FINAL DPS

I changed a few things for my final construction. i removed the smaller image from the page as i felt it was a little clunky and irregular the page. i also made my columns a little less transparent in order for the text to stand out more and easier to reader against the background

FINAL CONTENTS PAGE

this is my final contents page construction. i added regulars, new and extra, most of this would be expected in a contents page informing the audience what to expect to be included in the magazine and where to find it. i also added a location image of my featured artist under the monthly exclusives

FINAL FRONT COVER

 

This is my final construction of my front cover. i made some changes becasue i felt the left hand side felt a little empty. i moved my barcode to the right in order to create more space for features. i added a banner on the bottom and added more artists that would be featured in the magazine. i moved the "exclusive interview..." down in order to create more space on top to create a competion. the advertised competion was done high on the page in order for it to be seen quickly by the audience. i also to made "taylor guitar" a different font to make it look more exxciting as i was only using 2 different types of fonts previously
