Double page spread text edit

I felt my double page spread was looking bare in terms of text so I decided to add a headline and more content to the questions. I am overall now very happy with all the text and won't be reworking it anymore. I do however need to incorporate another photo onto the page.

Rough cut double page spread

This is my rough cut of my double page spread. I am most happy with my double page spread as it challenges stereotypical conventions of a music magazine. But doesn't look so unconventional that it doesn't work. Improvements I could make to this would be the text. As I have chosen a difficult layout it becomes difficult to organise text. Then also because my text is made up of different sections that cannot be mixed. It's a difficult challenge but if I can overcome it it will be effective. Overall I am pleased with my double page spread but still have a few alterations to make. I will post my feedback on my double page spread soon.

Rough cut contents page

Again I have reverted to the red house colour and changed it on my contents page as well. I am happy with the layout of my contents page in terms of photo and my initial plan, however I am still not satisfied with the text on the page. I may consider adding another small photo on the page and changing the text. I will also be posting my feedback on my contents page soon.

Rough cut front cover

I decided to revert back to my initial red colour for the house colour before handing in my rough cut. I also FINALLY decided on my front cover photo I am happy with the model, pose and positioning. However I may retake the photo making it more focused and change the outfit of my model. Overall I am happy with the standard of my rough cut and at this point am happy in the knowledge where I can improve. I will be posting shortly my audience feedback on what they think needs improving.
