This my first draft of my DPS. I tried to stick to the colour theme of the DPS picture, tieing in the greens. I am happy with the article I have wrote as I think that it is something that you may read in a rock magazine, about rebellion and individuality. I used one of the pictures from my first photoshoot because, from looking at the front cover, people are going to know that this is the main DPS article of the magazine. One negative about my DPS is that the font is very oversized and I'm not able to fit any more pictures in the magazine. I will be re drafting this DPS to fix it all up.

Double Page Spread Analysis

This is my second redraft on my music magazine front cover. I took on all of the feedback that I was given from my 1st draft. I added a strapline mentioning the indie rock band Kings Of Leon so the audience will know what genre my magazine is. I added a photograph of from a concert underneath the headline 'Leeds Fest 2013' and lastly I changed the colour of some of my text so it was easier to read but also I added shadows and more effects to some of the text so it doesn't look plain and stuck to the page.

1st Contents Page Draft

This is my first draft on my contents page. What I am happy with on this draft is the fonts that I have used. I think that they really suit the rock genre and look very professional. I also really like the layout of my magazine, which was inspired by one of Q Magazines contents pages. One negative about this draft is that I don't think it is colourful enough, and it looks a bit bland and boring. Also, It looks slightly bare. For my next contents page draft I am going to add more images onto the page with more feautures. The feedback that I got from my teacher is that I should add page numbers, and maybe possibly fit in a web address. Also that there needs to be more clear reference to the genre, so to do this I could add a competition to win tickets or something that relates to my genre such as a guitar, Leeds Festival tickets, a drum set etc.

Feedback On First Front Cover Draft

The feedback suggestions: - Some of the text is hard to read against the background, I can improve this by choosing better colours for the text. - Use a strapline to identify what the genre of your music magazine is. - Include a few inset images
