Double Page first draft

Here is my first attempt of a double page spread, and as you can see i have tried to adhere to the MixMag contents page i have found, if you look to one of my previous posts you can see i have tried to keep the style the same. I am not happy with the main image as i think its boring and doesnt really stand out from the page. I will try and fix these changes next lesson.  

Final Contents Page

Here is my final contents page and as you can see from the image below i have tried to adhere to the MixMag contents page. I have also tried to adhere to my front cover through colours and fonts. I have tried to make my magazine clear to read and consistent throughout as all other house magazines are like this. I also decided to create my own album cover as i had to create a 'free CD'. This makes the contents page look allot more professional and adheres to allot of the MixMag contents pages.

FINAL UPDATE

Update !

As you can see i have completely changed the font and layout of my cover lines, i decided to change the font as i think it looks allot more professional and it also adheres to many of the 'mix mag' magazines i have looked at. I am also concerned about my mast head as i think it looks a little put of place, i might chance the title of my magazine so it stretches across the top of the mag making it look allot more like the mix mag magazine. 

Update

 In this lesson i played with the layout of my front cover, i have two covers i have decided upon. I would like feedback on the two as i need to make further annotations on them for my final draft. I also added a pitch under my masthead which most other dance magazines have.

Front Cover Update

In this lesson i have updated my front cover even further to get to my final piece, i have decided to get rid of the 'free DJ poster' pug as i think it looks less professional, and added another subheading to fill in the space that i have left. Overall i think my front cover looks allot more professional and also adheres to the rest of my mag as i have used the same fonts and colours.
