Final Cuts

This is my final cut for my front cover. I feel that this has been successful and I am pleased that my finished product is exactly what i aimed for my magazine to look like. I think that from my rough cut to my final cut a variety of minor changes have allowed me to improve the quality resulting in a professional looking music magazine. I stuck to the colour scheme, that my target audience chose, of red white and black and added certain elements such as changed the word 'Katie' to red in orger to highlight this as much as i could. I think that from looking at my front cover you can now clearly see that i have taken influence from my style model Q and looked closely at the conventions of front covers of music magazines.

This is my final cut for my contents page. I am extremely pleased with this page and the huge change from my basic rough cut to my final cut. This page is the page which needed the most work from my rough cut feedback and i think it also has the best resemblance of my style model, Q. I think that the images on this page, especially the main image, are very striking and draw the reader in, making them want to turn directly to page 46 and read the article. This is exactly what i aimed for as it was something which i liked and wanted to use from Q magazine as i think your audience is the most important aspect and this catered exactly to their needs and preferences.

This is my final cut for my double page spread. Again, i am pleased with the outcome for this page and think that although it had the least changes to be made, according to my target audience and rough cut feedback; it has come far in representing my genre and style of my magazine and style model. I think that minor details on this page have added to the overall professional look of my double page spread, for example the album information at the bottom and the date, name and page number under the seperating line. I also like the links i have created between the image and text with the fade to white from the image to text and the red line at the top going through the artists name and through to the image.
