My final magazine with some editing

 

This is my final finished magazine. I have edited a few things about each page. I made a new barcode from scratch on paint instead of taking a picture of one because I decided it looked more proffesional than a blurred picture of a barcode. On my contents page I moved the articles up and made the bottom picture of the hand longer so it didn't look so squashed. On my double page spread I checked my spelling and grammer and changed the way I put certain things to make it make more sense or just sound more proffesional.

Barcode

This is my barcode that I am going to put on the front cover of my magazine:
I used paint to make the barcode and tried to make it as real as I can by using a picture of a barcode found on google that I then used as a draft for my barcode.

Changes I need to make to my Double page spread

First paragraph:
Move "quite frankly I love it over" and change sentence to "I listened to my favourite singer Demi Lavato and it inspired me to follow my dreams because of the things she had also been through and quite frankly I love it"
Second paragraph:
"As well as losing my dad which made me go off the rails"
Last paragraph on the first column:
"Words cannot describe it"
First paragraph second column
"I've"
Second paragraph
"follow my dreams anyway!"
Fourth paragraph
"make a new album"

How my video feedback helped me make changes to my magazine

My first set of videos I did the two girls told me what they liked best about my magazine. This helped me because when I then went to make changes I made sure I kept the things they said they liked best, for example I made sure I carried on the use of bright colours throughout the magazine as my target audience said that it worked well and made the star on the front cover bigger and brighter as they commented on the fact that it caught their eye and made the front cover look better. The feedback from my videos also made me make improvements to the pictures used in my magazine because the girls said they were important and caught their eye so I wanted to make them look even better and add more pictures because the girls emphasised that pictures that are well edited and look good make the magazine look a lot better. I also used the feedback to give me the confidence to stick with my original ideas, especially in the contents page. I wanted my articles to be spread out on the page with just a line of information about them underneath and although a lot of people said it wouldn't look right or it wouldn't look professional I liked it and thought it did and went well with how I wanted my magazine to look and feel and by one of the girls commenting on the fact that she likes the way the articles are spread out and there isn't many made them feel more individual and she knew what ones were important and what ones to look for at first when she brought the magazine. Doing my second set of target audience helped me make sure that the things that were said in the first set of videos were still good in the second set, for example the bold writing and pictures were said again and the pictures were said they were better.
