My Double Page Spread in editing.











In my draft drawing of my double page spread I aimed to produce an article with a layout that wasn't 100% typical and boring. This is why I have placed my main image in the middle of the two pages, instead of dedicating a full page to that image. I decided to stick to my colour theme of red, dark blue and light blue which I have used on my front cover and contents page to stick to a theme and make my magazine look as professional as possible. As you can see from my screen grabs, I changed the font of my masthead, as it was hard to read against the blue background, so instead I chose another font from dafont.com and put it against a lighter background (still sticking to the colour scheme.)

My Contents Page in Editing













Summary
As you can see from looking at the draft drawing of my contents page, my ideas haven't changed too much. I've tried to stick to the same colour scheme as my finished front cover product, to set up a theme for my magazine. These colours (red, dark blue & light blue) signify;anger - which indie artists tend to look, the dark blue can signify rock as it's a dark and dull colour, and finally I chose to use light blue as it contrasts the two darker colours I have chosen.

My Front Cover In Editing












Summary
As you can see from looking at my first draft design, my ideas have changed throughout the duration of producing my Indie magazine front cover. This was mainly due to the fact that whilst taking my questionnaire results into consideration, I was also looking and researching into various other Indie magazine front covers, and so therefore adapting my ideas to look more believably like an Indie music magazine, and so therefore would appeal to my target audience.
