The document describes several changes the author made to their magazine layout and design, including changing the front cover photo and design elements, adjusting text formatting and alignment, modifying column layouts, and redesigning the contents page to look more professional. The changes were made based on feedback and to improve readability, visual appeal, and consistency of style throughout the publication.

1. I have been experimenting with different ways of having my main cover line. I have
tried numerous ideas, by having the text over, above the his second name. I feel that
having it over the text rather than just having it above gives a more interesting
feel, this is because

2. I had completely changed my front cover. I
had another photo shoot and chose this as
the image to be my front cover. This is
because it links to the name of the article
and it also has a direct address with the
reader.
I also changed the size of the barcode, this
is because it was too big and looked out of
place.
I also added another cover line to the page.
This make the page look more full rather
than have an empty look like previously.
I changed the Font of the title of my
magazine too. This is because the previous
font was too flimsy, and also too
wide, taking up too much room on the
page.

3. Lindsey told me to change the
tittle of the page, previously I
had “The” and “Anecdotes”
on separate lines above each
other, I have now changed it
so it is all on one line. This
gives the page and the text
more room to breath as
before it had to be pushed
together due to the size of
the title.
I have also changed the alignment of
the text, as previously it had looked
messy. But now I have changed it to
justified which makes the paragraph
look cleaner.
I also added a drop
capital of 3 lines, which I
had previously planned
in my publication plan

4. I have decided to change my layout from 2 columns to 3. This makes the text
easier to read as the lines aren't taking up half of the page. It also gives the
page a more professional look. This is because most magazines have the
format of 3 columns.

5. I have made some changes to my double page spread. I have changed the name of the
article to “meet the Anecdotes” rather than “The Anecdotes”. This gives the title of the
page more of an article feel rather than just the name of the band. I have also changed
the font and font size of the quote, this is because it makes it stand away from the rest of
the text and also makes it stand of the page more. I have added the name of the person
who made the quote, this is because it gives more information to the reader.

6. This is my final double page spread. I made some final improvements such
as, changing the quote, so it looks more interesting. I also changed the size of
the title of the article as it attracts the reader in more. I also shortened my
stand first as it was too long, this way, it tells the reader what the article is
about, without too much reading.

7. I have changed the title of the article from
italic bold to just bold. This is because I
felt the italic effect made it look less
professional.
I have also added the issue date and
issue number onto the contents page.
This is because it is a typical feature of
a contents page and should be used.

8. In this lesson, I had but a green background behind the regulars part of the contents
page. I have done this as the page looked too plain when it was all white. By doing this it
makes the whole page look more interesting and separates that section from the rest of
the page.

9. I have completely re-done my contents page. I have made it so it
has 3 columns rather than two, and I also made the page into a
‘L’ shape. I have done this as it gives the page a more
professional look, also the 3 columns would then link to the
three columns on my double page spread, keeping a style
throughout my magazine. I have also made some adjustments
to the actual text on the page, making the writing smaller so it
fits properly and also making the page numbers bigger so the
stand out more.
I have made one final change
to my contents page, I have
added an extra picture. This
makes it feel like the page has
more information.
