Double Page Spread

Double Page Spread - Third Draft

After looking at my focus group feedback, I looked at my double page spread again and adjusted some parts to it. Though I didn't make many changes, I changed the main square image to one of her looking more happy and fun, in contrast to the one I used previously. I also changed the colour of the interview questions to the same colour as that of the 'Molly Booker' text which is on the front cover. I also wanted to make the text wrap around the image on the right page, however, I was unable to do so. 

Contents Page - Third Draft

After looking at my feedback from the focus group, I again, edited my contents page in InDesign, though I have come to a result of having two designs, which I am unsure as to what one I prefer.

For this design, I firstly added another article on 'Tour dates' and made the magazine website address bigger. Secondly, I added boxes around the text frames, in order for it to be read clearer. However, because of this, I didn't think the balance was right, so I moved the social networking icons. However, I didn't really like the look of the articles in boxes, so I decided to make one without boxes around the articles, though still keeping the other changes I made previously.

I have decided that to find out which one I want, I will ask some of my target audience on their views.

Focus Group

This is the feedback from my focus group. However, to have gained the most helpful feedback, I should have used a wider range of people, though the ones I chose still fit into the target audience, I could have participated more males.

Double Page Spread - Second Draft

Looking at both of my double page spread designs, I decided to go for the second design.

I think this second draft of the design is much better, though I'm still unsure as to the amount of images on the dps. However, I'm happy with the change of the font and pull quotes. 

Contents Page - Second Draft

Though there are not major adjustments, I have made slight changes, by adding the social networking icons and some of the text.
