11/03/16 - Deadline for work.
I have finished my Cover page, contents page, and created my layout / design for my double spread - showing where I include different features such as any pull quotes and photographs of my artist.
For my double page spread draft, I have indicated where I will be positioning photos of my artist by using the photo frames included in Serif. When I get to fully creating my article / double page, I will remove these frames and replace them with actual photos of my artist. I have also shown the layout for my main text / article will go.
Front Page:
ReplyDeleteGetting across a rock genre very clearly – well done!
Masthead needs to be bigger and fill out the width of the page. ‘Ben Grant’ should not be bigger than the Masthead. The position of ‘Exclusive Interview’ needs to be slightly altered. I like the colour scheme you have chosen but I would not have everything that colour. You need certain images and texts to stand out.
The ‘win tickets’ pug also needs to stand out even more.
Play around with the layout of articles – it seems a bit muddled
Picture is very good.
Contents Page: I like the way you have colourful images mixed in with the black and white.
Writing needs to be easier to read.
I like the text font used for ‘Contents’ but the top left hand corner of page is bare.
Article is £5.99 but you only have 32 pages – need to adjust this.
Overall: Lots of thought out into the construction and it is coming together well. I look forward to seeing your DPS and 2nd draft!!
