Final edits and version of the Magazine

After receiving some feedback from the people around me, I decided to improve my magazine so my audience would be more satisfied with the final results. These are the changes that I made in some of the pages:

COVER:

At this point my target was to make the image more aired and not so overloaded. I removed a part of the heavy text from the supporting cover lines and let only the essential information, while also moving the lead article line to the right side for a more organised look and a better view to the main image. I also increased the highlights of the picture for a better photo quality and changed the font of the title to be more visible and easy to read. After making this changes I can state that the cover looks a bit more professional.

CONTENT PAGE:

As asked from the people who gave the feedback, I also modified the Content page, more specifically the way of presenting the titles of the articles. This meant I only had to use the Bold function, but that was enough to made a significant difference. I have to admit I like it much more this way as it creates more impact and makes a clear difference of where the title ends and the description of the article begins.

BACK COVER:

Nevertheless, I made a small modification to the Back Cover as well. I added a soft , fine line over the navy blue rectangle, positioned behind the logo. I think that this element lightly adds some diversity to a simple back cover. As I didn't add any image or extravagant animations, I thought this would be a more elegant way to add another detail to the page.

EXTRA INTRODUCTION PAGE:

I added this introduction page for a more organized magazine when placed on the mockup site. Every time I tried to assemble the pieces together, the back cover was shown as a content page instead of being at the end of the magazine. So, instead of adding a blank page right after the main cover, I decided to make something similar to an Introduction Page, which represents what the main subjects of this months issue are.

This decision gave the product more balance and an even number of pages so it would really look like a real magazine when displayed on the sketch.

I think that more or less I've accomplished my mission of respecting the feedback section and improving my magazine in a way that the audience would be more satisfied. As for the layout of the article, I decided to keep it the same; as mostly everyone, including me, thought that it had a great finish and that more elements or bolder texts would just make it very difficult to read and enjoy.

For my changes I used the original drafts on Canva and did the rest of the work there, going after on the Hayzine site, where I could add my work to a proper mockup. I like this site, as it is very easy to create your work when the pages are already done, but also because of the added sound when turning the pages and the possibility of actually accessing the links from the back cover with just one click. Here is a screen recording I did on the site, and below it is the link where the final magazine can be accessed.
