Minor grammatical errors were also corrected after proofreading.

Making the front cover
- 1. Making the front cover Here I have put in the title with some of the cover lines and the main headline. The front cover is now starting to take shape as more is added as it starts to form the rough layout I have previously sketched.
- 2. Other features such as a barcode, price and date are now added ready for the picture to be put in. Due to a change of artists the headline is changed. The colour of the title and headlines is now changed in order to be more easily seen against the blue background. The plus banner at the bottom of the page is also highlighted by a yellow box in order to attract the reader to one of their favourite artists.
- 3. In order to make the band names in the cover lines stand out I have increased the size of the font from 20 to 30. The title has been changed to capitals as it makes it easier to read when it is slightly covered but also makes it stand out more. The cover lines have been put more to the left in order to look neater and more organised layout. The main headline has also been changed because it was not completely clear and red outline has been placed around it to stand out from the white t shirt on the image.
