Dear Examiner , Throughout the course of creating my alternative magazine and using blogger I have learnt that evaluating, research and planning carry a great importance in this process. This has helped me to develop a better understanding of many things such as how to use Photoshop. I hope you enjoy the work that I have done. Thank you, Amy Bradley.
Original double page spread Above is an image of my original double page spread and the feedback surrounding it. As you can see my double page spread has changed quite a large amount, as I have decided to use two photo's instead of five; added symbolic symbols; changed the format of the layout and the columns of text. This is because I believed that I could change the layout further- still making it engaging but spreading the text columns wider as I was suggested to do. However, I did decide to keep the layout of having a large photograph on the opposite page as I've seen this used within magazines such as Clash magazine and believe that it is very effective- despite the fact it is simple and minimal. In my opinion, this fits well with the structure of my magazine as it is very minimalistic. I also decided to brighten my images as from my feedback I gathered that they were quite dark...
My front page flat plan is again following the ideas of a simplistic magazine. Although, it is my opinion that this style of magazine layout does portray my theme of alternative music very well and would therefore attract my target audience. I wanted to find a way of delivering information to my audience briefly but in a striking way, this is why I decided to advertise the artists names on the front cover in a column down the right hand size. This was actually an idea I gained from viewing Clash magazine.
