FC,CP,DPS

This is my contents page which is not the final outcome which is the same for all of the other pages. I believe that it works and looks aesthetically pleasing but doesn't look professional, I also think the same for the front cover. Some ways I think I can improve this is by enlarging the font size of the subheadings/page numbers to make them standout, I could change the colour of the font to blue, as that is part of the colour scheme. One problem with this image and the image below includes the fact that they are rather dark and it is slightly hard to see the cover star, because of this I will have to increase the brightness and contrast.

To get the effect of the cover star covering the background font, I could have done two different ways, this included either using the snipping tool and cut the cover star out and place him in the foreground and the writing in the background or what I did do was selected the text layer, and rubbed the letters out which was Manuel and a longer process, but I done it because I also use the other method when completing a task like this. I also changed the font colour to white, this made it much more visible and easier to read. overall I believe its a good design but still needs improving, I will collect peoples opinions and base my changes on them.

This is my original design/ layout for my double page spread and I think it's good but still has room for improvement. Some aspects that worked well include the fact that I added the artists next concert and time which will link to the front cover because I will eventually add a puff which suggests that in one copy of the issue will be free tickets to this concert.Some things that I can change or add include the fact the no social media accounts have been placed on the DPS which is very conventional in a lot of magazines. Secondly I would like to add some text about the artist and make the both texts tighter into columns making it look more professional. Lastly I would like to add another quote from the artist to help fill up the page.
