The document describes revisions made to improve magazine pages based on feedback from classmates. Minor issues like spelling errors were corrected. Text columns were aligned using rulers to improve consistency. The amount of text in each column and placement of the title were adjusted to make the columns look more even. Feedback also suggested adding a quote and image to break up blocks of plain text. A quote was added and the image and column layout were modified. Further changes improved consistency between the front cover and inside pages.

The front coverimage andthe image onthe article / double page were verydifferent,although
they’re supposedtobe the same person. Due tothisI decidedtochange the coverimage to one that
was more similartothe one on the article page.Thishelpedwithaddingmore consistency between
the pages:
