Final Double Spread Page

The double spread pages came out very nice as well. I also did not make any changes to the pages because I liked how they already looked. I'm glad I added the star background for it made the pages less plain. It also connects with the front cover page which I believe connects the feature page with the front cover.

Final Table of Contents Page

I like how the Table of Contents page also came out. It looks simple and not overloaded with information. I did not make any changes, not even add the star background because I felt as though seeing the pattern repeatedly would make it boring. Even though I did not alter the models in the photo, I did place a filter. This was cause of the images had different lighting and this change made the page look more natural.

Overall the page came out better than expected.

Final Cover Page

This is the final outcome of my magazine cover page. I did not make any major changes other than adding a barcode on the bottom left corner as well as adding the stars to the background. Since adding stars to the background in the double spread, it looked like it was missing in the front cover. The addition of the barcode simply made the magazine look more official. 

Overall, I am satisfied with how it came out. There was balance between the colors, it didn't look overwhelming, font is easy to read and it feels like it would attract the eyes of a potential audience.

What I like most is how the picture of the model fits with the background in a way that it does not look so awkward.

Color Scheme of Magazine

In designing the magazine, I preferred to keep the colors consistent. However, while it may seem plain or boring, I find that it is more organized and simple. It has a minimalist style. It also keeps from jumping out with an overwhelming of colors or information. White is also included on the color scheme however, placing it in the post would have it disappear.

Double Spread Page - Layout (Part 2)

This is the second page of the double spread. This page only consists of graphics and text, I made the decision not not add more images of the person being featured because I felt that it would take away from the story being told.
I started with a page that has the light blue color as the background.

I then made two separate columns like the first page. At this point I also implemented the feature story into the pages. I also placed a page number at the bottom right corner. The font style is the same as the first page but the font color I decided to use black and not navy blue because I felt the navy color would be to hard to read since the background color is also blue. After finishing the text, the page once again looked plain so I added stars. I made the star color white and made the transparency also to 51.

This is the outcome of the second page of the spread. Even though it doesn't have any images, I like that there are no distractions from the story. The stars add a little more vibrancy to the page and doesn't let it look so plain.
