This is my post evaluation front cover. There is a few changes I have made since my previous front cover. Instead of my pug saying win 4 tickets, I have changes it to ''Win Leeds tickets" The reason for this change is because 'win 4 tickets' wasn't very clear and could have mislead the readers. The fact that it now states that they can win Leeds tickets, which is an indie-rock festival, they would be more inclined to buy the magazine since my target audience largely attend festivals. Also, I changes to the font of the text within the plug to the same font that is used in the banner at the bottom of the page. This allows my magazine to have more of a house style, and not only that, the style looks much better and easily read compared the other font which was thinner and looked crammed together, especially the word 'tickets'.
Before, the pull quote along with the anchorage text was on a slant. Originally, I thought this would look different and good. However, with asking some of my target audience, they stated they would prefer it if the quote was straight, as it did not look very professional. Therefore, the quote is now straight. I used the ruler tool on fireworks to ensure it was exactly straight. This now aligns with the conventions of a typical magazine, and has a better design.
The banner at the top of my page font has changed. I originally used a serif font, to show it was classical as the line states it is the leading indie rock magazine in the UK. However, I decided to change the font to a sans serif font. This now matches the conventions of and indie rock magazine, and it also will appeal to my target audience more as it looks more fun and relaxed, to fit with the laid back teenage stereotype.
This is the updated contents page. There is only one more change that I made from my previous. This was I edited the mini summaries. Before they were all very spaced out, however now they do not look as spaced out, allowing the magazine to look more established and professional.
This is the final double page spread for my media products. I have enlarged the amount of space I have used for the article. The blue boxes are wider and longer. I have done this to fully utilize the amount of space I had to work with. This was good as it made it look more professional. The first letter of the article that is enlarged 'C' has been changed from black to blue. This is something I saw a lot through my research, such as the Q magazine making their first letter big and red. I have done this too add more colour to my magazine and for it to meet more of the typical conventions. The font for the article looks more classic and fine, this makes it an easier read and more professional.
The final word of the article is the writer twitter username. I have made this a bit larger than the rest of the article to enhance the fact that NOISE is an up to date magazine that is in trend with the social media. This is something my readers would want from a magazine, and this is what the larger font is setting into the audiences mind.
The text next to the barcode is in colour instead of black which is was previously, this again draws the attention to it, since it is an interesting, exclusive video, and also, adds bursts of colour again to the double page spread.
I have changed the pull quote on the right of the magazine. Previously, it was the same quote which appeared on the front cover, but now it is a new quote, which is another factor which will make the audience want to read the magazine.
