1. I found out there’s a blank space on the top left corner, so I added two small live images in order to provide readers more details about the “REVISION SECTIONS”.!

2. I added two seriated shaped puffs on it to represent the development of country music. One is quite like a advertise:”THE UK’s BIGGEST COUNTRY MUSIC GUIDE”. If people see it, they might feel it’s a influential magazine and wonder the details inside; the other puff is as a promotion: if you buy my magazine, you can get free posters. Basically, this two puffs are both help me to attract my customers.!

3. The reason why I changed the flag which is on the top right corner into a skyline is because when I took this image, I left some spaces on the top, if nothing fill in the blanks, it will be quite strange, so I just used a skyline to keep the balance of the whole image.!

4. The “EXCLUSIVE SECTION” with small images on it is what I learnt from Kerrang. This section will make my magazine more comprehensive and become a reason for customers buy my magazine.!

5. I changed the font of the four feature singers of my magazine. The font I used before is quite simple; the name of the singers and the description underneath used the same one. So in order to make readers to separate the main details on my Cover Page, I changed my feature singers into a personality font and save the font style underneath. From then on I released it’s very important for my Cover Page to use different fonts to presented different parts and things. Now it can stand out the main things well.!6. I accepted the suggestions from Sally which is change my Cover Star to someone around me. So I used my best friend Sherry instead it. The music genre I was chose is country music, but from the font style you can’t really know it, so I change it into a very natural (the butterflies around the font can represent my music genre) and active font in order to appeal to my audience which is teenagers and young adults.!7. When I nearly finished, I found out I forgot wrote the price of my magazine. So I used Photoshop to create my own barcode with a price which is 1.50 pound for a monthly CMB.!8. Because I created a skyline on the top, so I changed my Masthead to a more distinct place; from the briefly evaluation in class, I accept the advice from my classmate which is make my Masthead bigger in order to attract my customers.
