Eighth contents page draft

I tried adding a line to break up the two sides of the pages but it didn't look right and I think that it looks better without line.

Sixth DPS draft



I added a background to my image and tried it in a couple of different colours but I don't like it and I think that it looks better in black it fits well together when its all the same colour also alternative colours are black and dark colours so it fits my genre also my title and pull quote stand out more on the black background.

Peer feedback - DPS

This is the peer feedback for my double page spread.
One comment I don't agree with is that the rainbow doesn't fit with the colour scheme as I think that it should be their as it makes sense to the article as it is about being LGBT and the rainbow is their symbol also many people asked for colour which the two rainbows add to the article.
One comment I agree with is that moving the image caption down to page and closer to the person as it will look more professional and make more sense as people will know what it is for.
Another comment I don't agree with is to add colour to my pull quotes to make them stand out as I believe that the best colour to stand out on a black background is white and that is the colour of my pull quotes.

Time Management

4/1/17

My aim for this lesson is to complete my contents page improvements and to start the improvement on my DPS.

My result of this lesson is that I have finished my seventh contents page draft and my fifth DPS draft and uploaded both of them to my blog with annotations.

Seventh contents page

I added numbers to my sections that didn't have numbers.
I moved everything up so that it looked more full and interesting.
I changed the tours section slightly so that their is a space down the side of the page which is black as it looks better and more organized.

Fifth DPS cover


I changed my layout for my title and strap line as this looks more professional and looks more interesting.
I moved the rainbow to underneath the text to add some colour to the page and make it more interesting.
I make the running head just the title of my magazine and made it smaller.
I made my article text smaller as it was a little too big.
I made my sub image bigger as it looked better and filled up some more space.
I changed the font on the running head and bottom section of my DPS as this looks more professional.
