The document describes the process of designing a magazine cover. The designer made multiple revisions based on feedback. In the first draft, they added an image, masthead, barcode and tagline. Based on feedback that more information was needed, they moved the tagline above the image for clarity. Additional revisions included adding a tagline, issue number, changing fonts and resizing elements. Further feedback suggested filling more space, simplifying colors and enlarging the image. The designer made these revisions by adding another plug, banner and changing some text and plug colors.

3.  My first stage was to add the
coloured background and the correct
image. I also had to adjust the size
and positioning until it look suitable.
I also changed the brightness and
contrast of the picture.

4. I then added the masthead and
adjusted the size so it wasn’t to
big or small. But big enough it
was going to make an impact.

6.  Lastly I added the barcode in the
bottom right corner and added a
plug on the left hand side of the
magazine with a picture to make
it stand out more. I also added a
tagline WOMbajak in the top left
above the image.

7. In my seconds draft I have changed the position of “WOMbajak” .
This was because in my first draft people didn’t know what it was showing.
So I moved it on top of my image so you can see who WOMbajak is.
I have added a tagline as
well to the magazine
cover. This was to draw
people into magazine.
I have added some more
information onto the front of
my magazine to make it look
a lot more professional.

8.  My first try at making a music magazine I think went really well I
followed 1 of my layout plans to help me along, although I do think
I could use a different one next time as it didn’t look as good as I
had hoped. The house colours I had chosen work really well with
each other as they contrast well and I now know that they are
perfect for the type of music magazine I am making (Dubstep). The
font types I also used are very nice as they are easily readable and
contrasting against each other. The image I used in this magazine
is taken at a good angle but the lighting wasn’t that good so I’m
gong to retake my images with different lighting or maybe edit
them a bit more. The masthead I have chosen for my magazine is
extremely bold and is easily read and seen. So overall this has
been a great first try as I have learnt to get to grips with fireworks
and what I would like my magazine to look and feel like.

9.  Some of the comments I was given were:
 Not enough information still
 Tagline is not good enough
 Font is not very nice on the tagline
 Add issue number
 Change font colour
 Resize image
 Move tagline and chagne font
 Move barcode and issue number

15.  More feedback was that there was to much space within the front cover and it
needed to be filled up.
 The colour wasn’t professional enough and needed to be changed to a more
simple and less bold colour.

21. In this version I
have changed the
colour and
enlarged the
image to make it
look more
professional.

22. I have added another plug to
make the page look more
full. I have also added a
banner to the bottom of the
page.

24. I added a 3rd colour to
my work as feedback
from people said their
was to much white. So
I changed the colour
of some of the text. I
also changed the
colour of every other
plug.
