My final finished draft of my magazine




This is my final magazine. I changed the layout of things on my front cover, for example the words "FT Skye" were diagonal  over her and I changed them to be straight as well as being bolder. I also added the price to take up some plain space and moved things around slightly but overall my front cover has not changed too much. I changed a lot about my contents page to make it look like a real magazines contents page by adding more articles and pictures and having the layout similar to a real magazine,  I picked out the most important articles and have them going down the page in lines with a little bit of information about the article. I tried to make that little bit of information seem interesting and different. I also put pictures from the most important articles with bold writing next to it, to add affect and as my contents page looked boring and unfinished before.  By doing this it also took up all the white space on my contents page. I didn't change much about my double page spread because I felt when comparing it to a real magazine they looked similar. I just added something at the end of the interview about a competition that I saw some teenage magazines had which I thought worked well. I learnt more about what real magazines had and tried to put some of those ideas into my finished magazine.

  1. Hi Bethany,

    I know this is your final draft but I would suggest that you make a couple of changes before I give a final mark.

    Firstly, the barcode on your cover does not look professional - please consider changing this.

    Secondly, your contents page lacks sufficient content - for £2.50 your readers are going to expect more articles!

    Let me know if you have any questions about these,

    Mrs Hill
