Pre Production - Continued

I decided to make some slight changed to my magazine after showing it to people from my target audience, getting constructive criticism on how to make it better and even more professional looking.

In the end I changed my masthead and found a font that I felt was more appropriate than my hand drawn design because I felt it was what was making the product lack in professionalism, as you can see unwanted edges because the quality of scanning is lesser than a proper font already on the software.

I changed the title on this by altering the image behind to a different image of lips that looked neater and more like a ‘pout’ as the other was hard to identify at first, I wanted something people would instantly realise what it is, which I feel the second titles does. I changed that but used the same font but with a different shape to it, so it fits the shape of the lips better, I feel it now fits the context of the article appropriately and looks more professional.

I had to make my text smaller as on physical print it looked too big. I made it smaller from ’12pt’ to ‘9pt’ this made it look like I had less text, so I added more text to fill the page and make sure all the columns were full, I then changed the positioning of the pull quotes because at first I felt they were too close. I now think these alterations have improved my double page spreads appearance.
