1) The document discusses changes made to the front page design of a magazine, including making the main text bolder and changing its color to better fit the color scheme and attract the target audience. 2) Social media icons were repositioned to look more professional and structured, and an arrow was added to imply following on social media. 3) Some text was moved into a splash for more visual appeal and variety, and a smaller side banner was removed to conform to typical magazine conventions.

1. Front page: changes

2. I had to change the colour of my main text and make it more
bold. This was to conform more to my colour scheme and
become more bold and eye-catching to my target audience.
From the first draft, I decided to rea-line my text to make it
start from the edges inwards. This was done to make it look
more professional and neat.

3. I had to change the
convergences, the use of
different social media
icons placed on my front
page had to change and
the position had to be
changed to make it look
more professional and
structured. I also
included an arrow to
denote and imply the
message to ‘follow’ on
the social website.
From my 1st draft I have
included a website and
moved my pull quote into
my masthead as it is
creative and including
helps conform to the
convention of magazines

4. I decided to place some of my text into a splash, to make
it more appealing to my audience and offer abundance.
I removed the black outline and changed it to a white outer
glow. This was to offer a variety of different colours, within
my colour, to the audience and make it more attractive.

5. I removed a smaller banner at the side because I was advised
that it wouldn’t be ideal for my magazine and looked weird
on my page. As I removed the banner I replaced it with
more sub-headlines on my page to make conform to the
typical conventions of a magazine.
I included two guns, facing away to each-other, in my
final draft of my front cover to conform to the one of
the typical iconography of the rap genre; weapons
(guns).
