2. Front cover Overall I am very pleased with how my music magazine front cover turned out. I feel that the photo looks professional as I edited it on Photo shop. I like the name ‘CMM’ as I feel it is short, catchy and will be easy to remember as it is an abbreviation. I also think my magazine is quite different to other ones as there is a strong message in the picture and this also makes it eye-catching. If I had to do it again, I don't think I would change anything as I am very happy with the design and layout of my cover. I also feel that I have learnt a lot about editing programs such as Indesign and Photo shop and can now confidently use these programs.
3. Contents page I am also pleased with how my contents page worked out. I think that it fits in nicely with the ‘look’ of my magazine as the writing looks handwritten and gives the connotation of classical. I think the pictures are original as they look like an old photograph. I am pleased I was able to use a picture that I took when I was on a film trip to LA as it enabled me to give my magazine a ‘theme of the week’. I chose Hollywood as a lot of young aspiring musicians often go there to chase their dreams. I also really liked the picture of the city and though it would look perfect at the top of my contents page to give it a bit more texture. If I had to do my contents page again, I may have more images on the front as some people may not like the simple layout that I chose.
4. Double page spread I am happy with how my double page spread came out as well. I think the mix between grey and coloured photographs makes it look pretty but unusual thus drawing people in. I like the picture I chose to features as the main image as my model is giving direct mode of address which engages with people and makes my audience like her more. I also think that as I have a good balance of text and pictures, a young audience would enjoy reading my double page spread. If I had to do it again I don't think I would change anything as I am happy with how it looks.
