The change

Recently, after fully completing my music magazine, I have come to the conclusion that Good Vibes doesn't contain as many conventional features and ideas that are contained within real music magazines. Also, lack of fully checking the design has led to an overall disappointment with the final piece, the text is too vague, the masthead is not bold and the main image is zoomed out too far.

The contents page lacks in headings for articles as well as the article column looking chaotic. Real music magazines contain headings for their articles as well as a simple, yet effective layout to the page which contains fonts and colours which identify their target audience. Although Good Vibes contains the right colours, the layout needs to be reformed as well as some of the content of the magazine. 

The double page spread contains most features of a real music magazine, however, blue panels behind the text confuses readers and is not a conventional feature to a double page spread, also one of the pages needs to be a whole image. 

These changes Will be made to the original copies of Good Vibes. However, there will be still images of the final copies to compare with as well as images on the blog. More importantly, The research and planning for the magazine will be altered in necessary; the colour scheme and genre will stay the same so little content will be edited. The evaluation however, will be altered as i will be evaluating almost a new piece of work.

The overall changes that will be done to Good Vibes will not only improve the look and design of the magazine, but portray a clearer vision of the target audience and include more features of a real music magazine.
