Double Page Article [Draft]

In this post, my draft layout will be presented for my triple page article. I have created 3 pages for the main article to give focus on the main cover artist which is REIKA. It is also distinguish it from other articles on my magazine.

Peer Assessment and Improvements Made

To make sure that my work can be improved, the peer assessment is presented to make sure I maintain a professional layout and consider the target audience for my music magazine cover and contents page drafts.

Student Name 1: Athena	How To Improve
Level/ Mark	Front Cover	Contents Page
Front Cover : Level 4/50 Content Page: Level 4/52	The Front Cover is great it complements the genre. The text used upon the page has a great font. The only problem is the purple text for ‘The Exclusive Interview’ its slightly hidden and is hard to make out, the barcode could be made smaller but other from that it’s an awesome front cover	The content page is also great, the colour scheme is awesome and the use of the front cover upon the content page makes It more professional. The numbering of the page can be changed, having page numbers up to around 75? Still the magazine looks awesome; the use of the web addresses as well looks very professional.

Student Name 1: Athena	How To Improve
Level/ Mark	Front Cover	Contents Page
Front cover Level 4 – 52 marks Really good, the font goes well with the image, and it is clear and easy to read. The colour scheme suits the genre. Contents Page Level 4 – 54 marks It’s really good! Looks really professional. Everything looks equally spaced out, which makes it easier for readers to see, all the fonts and colours are clear.	The improvements that could be made, maybe for the colour of price and the month to be black, so that it would  be more clearer for readers to see. Also for the puffs to be raised a bit higher so that it looks more even and spaced out.	Space out the contents numbers a bit more. And maybe make the links a bit larger.

These are the improved draft based on the peer assessment:

For the cover page, I reduced the size of the bar code and re-position the date and the price. I also made the anchorage text "The exclusive Interview" bolder and have a under tone to it. I also change the price's font to make it more visible.

In the contents page, I changed the pages up to 60. This to make sure that audience gets what they paid for.

Contents Page [Draft]

In this post, my draft contents page layout is presented i which follows the colour scheme of white, black and red which was proposed earlier in the final magazine proposal. The contents page also has given a reference to the cover page to make sure the house style and the connection between to the two pages are distinguished.
