Update on DPS

Here is the updated version of my Double Page Spread, again getting feedback off my peers made me realise I had a lot of wasted space, therefore I decided to expand my article and create a fashion 'DOs and DON'Ts'. I felt something short and simple yet effective would relate to all ranges of my target audience and make them more eager to read more of my magazine. I kept my lined layout to keep uniqueness running throughout my magazine, and kept one image to really highlight my model. I prefer my DPS having more information on the page as it looks much more professional and readable.

Contents Page Update


When getting feedback from my peers it was suggested that I needed to clean up a lot of my white space on my contents page, therefore I decided to add an autumnal, greenery background to my page. I felt this looks a lot more professional and invites more of an audience to read and browse my contents page. Looking at the difference between my contents page before changing my background, I noticed having a colorful background makes my magazine look more professional and sophisticated rather than boring and basic. Furthermore, I decided to use only four images that linked to my four different sections of information, then adding a editors note to engage more with my audience. I feel adding an editors note relates more to my target audience as they will feel more involved and attached to my product.

Front Cover Update

Here is my update for my Front Cover, getting feedback allowed me to change and highlight certain information. For example using a different autumnal color to make specific words standing out. I used gold to make the words 'shadows' stand out to link to my dominant image and make the shadow of my model fit in my magazine more smoothly. Furthermore, I made my main headline larger to stand out from my sub-headlines. I feel this has much more improvements and fits better to my target audience now there is more color and organization.
