My Overall Thoughts of the Magazine

Once the magazine was done I could say that I was happy with the way that it turned out because when I started on it, there were a few things that I did wrong, something’s I didn't like and so on, and in fact I restarted the whole magazine twice due to me not liking the way it turned out the first time then the second time, but with the experience gaining from both times, the third time ended up being better. One thing that I was happy is how I didn't give up on the task as I wanted to make the magazine be at the best of my ability.

The title or name of the magazine being “BOUNCE” I thought blended well with the genre of the magazine which being Hip Hop/ R n B and this was one of the influences of why I decided on naming it as it is. The next thing were the photos, having on image at the front cover instead of the few that I had originally had in my plan so making that change I think was the right thing otherwise I would have had a much complicated magazine, one thing that I wanted to keep in mind is the quality and simplicity.

With this I also had to think about some of the writings I wanted to include at the front of the magazine, with this being the fonts, their sizes and even their colours to which now I am amazed with the way they worked well with each other. Other factors such as the selling line, barcodes I am also pleased with how it turned out.

As for the contents page, one thing I would have preferred is if the features were all in one line but with the way it is works too. The background colour I’m happy with as I was trying to make sure that I keep the balance as due to the target audiences and with this It influenced me in deciding on the images that are on it which I find as the best feature of the contents pages. Not forgetting the double page spread, this was one of the pages that I found difficult due to the fact that there was a lot to write on the page other than the editing, and with there were some things that I had to be careful with such as the language in which the audience needed to understand also referring to it being a Hip Hop/ R n B magazine.

Overall I am really pleased with the way that my magazine has turned out in the end, if i had said to myself that it would turn out this way when I first started, i would have probably laughed.
