DP Spread FINAL (Version #4)

After revising my previous draft I thought it would be good if i dimmed the Pound note on the rapper's face as it looked like a piece of cardboard and not money. I also made a few more minor touches like moving text around and re-aligning columns and I also gave the pullquote colour to make the page a bit more interesting.

DP Spread Draft #3

Here I present my 3rd draft for my Double page spread. Using pre-existing dp spreads for music magazines I was able to arrange my page in such a way that it actually looks like one by carefully following conventions. I thought it would be conventional to use the colours red and green on my DP spread since I'm using them on both the front cover and contents page. When we compare this new draft to my previous one It is a lot better in terms of style and arrangement; I justified the article to give the columns a much cleaner look and added in the other missing conventions to give it that realistic feel.

DP Spread (Draft #2)

I present to you my 2nd Draft for my Double Page spread, in this one I have inserted my feature story. When compared to the previous draft we can now see that it is looking a lot more like an actual double page spread. It is not yet complete though as there's still a lot more work to be done before its finalized.

FINAL CONTENTS PAGE

 The only notable change that I made is in the 'NEWS' section as it wasn't conventional to just list names of the artists and not say something briefly about them. To the bottom of the contents page I capitalized the contact information as I found it to be conventional on pre existing products. The last thing I did was move around the images and other conventions; in millimeters, making slight adjustments.

FINAL FRONT COVER

After weeks of drafting; experimenting with font style, layout, imagery and colour I finally came to a conclusion with my music magazine's cover. It boasts a big red Masthead 'JAMZ' which is something you just cannot miss because it has an authoritative approach. Everything sits really well and the elements work great with eachother. There's no dramatic change to this final one when compared to the previous draft; I only tweaked up what was necessary by making slight movements to text and changing the date.

Draft #3 (CONTENTS)

 

After a few minor adjustments to the previous draft I can now say that I am pretty much wrapping up this contents page and on my way of producing the final draft. Here I have my Second (3rd) Draft for my contents page; as you can see I have put a lot more work into my contents by adding the remaining conventions under the News, Interview, Features and Poster sections. I tried experimenting different font styles, orientation, imaging and colour schemes. I thought it would be necessary to use green and red since those colours are currently being used on my front cover; both colours work nicely together since they are complimentary on the colour wheel. Furthermore it makes even more sense because it shows continuity.
