3. Changes made to Front Cover
• Splash changed from ‘How 3 Liverpudlians
sold out Wembley one year after their debut’ to
‘How three Liverpudlians sold out Wembley’.
• Font for splash changed to ‘Calibri’ in italics
(cover line font) – more conventional for a
magazine cover to stick to a minimal amount
of fonts.
• Red outer glow added to splash – before it
wasn’t standing out from background enough.
• Splash centred, made smaller, and line space
made smaller – looked more effective.
• Gutterline added to bottom with additional
magazine content – before there was too
much space along bottom, and the image of
Tom provides cohesion with the contents
page.
• Institutional information aligned to the right in
order to avoid it blending in with the gutterline
and to look sophisticated to appeal to a
sophisticated audience – font also changed to
Calibri to minimalise amount of fonts used.
5. Changes made to Contents Page
• Font of the band index and social media changed to
Calibri to match the contents on the right.
• Page numbers added to image of Tom and ‘The
Cloaks’ – make it obvious to the reader where to find
the story.
• Text of stories on right hand side made slightly smaller
and line spacing reduced – more content fit in and
looks more sophisticated.
• Line spacing of Louis Del Grido headline made smaller
and centred – more conventional. Red stroke and
italics also added – makes it stand out more.
• Bottom left image of Josh replaced with image of ‘The
Cloaks’ as there were too many similar images of Josh.
• More stories added to contents on right hand side of
page including interview with main cover band – shows
more content.
• Box of social media made for Josh ($am Winston)
which groups images together, captions changed to
suit the images more, and image of Josh with thumbs
up given a background of the Mercury Music Awards –
show an awards show associated with this genre.
• Prize giveaway added – fill up white space and
replaces the one which I was going to put on the front
cover but did not fit in – allows audience involvement.
7. Changes made to Double Page Spread
• ‘Wembley one year on:’ made slightly smaller
and a colon used instead of ellipsis – this was
done in order to focus attention on ‘The
Cloaks’ which has been enlarged.
• Margin placed around the text in the boxes –
looks more sophisticated and conventional.
• Pull quote moved further down to make it
more conventional and not centred.
• Body text font changed to Arial – easier to
read.
• The stand-first ‘The Cloaks can only go up’
has been made bold like the other stand-
firsts.
• Pull quote changed to white with a black
stroke to match the title.
• Article un-hyphenated and properly proof
read.
• Paragraphs now have drop caps which are
more conventional and effective.
• All numbers now written out as words rather
than figures ie. three rather than 3.
• Box with date etc. in now has page number
and has been aligned left and made smaller.
• Caption of names added to bottom right hand
corner to show who is who.
