Drafting and Planning: Final Draft Front Cover

Here is my final draft of my front cover. After much thought, I decided to cut the top part of the image where there was a building. This has made the image better. I have also added another cover line to improve the blankness. I am fond of this front cover. 

Drafting and Planning: Final Draft Contents Page

I have improved my contents page. I have added much more text, making it more acceptable as a weekly magazine with 67 pages. I have made the font much smaller, which was in order to fit the extra pages. I have added a tagline of 'This week in S&A'. I have made the page numbers more logical and they now work well. I have also changed the background into the same grey as the double page spread, which creates a consistent colour scheme. 

Drafting and Planning: Improvements for Contents Page

To improve my contents page I feel that I need to add more articles and pages to my magazine. I also need to make sure the page numbers are logical and make sense in reference to the rest of the magazine. I may also change the background colour as white is bland. I may make it the same colour as my improved double page spread, which is grey. I may also change the subscribe as it does not look particularly realistic.

Drafting and Planning: Final Draft Double Page Spread

Here is my improved double page spread. My inspiration came from this article about Graham Coxon. I have moved my pull quote and made it much bigger. I have changed the background colour to a light grey, as the blue was random and didn't match the colour scheme. I plan to change the contents to a grey background also. The colour of the font is green.
