masthead research

Firstly i had decided that I wanted to do my logo free hand and so I made a page full of differents styles i could use. all this different fonts choosen has come from http://www.1001freefonts.com/ and are drawn out to see what style will best suit the purpose of my magazine.




I had made my magazine logo by free hand and like usual Ispend extra time in making everything to prefection. i latter on discovered that i could have used specific tools like the magic want tool and then strok outlune to help me achieve a sharper and clearer edge.

Table of Contents

draft 2


I like the format of my page however a few more adjustmaents need to be made so that it suits the style of SOLIDIC magazine and so that there is a linkage between the cover and the double page spread.
The format of my table of contents changed dramatically. My 1st draft was too creative to be like a standerd format table of contentsso i changed it. i used the standerd house style colours so that the document can look consistent throughout the magazines. i took pictures of the artst Sonia Naza Ali and left some of the both the images that was used in the 1st draft so that the document is consistent with the magazine front cover.
i have added images of an urban landscape so that it fits in with the genre aimed at.

l have added features like the issue number so that it looks more like a standerd table of contents.i also added a border to match the magazine logo.

Double Page Spread

final draft 2


final

there isn't a huge change to get from my first draft to my final piece. firstly i changed the format of my my text so that it was clearer to read and then I also changed the font size so that it appeals to my target audience, having it the size i did was quite intimidating to the age range i am targeting at. from the page number section i removed "page" from the number so that I could make the number bigger also I had moved the page number that was over the main image to highlight the importance of the image.

I printed out the 2nd draft document so that i could see what it would look like if the 2nd draft was my final product then i found lots of errors that would make my document look un-prefessional so I made changes to it to make it look my like a real magazine. and i am happy with my end product.
