Production process: Double-page spread

This was my double page spread when I first started. As you can see, I've
added the image I edited. 

As you can see, I've added a strap line and a pull quote. I did this in the

because a regional magazine is supposed to be unconventional, so I added

both of these in the middle to follow that theme. However, I did get

inspiration from a professional magazine, but it's quite rare to see this type

of layout in a magazine and I really liked the idea. 

I then added text to my double-page spread, and as you can see it's
starting to form and appear like an actual double-page spread. 

This is the final product. I added a few little features to make the magazine
more professional. I added a banner across the top with 'Kate Ashcroft'
and a page number. I really like my finalized double-page spread as I've
encorporated colours that appeal to my audience type. 

Front Cover: Production process

The first step I added a few pieces of text and the
masthead.

I then added some cover lines around the cover exactly
like the one pictured here. 

This is my finished first draft of my front cover. 

From looking and reviewing my front cover, I can see some changes that I need to make to improve my product. Below are the changed I will be making to my front cover to get a better outcome.

1. I will be changing the colours of my magazine to fit in with my contents page as the colours on my contents page are burgundy and pink. If I change the colours on my front cover it will make it look more professional as it will follow a house-style and avoid looking unprofessional. 

2. I will be changing the background of my front cover. The background now looks a little unprofessional which is not what I'm going for. I want it to appear professionally done rather than appear like a 18 year old students done it. I will change the colour of the background to white so that it looks like the image was taken in front of a professional white backdrop. This will hopefully improve my overall front cover. 

3. I will be changing some of the cover line's fonts and articles because when I change the colours and background I will obviously need to alter them also so they fit in with my house-style.
