Finished Magazine Double Page Spread.

Changes between my final designs and my draft designs

• I changed the font to a more neutral font, before the font was very "high brow" and may have caused people to not read the magazine itself, thinking that it would be far too upperclass for them, now however the use of this font allows a broader audience to divulge in the magazine itself.
• All of the photographs were changed back to being coloured photographs as opposed to black and white; I also decided that I was going to use the contrast tool to assure that each of the photographs was finished to the highest of specification.
• I decided that I was then going to make the darker area around the bottom of the page darker and the lighter area lighter in an attempt to make the contrast between black and white/dark and light more obvious; I accomplished this by experimenting with the contrast options that have become available.

• The photograph that is placed in the bottom left hand side of the page has been moved from were the photograph next to it has been placed; I chose to do this to attempt to add a wider range of camera shots to each of my elements. I edited the first photograph by using the magnetic lasso tool and feathering the piece to assure that the finished product looked as professional as possible.

• A brand new photograph has been applied - this particular photograph shows a person that is singing at a local gig in Leicestershire.
• To comply with my previous pages and subsequent pages, have the black, blue and white theme throughout; I have, however cut around the character's orange t-shirt and simply pasted it over the top of the original person - this piece now is used to attempt to grasp the attention of the reader that could be undecided as to what to buy when it comes to magazines.

• I decided to make my masthead larger too. I began this process by going onto dafont.com and picking an appropriate font type, from this I then copied each letter and coloured them an appropriate colouring to tie in with the remainder of my magazine.
