Second Draft

I didn't make any extreme changes to my magazine; however I did take into account what my reviewers said. On the front cover I concentrated on making it look more lively by making the main image contrast with against the background which I made one block of colour. I also changed the colour of the text on a lot of the captions to black to make them stand out more and only used green text for that which I wanted to contrast against the main text eg headlines, names etc. I moved my picture to the right slightly as it was suggested that it was not very easy to read VERTIGO and as it isn't a very common word and not many people know what it means, it could be misread. Finally, I added more text to fill in blank spaces and bold shapes to catch the readers eye. For my contents page my reviews mainly said that the layout was good therefore the only problem was filling in empty spaces and adding more text to make it look like there was plenty going on. My double page spread didn't really have any problems and I am happy about how it turned out.
