Edits I intend to make before the final copy.

1) The Cover Image
The picture that I have used on the front cover is in no way reflective of the conception I have for he final draft. The prop, the costume, the setting and the lighting are all to be revised to build towards the final idea I had for the magazine in order to establish the quirky sensibility I require to achieve the image I envisioned for my final magazine copy. This is my top priority in regards to the final magazine.

2) The Contents Page
I like the concept that I had in regards to the contents page but I still feel that I did not convey what I really wanted from the contents page in my draft. This is partly do to restrictions in the software I used (e.g the fact that you cannot rotate a picture on Paint.net) and also partly to do with the fact that the pictures themselves were not up to the standard that I required for my final design.

3) The Colour Scheme
The colour scheme of the article is a very ambiguous colour scheme, and as a result there is no identity that would be associated with it (e.g the way that KERRANG uses black and white which are easilt identifyable with the genre of rock). For this reason I intend to discuss the idea of the colour scheme and what direction I should take with both my peers and my teacher and also research into similar products like NME, in order to reach a colour scheme which I feel is reflective of a magazine based on new acts.

4) The Article Picture
The article picture is not something that I put alot of thought into. The concept isn't anything I'd try and replicate for the final copy and so now that I have created a new picture idea, I will completely scrap the concept shown in that picture and stick with the new one. Also I am thinking about having the title of the article and short puff of writing accompanying it over the picture itself and having the quote somewhere on the writing page, changing the article.
