Double page spread

This is the final double page spread. The text has been made into the correct sizea and the page has been fitted to the correct size. I changed the pull quote to a larger blue text, before it was too small and the colours didnt match the blue fridays theme that has been used thoughout the magazine. I think this text looks much nicer and fits in better than the bright orange text that was there before. I have also added the page number to the bottom right hand corner of the page, i put it there as i think the reader would expect to see it there, the colour is the same orange colour and the dont that has been used thoughout the magazine this adds to the house style further.

i have now put all the text in the three collums, the interview is split up clearly with the interviewers text in bold black italics font and the Fridays reply in a plain font. This makes it very easy for the reader to read what the fridays are saying, and what the interviewer is saying.




i have now added the main fridays title, this is large and shows the reader this is The fridays interview that was mentioned on the front cover. The fridays is in the same font as the main title, and is in blue. The title on the front cover was also in blue this adds to the overall house style of the magazine. The text also has a Shadow and a glow just like the main title does. This shows the reader that the main colour associated with the fridays is blue.



I have now added the main image of the Fridays that takes up the whole page on the left side, this photo is very colourfull and adds to the colourful appearance of the whole magazine. i have also added the first collom of text underneath the drop cap, this shows where the other two colloms will be. the text used in the interview is a plain arial font, this font is easy to read and clear to the reader.


This is a image of the start of my contents page, the image hasn't been inserted i have changed the background to the same gradient blue and white background as the contents page, this helps show house style. i have added where i want the text to start by putting in a drop cap, the drop cap is blue, this matches the blue colour of the title featured in the magazine about the fridays. The logo along the top of the page says 'Fresh! exclusively speaks to the fridays' this introduces the band to the reader, the text is in the same colour as the main title and the Orange text this adds to the continuity of the magazine. I have also put a quote from the interview of the Fridays on the opposite page where the image will go, this will go over the top of the photo and will show they have said it.


Contents page

After looking at my finished contents page i realised that there wast enough features mentioned on the page, i didnt think a customer would get their moneys worth if they bought it. I decided to make the text smaller and add more features. The new features have the same font and colour as the rest of the magazine and this keeps up with the overall house style. I have also added the page number to the bottom right hand corner of the page, i kept the colour orange as it keeps with the house style of the magazine. I put it in the bottom left hand corner as i think the reader would look for it there first.

i added the second photo to the contents page to fill up the space where there was one large image before, this is a image of one of the members of the fridays. there are no other photos where there is only one of the fridays featured in it, this helps focus on that particular person and would appeal to fans of the fridays. This image also makes the contents page look much brigthter and more interesting than it looked before.

I decided to change the two GFB photos as i think they were too dark and there wasnt enough going on in them and i think it gave the magazine a rock orientated look to it. instead i changed the large photo to one photo that has the Fridays in it. this will help show what page the main feature is on as otherwise it wouldnt have been metioned. this makes the overall look of the page look much brighter and matches the rest of the magazine.

this is my first attempt at the contents page. I changed the background from white to a gradient blue and white, this itsnt too over powering and makes the page look more interesting than plain white. The three images i have chosen are all relevent to the GFB interview that is also featured in the magazine, it is good to do this as it also mentions some other features in the magazine other than The Fridays. in between both the photos, i added a text box that matches the same style font and colour to the main title, this adds to the house style of the magazine. The title at the top of the page says 'Whats fresh this week?' i think this is more interesting than it just saying 'contents page' i have kept the same orange font on this title aswell, this gives continuity. the word 'Fresh!' in the title is also the main logo of the magazine, this also adds to the overall hosue style of the magazine. The lists of the features of the magazine, are all in the same font as the main title and in the colour orange, this will make readers intantly know ther reading Fresh magazine as those colours are used thoughout. The page numbers are in a lager font to the description of whats on the page, this enables the reader to easily find what page they want to go to and whats on that page.

Front page

I decided to change the main Fridays title to blue as i think the font page looks too orange and the text looks like its all together. i changed it to blue as on the double page spread the main title on the page is Blue and this gives a continious style thoughout of mentions of the fridays. Changing the colours of the text would also appeal to both males and females as blue is liked by both male and females, this might then increase sales.

I then added a additional box of text advertising what else is featured in the magazine, its in a orange box and inside is the same text used in the fridays title. This box is helpfull to a potential customer as if they arent a fan of the fridays this will make them buy the magazine anyway as it shows there are other features in the magazine that may appeal to them. The 'plus' title in that box also matches the main title of the magazine adding to continuity. I have also added a barcode to the magazine, i have put it underneith the additional text box and in the bottom right hand corner, i put it here as i think that the reader would expect to see it there, on top of the bar code there is also a box that has the price and issue number of the magazine, this makes it easy to see as the bar code and price box are in the same place.

i have now put the main title of the fridays interview, this will show the customer what the main feature of the magazine is along with the background photo. the font is the same font as the main title and is orange, the colour orange fits in with the house style of the magazine as orange is the main colour used in the logos and thoughout the magazine. The large subtitle that says 'exclusive' matches the main title and is in the exact same style, this helps show continuity. ive also added a large pug in the top right hand corner that is also keeping within the house style of orange. The pug gives the customer more informtaion about what else is in the magazine, this will help a potential customer buy the magazine. The pug is advertising a competition to win tickets to see The Fridays in concert. This will appeal to fans of the fridays as they may want to go and see them in concert.

This is the font cover while under construction, the photo has been put in as the background and the text advertising reading festival has been put in at the bottom of the page with the same font and colour glow as the main cover title, this shows house style. The main logo and tag line has been put in at the top of the page, i decided to put it at the top of the page as i think most readers would expect it to be there and would look there first when they buy the magazine.
