Rough cuts

From the last rough cut I changed the font of the masthead to 'capture it' as it is bolder and so attracts the attention of readers. I added a thicker outer edge to the 'Harriet' so that it is more eye cacthing than before. I added some sell lines to the left hand side and a circle on the top right to put some information in.

This is my first rough cut of my front cover. I like the quote used at the bottom as I think it stands out against the background. I like the font which I have chosen for the title Harriet however I do not feel that it stands out enough so needs to be bigger and bolder. I also think that the masthead 'Musik' needs to be stronger.

This is a rough cut of when I first started constructing my contents page. I decided on two columns with a large picture of the artist on the right with writing underneath explaining what it is about. I made specific titles such as 'Live' and 'features' so that the reader can quickly skip to the content which they are interested in. From the last rough cut I finished entering all of the information saying what is included within the magazine. I decided to change the next because I felt that the text before was to large and I wanted something simple so that the reader can quickly read through and so that the focus is on the main image. I also made the text closer together because it was wasted space when the spacing was far apart. I made the outline of 'Liz Mcdade' bigger so that it stands out against the background. I also added an editors letter because I think that people will be interested in this.

Here I started to construct my double page spread. I decided to have three collumns for the text to go in and inserted a quote from the text in the middle of the page so that it will attract the reader and give them an insight into what the interview will include. I decided to have the whole of the right page with the main image so that this is the main focus and relates to the article.

On this rough cut I enlarged the image on the right page so that it fills the whole page and looks more professional. I also changed the two names of 'Harriet' and 'Harriet Smith' from a pink colour to a red colour to experiment. I inserted my article and made sure that it flowed on from each collumnI added a smaller image at the bottom of the left page to break up all of the text and make it more intresting to look at.
