Draft article



This is my draft  for my final stages of finishing my music magzine article.
It is obvious that I haven't finished it but its showing you how it is an unofficial outcome / end of my article. It aslo needs alot of improvements such as better font style, colour etc. The writing isn't going to be blue in the actual article, it was a rough draft.
The reason why the artcile doesn't look so proffessional as a proffessional music mgazine article is because I didn't have access to Adobe illustrator and photoshop outside of college hours so i used word document to just create a rough draft, but it will be improved when i have access to photoshop and illustrator.

Draft contents page



This is my draft  for my final stages of finishing my music magzine contents page.
It is obvious that it needs alot of improvements such as better font style, I need to include sections such as gigs and interveiws etc and i need to edit some of my images such as cropping and sharpening the image and perhaps editing the lighting of the images.
The reason why the contents page doesn't look so proffessional as a proffessional music mgazine contents page is because I didn't have access to Adobe illustrator and photoshop outside of college hours so i used word document to just create a rough draft, but it will be improved when i have access to photoshop and illustrator

Draft front cover


This is my draft  for my final stages of finishing my music magzine front cover.
It is obvious that it needs alot of improvements such as bringing the central image in front of my title block, edit my image a bit more, use proffesional styles of a bar code and price tag and better font style.
The reason why the front cover doesn't look so proffessional as a proffessional music mgazine front cover is because I didn't have access to Adobe illustrator and photoshop outside of college hours so i used word document to just create a rough draft, but it will be improved when i have access to photoshop and illustrator
