Modifications to my Coursework

Front cover: Much has been changed, the main logo, has been completely re-done, and made to look less media friendly. I've now used a white typing font on a black background. It's made to look less mainstream, which is something the Indie community shy away from. They like the idea of non-conforming, which is shown with the use of the magazine representing new, unsigned bands that have yet to break into the mainstream music scene. I used it, as it vaguely reminded me, of the font used for The Sex Pistols logo, which were a band well known for not conforming or abiding by mainstream rules. I've also added a few more features such as a small, sort of circular sticker advertising "50 new bands." As well as adding the "New year issue" below the magazine logo, in order to emphasise the fact, the magazine includes new and exclusive content.

Contents: Again the magazine logo has been changed, and more information about the magazines contents has been added, but not a lot has changed, as I'm fairly happy with it.

Double Page Spread: My double page spread is near completion. I have moved the British flag with the title "A New Curve Of British Music?" into the middle of the two pages, in order for the feature to look less sloppy, and more professional. Three photos have been added, with a faded blurred effect, in order for the pictures to look much more integrated into the article, instead of just being added on in a rush. Also the whole feature of the band "The Curve" is that they are just rising to fame, so blurring the images of them, gives off the impression that they are still not very well known, so this will suggest to the reader that the magazine is giving the audience a dominated reading, saying to them, that they think this band will be big. This has also been referenced in the front cover "...the band coming out of focus into the new year." Finally a small paragraph has been added to give the band a small introduction to the reader, as well as a small caption of writing beneath the centre title.

All of the changes can be seen in the post below.
