Social Media Background Transparancy

When adding the social media logos, I noticed there was some white space around the logo itself, so using the quick selection tool I selected the white areas and deleted them to create a transparent background which I could then place on my Indesign document.

Enlarged Font Sizes

In the bottom right corner of the page, the text was in a rather small font which left a lot of empty space on the page, so I have enlarged the text in the 'plus' section in order to fill the space and leave less gaps between the small photos on the left and the text on the right.

More Shifted to Right

Following my earlier decision to move the majority of text on the page to the right side, it felt odd and out of place to have the 'plus' section remaining in the bottom left, so I have also moved this to the bottom right in order to follow this 'right orientated' layout, as is conventional in a music magazine of my genre.

Weekly Review (Timekeeping)

This week (9-16 April 2017) I have continued with my aim to continue making minor adjustments and alignments to make my magazine the best it can be.

I spent a significant portion of the week working on the front cover, before moving onto the contents and double page spread towards the latter part of the week.

This week coming (16-23 April 2017) I intend to make the final touches to my magazine in preparation for the final cut deadline on Tuesday 25th April.

Overlapping Titles

For the headline and sub-headline of my double page spread, I decided to create a fade effect on both, and then overlap the subheading over the heading to achieve a slightly more dynamic look, rather than a standard headline and sub headline beneath it. The subheading has been moved up quite significantly, as it originally only just overlapped but now fully overlaps. I also made the subheading fade into the clouds to make it seem more natural and less forced.

Chronological Page Numbers

On my contents page, I decided to change the numbering of some of the articles to a chronological sequence to follow music magazine conventions, as my contents page previously had featured articles with non-chronological ordering which did not look very professional or organised.

Contents Page Improvement

On the contents page, I decided to make the word 'Abbie' on the caption bigger than the standard text for captions on that page. This was to subtly point out that this article is the main article of the magazine, as it was on the front cover and therefore has somewhat more importance than the other featured articles.
