Update 18

Update 18

When looking at my magazine I didn't feel it was quite right. So I went back and had a look at some more RMA's and decided to make a few changes.

1. I changed the colour scheme slightly - I got rid of the purple as I didn't feel it met the codes and conventions of a Country Music Magazine and have changed it for a deep red. I have also tweaked the background colour because I didn't like the pink tinge it had. I also added in some yellow on the contents page, but this is very subtle. 
2. I have changed the font - after looking at my text and comparing it to the RMA's I decided to change the text so that they all match, therefore carrying the 'house style' through the magazine with more fluidity. I also felt that the original text didn't stand out enough.
3. I have tried to vary the font sizes more
4. I have added a black outline to the page numbers on the contents page (only the numbers on images) to help them stand out more.
5. I've gotten rid of the box behind 'Summer in the UK!' on the front page as it just didn't seem to fit with the overall theme.
6. I've re-arranged some of the contents page and replaced some of the images as they didn't fit with the theme and the connecting story.
7. I have added a black border to all the images
8. There are now black lines between the page numbers and the story's in the 'Other Stories' columns.This helps to give the page more definition and I feel it also helps the page to flow better.
9. I'm changing the main model again, as she doesn't feel old enough to be on the front cover of a magazine, I have therefore gotten rid of these images until I can re-shoot with a new model.
10. I'm also changing the posters so have gotten rid of these too.
11. On the double page spread I have changed the page numbers to white, however I may change this again once the new images are put in.
12. I have made the Q. and A.'s more interesting by making them red and slightly bigger than the rest of the text.
13. I have re-positioned the pull quotes slightly.
14. I have gotten rid of the quote on the left hand page and will replace it once I have the new images.

I would also like to add some more to the front cover as compared to the RMA's it is rather empty.
