3. Contents page improvements
After getting some feedback from my magazine I made some
improvements. For my contents page I made some little changes.
Firstly I just spaced out the text on the page so it was easier to
read. I made more room by getting rid of one of the articles and
compressing the letters together.
Secondly, the other change I made
was deleting the ‘P’ before the
page numbers to make it easier to
read and
because it
wasn’t really
needed.

6. Front page improvements
For my front cover I made quite a
few changes. Firstly, I centred one
of my secondary images and
changed the text ‘December issue’
to ‘December 2014’ to make my
magazine look more professional.
Thirdly, I changed my tagline at the
bottom of the page to ‘The UK’s
NO.1 Charts Magazine’ which
made it more clear what the genre
of my magazine is.

7. The fourth change I made was
changing the text of the anchorage
to the central image. The font
before was very boring and didn’t
stand out enough, so I decided to
change it to a much more exciting
font.
The final change I made was simply
to straighten up the borders of the
page as some were not aligned
correctly. This made my magazine
look neater.

10. DPS page improvements
For my double page spread I had
to make many improvements.
Firstly, I made the stand first
bigger because many magazines
include a stand first to catch the
reader’s attention. So I increased
the font size, put it in italics and
put the first sentence in the
colour red.
Secondly, I completely re did the
layout as the text was on the
spine, so if it was printed it would
have been hard for the audience
to read.

11. Thirdly, I aligned the text as it
was very uneven before, and
so my magazine looks more
neat and professional, I did this
by putting my text into three
columns.
Fourthly, I edited my pull quote
by changing the font, colour
and adding a background to
make it more attention
grabbing and making the page
look more colourful. I also
added a second pull quote on
the left hand side page to
break the text up more and to
add more colour onto that side
of the page.

12. Fifthly, I added a
background behind the
article as I felt like the
white background was just
to plain.
Sixthly, I added in a footer
at the bottom of the page
to show it was still part of
the Top Of The Charts
magazine.
Finally, the last change I
made was insert a large
dropped capital letter to
add more colour to the
page and to make my DPS
look more professional.
