Final products


This is my front cover, after taking into consideration the feedback I gained I only changed one small thing on my front cover. This was the position of the drop shadow on the image that I had used. After the feedback I realised that I had put this in the wrong place, therefore allowed the front cover to look unprofessional.

My contents page was the page that suffered the hashish criticism, as the layout was not allowing the page to flow. Therefore a lot of changes had to be made. I moved the layout allowing all the image to be on the right hand side and with the text to be on the left hand side. This then meant that there was an empty space in the bottom of the left hand corner. Therefore to fill this space I placed a competition there using the bold and increased font size of selected words to allow the contents page to link with the front cover. I have also changed the background of the male image as it didn't fit in with the rest of the images used. I have also changed the image of the model on the front cover as all the images were either close ups or medium-close up there changed it to this to allow the page to flow. I have also change the look of the page numbers on the images, as it looked to old and wouldn't appeal to my target reader. therefore I have increased the size of the image and just placed the number of the page in various places on the image. The last change I have done is the font of the headings, I felt that the font used was hard to read and to small, so I changed it so a bold font that would catch the readers eye.


The feedback on my spread was very good, with only a small criticism of the simplistic masthead which needed an effect and the image used. However I have good reason for the image therefore did not change it but did put a slight effect on the masthead. I also increased the size of the masthead but used the horizontal took, to allow the text to be more closely placed, to allow the empty space that was seen above and below the masthead to be used.
