Evaluation of my magazine

As media studies evaluation from taliagaye

Final magazine

Here is my final magazine that I have constructed. 

Research into magazine distributors and similar products

http://www.ipcmedia.com/

During my analasis of IPC Media, one of the biggest leading publishers of magazine in the UK, I found out the various music magazines that they publish. NME (various music) and Uncut (Rock Music) are the main music magazines they publish.

I also analized Bauer Media and what music magazines they publish. Kerrang (Rock music magazine) and Mojo are included as some of the music magazines that they advertise. Bauer Media are also involved in radio stations, websites and TV in the music industry.

Drafting and planning of my magazines layout, original photography and article. Organisation of my magazine

I have finished my first draft of my double page spread now. I have now added my interview and will use the feedback from this first draft to make sure I can improve it

Drafting/planning/organisation of my magazine layout, photography and article

Here I have made changes to the front page and contents page.
On the front page I have changed the cover line on the left hand side from 'LIZZY GRIF V FEST 2014 RUMOURS' to 'LIZZY GRIF V FEST 2014 LINE UP'. 
I have also made the picture of my main artist bigger so that it fills the front cover of my magazine more.

On the contents page I have changed the numbers of the pages. 
Instead of the pages only going up to 12, they now go up to 44.

I will now continue to make changes to my double page spread to ensure I make my magazine the best it can be using my feedback on the first draft. 

Organisation of my magazine (First magazine draft target audience feedback)

From my feedback I have discovered that ....
- Make the page numbers on my contents page more realistic to a magazine as I have only got the numbers going up to 12.
- The picture of my main artist used on my front cover is too small. I need to make it bigger so that the magazine looks better.
- I have no page numbers on my double page spread. I need to include these so that it looks like an actual magazine double page spread.
- Construct an interview for my double page spread and lay these out into two columns of text without using a coloured background, just the back ground already on the page.
