Drafting and Planning: Double Page Spread Improvements

 Here is my improved double page spread:


I have removed some of the introductory text, as it went on about and didn't talk about anything important. I also added page numbers as they're a vital part of a magazine. I added a Twitter link to give Lily of the Valley an online presence, to make it more realistic and make the artist more accessible to the audience. I also included a selling line at the bottom of the article to help advertise his album, which I have done because it makes it seem like an album is really being sold, and makes it obvious to the reader when it's sold so it can draw in an audience for George.

Drafting and Planning: Improvements

I have made these improvements on my coursework to improve my magazine:


On my front cover, I added two more cover lines to help fill the negative space. I used a different front for the cover lines on the bottom right corner, as I thought it would be nice to have a variation in the fonts I use and would make the cover look more interesting. I also changed the font and font size of the pug so that it stands out more and would capture the readers attention more.
On my contents page, I fixed the subscribe text as there were spelling errors. I made the subscribe box smaller so that I could fit in more pages so I added more pages to the magazine to make it look more realistic, as a weekly magazine would have approximately 60 pages.
