Experimenting With Title Fonts

Before creating my music magazine I had to come up with a name for my magazine. I finaly chose the name "The Beat" from a selection of names including "Rhythm", "Base" and "The Sound". I then had to decide on a style for my title and after hours of experimenting I combined two text styles and created a title to my taste.

Drafts: Magazine Contents Page

Here is my first draft for my music magazine contents page on the left and my final contents page on the right. As you can see, there is a huge difference in terms of style, organization and quality. My first draft appears extremely bland and dull, there is not much going on and it doesn't work well to catch the readers attention. I decided to split the contents information into sections, for example 'regulars' and 'interviews' as this was more structured and appeared more tidy. I added more images and improved on the title, making it look bold and attractive so it governs the page.

Draft: Magazine Cover

On the left is my first draft of my music magazine cover and as you can see, the cover on the right is my final draft. When comparing these two covers together, you can recognize the difference in the qualtiy and the presentation. It's weird how the change of colour to the background makes such an impact on the quality of the cover and also where text and images have been placed. I personally do not like my first draft, the main image doesnt stand out aswell as it does on my final cover, some of the text is hard to read andoverall is appears as though is unfinished.
