I have included the conventions of cover lines, masthead, main cover line, URL, barcode and price. I also included the addition of a puff with the use words like 'exclusive' and '+ (plus)' which gives makes the magazine seem exciting and interesting.
I didn't make many changes to the font cover and I feel very happy with how it's turned out. The only recent change is an extra cover line involving a quote from the cover star.

Construction feedback

I was given construction feedback based on my magazine involving these creative uses of skills:
  • Using IT appropriatley
  • Understanding of conventions of layout/ page design
  • Awareness of need for varirty in fonts and text size
  • Accurate use language/ register
  • Appropriate intergration illustration/ text
  • Framing shots
  • Variety of shots distances as appropriate
  • Shooting appropriate material
  • Selecting mise-en-scene (including colour, figure, lighting, objects and setting)
  • Manipulating photographs (including within text, within IT programmes, cropping, resizing)
From my feedback, the magazine seems to succeed in all areas giving it a level 4.

The best aspects of my work:
  • The colours from her clothing you incorporated it with the font colours.
  • The article seens as if it was produced by someone else as it sounds exactly like a writer and because of the use of your language.
Need to improve on:
  • Add a little more text into the contents page so that it looks fuller.
In respronce I will add more text into the contents page to improve it's appearence.
