DPS

The structure of my double page spread has changed. When I was placing the pull quote in the middle of my text, I have realised that not all the text would fit into one page, so I decided to place the pull quote on the other page next to the image. The image is the first thing many people would visualize - before the text so by placing the quote next to it would make it appear more attractive and make the reader not miss out on the quote said by the new artist. The quote 'This was when it changed my life!'' is placed next to the main image of the model to illustrate that it is being said by her. Moreover, I have also put an extra note mentioned by the model at the bottom of the page as a way to distribute the new single the artist has produced. I believe that this is a good way to distribute the new artists album as it would hopefully attract a range of audiences.

Front cover

I have changed by front page couple of times as I wasn't sure how to display my masthead and which image to use best. The final masthead I have chosen appears more realistic and professional compared to the masthead I'd chose before. Placing different mastheads and images gave me the chance to talk to my class mates for any improvements and opinions. This opportunity allowed me to understand the different views on my front cover and how it could appear better. My teacher told me to change the image as she thought that it wasn't a suitable image for the front cover as the front cover needs to be bold and should stand out from other magazine on the shelf, attracting the audience.
