This week I finished my magazine in it's entirety, this involved finishing all of the DPS', the front cover and the contents page. I had finished the front cover in the previous week so I only had to do the rest of the pages, I had created the backgrounds for the Capture article and the 'rock star article' so I only needed to add the text to it, I had created the background for the 'album' article but I decided to change it because I didn't like the background when I put all of the content in, because it is a very text heavy article I decided to use a plain background because any colours in the background would distract the eyes from the text. I decided to take a different approach to the layout of each album in the list, using a small thumbnail image and the title with the corresponding text below, this looked professional and was easier to read. I also created the title for the article, I made one for my initial mock up several months ago, I liked the way it looked, so I created a title that looked similar to the one I used originally. Another thing I had to create was the contents page, I looked to Kerrang Magazine for the inspiration for the contents page, I made a collage of all of the features in the top and had all of the other articles that would be in the magazine on the bottom half of the page.
Overall I am really pleased with the outcome of my piece, I think that I have worked well in the time that I have been given, I have worked hard and managed to take some good images and edit them to create a professional looking magazine that is to a high standard.
