Evolution of my School Magazine

Draft A - Cover Page

This was the most basic version of my School Magazine. It was so early on that it didn't feature a contents page and did have much detail. after a short discussion with my teacher, i found that the layout could be altered to make it visually more appealing and engaging. I liked the colour scheme and i think the photos overall fit the house style very well. I also had to re-adjust the use of space and make sure i made the most of it. 

Draft B - Cover Page

This was a completely new layout but featured some of the original text and boxes. It is overally more engaging and makes better use of space than draft A. I used more boxes in different way to a build a basic layout for it all before i added the text and images back in. Although it was not complete it only needed slight alignment changes and a couple of extra boxes added in to complete it. 

Draft B - Contents Page

The contents page was pretty easy to construct after i had discovered the overall house style. It would feature a compilation of various sizes boxes to layout how and where text should go. The colours are the same as previously seen on all other drafts. At first i thought the colour scheme wouldn't work very well and would overall be to loud but, it seemed to suit the age range i was targeting and in fact made it feel more contemporary and stylish.  

Draft C - Cover Page

This was almost complete now and only featured a few basic changes to the overall layout and alignment of text and images within the boxes. I had to remove some of the text and others in as peers and teachers didn't think that some of it added anything to the magazine. But overall this was basically finished. 

Draft C - Contents Page

This similarly to the Title page only had minor changes to layout, alignment and text. In the left column i had to make headings for the text so that they were clear and stood out from the short descriptions. I had too also move the numbers on the pictures so that they weren't so cluttered. Finally i had to adjust the font of the text on "contents" so that it matched the Cover page.
