Evaluation

 

This is the Evaluation for my Music Magazine product. It answers seven questions all based on my magazine and why I have made every step along the way.

Infinity-Against The Current

Evolution of DPS Banner

The Double Page Spread banner is slanted and in Red. It contains the feature title (Bright Loves!) the Bright Logo, the Artist Name and a Slogan

 

 

I removed this banner on my final cut. The top portion of the page shows the feature name, the slogan for the article, the band's name and a Cover story stamp which is a convention of We Love Pop.

Evolution of Contents Images

 

There are three images in my preliminary task contents page. Two of the images are connected as they link with the same story, while the top image is a continuation of the front cover image.

 

 

There are two images on my rough cut contents page. The first is the front cover which is a convention on most magazines. The second is an album cover linking to my reviews section.

 

I have five images on my final cut contents page The first is a continuation of the front cover image, the second being a link to an artist reviewd in the reviews section. Finally the third, fourth and fifth images are all posters for the poster section





 

Evolution of Contents Extras

 



On the preliminary task, there are seven main stories split into the grid layout, two of these stories are linked to the surrounding images. The page numbers are all in bold red and the text is in a smaller blue.

 

 

The features on my rough cut are all meant to appeal on my target audience. They are split into main featuires and reviews. The main features are pink and white with the page numbers yellow and red. In the Reviews section the features and page numbers are all green.

 

 

Finally on the final cut. The reviews and main features are all in neater plain black font. The main features' page numbers are in a yellow font, while the reviews page numbers are blue and highlighted in red. In the Main features the artist's names are highlighted in Red.









Evolution of Contents Layout

For the contents I laid it out by having a main image at the top half of the page, and having the main contents below it, in a grid method similar to what Q does.

 

On the Rough cut I split the page into three, banner, features and reviews. again this was recieved neagatively as it did not look nearly professional enough

 

 

Finally I merged it all into one on my final cut. The features and reviews remain split however they aren't clearly divided like on the rough cut







 



Evolution of Contents Banner

 

The banner on the contents page is exactly the same as it appeared on the front cover. The only difference is that it has been shrunk and moved to the top-left of the page. THe design and colours are the same.

 

The banner on my rough cut contents page was too big and the colour scheme overall did not help it. It featured my logo, the name and the slogan. All in the Red and Orange colour scheme

 

 

Like how the banner on the front cover evolved, I removed the banner and merged the contents with the rest of the page. The name moved to the very top of the page and the slogan made bigger
