My final evaluation

Changes after feedback, front cover

 After the feedback I began changing my front cover, the image, I tried it a bit more zoomed in, which would fit with my style models, Billboard and Q. Which meant I had to move the artist name around as it looked as if the model was licking it.

Making the front cover

Choosing the main font

On website, Da Font I searched for some fonts that would suit my magazine genre of chart music. These fonts were my favourite and I felt they were the most appropriate. After conducting some market research, I chose 'abeat by kai' as 75% of the people asked, thought it was the most appealing and best suited font, as it is clear but has a uniqueness about it.

Basic layout for double page spread

The background on contents page image

On the contents page that had all of the studio shots, I was told through the feedback that variety in the background of the images was needed. I liked the natural pose of the model touching her hair and brushing it off her face, so I tried to recreate this image. The colour of the jumper on the studio shot worked well on the contents as it was a good mix with the greens and bit of red from the other images. The shirt in the second photo was chosen to keep the mix. and it is the type of clothes that the target audience would wear.

Adding backgrounds after feedback

I had to add backgrounds so that the images on my contents page wouldnt all be studio shots, I had to add variety to them. I edited the brightness and contrast on the sky because the image didnt match with the artists I was putting it behind.
