Draft Magazine

This is the completed version of my magazine however i will be editing it over time from feedback and things that i should change to help me to get a better mark. As you can see my house colours are red, white and black these colours match my genre, the red connotating power and how my magazine is better than any other magazine on the shelf, the white connotating trust and honesty and how the audience can trust my magazine to give them everything they expect from this type of magazine. These colours mixed with the high contrast black and white background creates a very appealing image on my front cover that many people would notice when they pick the magazine up. My magazine features typical conventions such as all of the appearances a normal magazine on the shelf would feature such as a masthead, sell lines, bar codes, prices, issue numbers and many other conventions that i feel help make this a very successful magazine.

This is my final contents page however a few changes are still to be made as i have recieved feedback and want to make it as good as possible. To make this as proffesional looking as possible i have also used all the codes and conventions of a contents page, i have used the main selling ideas and competitions as such on my contents page to really make the audience want to read my magazine as its very original and appeals to a wide audience. When creating this contents i made sure i followed my key colours and house theme to make sure every page of my magazine feels the same and doesnt look like a different magazine. I have highlighted important info and the most exciting pages on the contents column so the audience an easily flick through my magazine without any hassle.
This is my final article draft but yet again  needs editing according to my feedback as i have yet to gain feedback. I have also followed star models to yet again produce a productive professional double page spread.

Diary Entry 12
