Unused images

I decided not to use this shot as it is a long shot, and it is hard to see the artist's face, therefore I felt medium shots would be better as if the audience can see the artist's face then they can instantly recognise them as being an artist they are familiar with.

I decided not to use this image as the artist's feet are cut off, therefore it looks unprofessional. I do however like the intial idea of this image as I thought it would suit my double page spread very well, therefore I re took it.

I decided not to use this image as again it is a long shot and the artist's face cannot be seen clearly.

I decided not to use this image as I thought it would look more professional for the artist to not have their coat and bag on, as conventionally in indie music magazines the artist is typically pictured in just a t shirt or jumper with trousers.

Double page spread updated

I have only made minor changes to this as I have added a bit more text to the interview, and I have moved the "Danny Brown" slightly as when I printed it out it went over where the page fold would be.

contents page updated

I have changed this as I have decided to use just one background colour rather than two, as this is more conventional for indie music magazines. I have also put the contents in to catergories of regulars and features, as it is conventional to have this in music magazines and it looks more professional.

Front cover updated

I have made some minor changes as I have included a website under the masthead, which is conventional for music magazines as it encourages the audience to visit the website. I have also made the articles so they are not infront of the artist as it is conventional that the featured articles fit around the artist.

Contents page updated

This is my most recent version of my contents page. I have changed the font colours on the contents so they are a mixture of red, black and green. I have done this because it is conventional in indie music magazines, and appeals more to the audience because the audience are people that stand out. I have also added a website and date as it is conventional for music magazines to do this.

Front cover updated

This is my most recent version of my front cover.  I have changed it by adding effects to the text to make it stand out more to the audience. I have also moved the puff to the corner as before it was too big and in the way.

Double page spread updated

I have updated it so that the US flag cover the whole page, as this makes it look like one page. I have also changed the photographs in to black and white, and I have added the outer glow effect to the font to make it sand out against the background.
