The improvements I have made to my final pieces

Front cover- On my front cover I have changed one of my side stories to "7 tips to becoming a DJ" so it gives the reader something to do and they can learn something from reading that article. I have also changed the image for my poster in the top right hand corner so it looks more like a poster image. I have also added a silhouette to the article about the DJ who has hit back against rumors, this adds an element of mystery to the magazine. I have also added that John Lloyd is an international DJ. This will let the reader know what he is as soon as they look at the front cover.

Contents page- On my contents page I have added a website so readers of the magazine can subscribe to the magazine. This adds the element of social media and internet to my magazine which fits my target audience as they are teenagers and teenagers tend to use a lot of social media and internet.  I have also changed what Jake King is saying by adding the word DJ. This is so readers know what genre of music he performs and creates.

Double page spread- On my double page spread I have changed what John Lloyd is saying to 'I'm getting famous so quickly'. This shows he is a rising star and many readers and fans of music are very interested in new music stars. I have also added who the magazine are interviewing the following week, this is so the readers can determine if they're going to buy the magazine to read the article. I have also made the Intro to the text stand out. This is to let the audience know where the text starts.

Changes I made to get my final pieces

Front cover- To Improve my front cover I have made the image brighter, added many more cover lines and used various colours and fonts. I have also added an article about a poster in the top right hand corner which I added another one of my images.


Contents page- I gave my contents page a whole new look by adding new images, new colours fonts and layout. To get this final contents page I looked at many examples to help me create this final one which i believe is a much bigger improvement.

Double page spread- For my double page spread I have made the image brighter and have evenly spaced out my columns and added a small picture in-between the text as this is very common on double page spreads. I have also added the word "exclusive" at the top so the page has is specifically important.
