Preliminary Front Cover Final Front Cover

Front Cover Comparison: From looking at the preliminary magazine and the final magazine, I can see

many improvements. Firstly I have used only one picture on the front cover. This is so there is

more room for writing to advertise the features inside the magazine. Also the colours for the house style are similar to those of an actual music

magazine and go well together unlike the preliminary magazine. The background for my final magazine is a lot brighter and plainer than the

preliminary magazine. It also makes the front cover look at lot less busy with a plain background.

The puffs on the front cover of the preliminary magazine are quite wordy and make the magazine sound like its full of long sentences and paragraphs and goes on about nothing but my final magazine has short, snappy puffs which attract the attention of the reader and make them more interested in buying the magazine.

Before for the preliminary magazine, I decided that it should be a free magazine but whilst designing my final magazine I saw that I wouldn’t be making any profit if I didn’t charge enough for it. Also I started off at a reasonably low price so that if it sold well, I could gradually increase the price so that I was making a profit from it.

Preliminary Contents Page Final Contents Page

Contents Page Comparison My preliminary contents page and my final contents page are very

similar. This is because I liked the layout of my preliminary so I decided to keep the same things for my final product.

For my final contents page I decided to stick with only one image on the page. This was because I didn’t want the contents to be too crowded and adding another image would have made it too crowded and confusing for my readers.

Also I decided to group things in one box to make it easier for readers to search for something in particular.

They are also similar because the information underneath the page title is in bold and italics and in speech marks on my final and on my preliminary it is in italics and speech marks and in a different colour underneath the page heading.

I have not put the word ‘page’ on my final contents page because looking at other music magazines I have found that they have not done this so I decided not to so that it would be more like a music magazine.
