The document describes the development stages of creating a magazine. It outlines the creator's initial ideas for the front cover, contents page, and double page spread and how feedback led to revisions with brighter colors, larger fonts, and more visually appealing designs. The final versions were more in line with typical rock magazine styles and had greater complexity, consistency, and image integration.

creating my magazine.

2. FINAL FRONT COVER
1ST IDEA After creating this front cover, due to peer feedback and criticism
of my own, I thought that the masthead looked far too formal
(Almost Vogue esc) for a rock magazine. Furthermore, after
looking at different rock magazines (Kerrang!, rock sound etc) I
found that they used bright primary colours, instead of dull
colours. Also, I found that the font was too small.

3. FINAL CONTENTS PAGE
1ST IDEA After participating in a focus group and some criticism of my
own, I found that this contents page was far too simple and
needed to be more complex. It was also too messy- the
columns bled into one another and the font of title of my
magazine didn’t match the one on my cover page. The
colours were also very dull and there was no development
with the images. Due to this, I created the one below.

4. FINAL DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD
1ST IDEA
Halfway through creating my double page spread I
realised that it didn’t meet the look I was trying to
convey. The white background was dull compared
with the black and white image and the masthead
was too small, and also too dull. After realising this, I
created the double page spread below.
