Adding image to contents page & layout

During this lesson I have added this image. I think there is more connection between the reader and the magazine. I think the layout of the magazine now works better as it doesn't look too busy. I think there is still something missing off this contents page so I will now try adding quotes and seeing if I can improve my contents page further.

Editing pictures from my contents page


By editing this image using photoshop I decided to feather around Jasmines(image) hair I think this then gives the image a more lighter effect and will fit into my theme elegant. Also, in the image Jasmine is wearing a tiara, which is representing, 'POP Princess'. I think this image will work well on my contents page as there is direct eye contact, which will draw the reader in. The image will be placed on the right side of the page, doing this will then leave room for the writing and hopefully will not look too busy.

Contents Page Edited


I thought my contents page was to simple so I decided to change the background colour so it fitted in with my colour scheme better. by doing this I found my writing stands out more and the page is more striking. I have also decided to change the image on my contents page I thought using the picture as the background didn't work as well as I thought as the information needed on this page wasn't shown very well. By getting feedback on my contents page, I was recommended to use an image with direct eye contact so the reader is then connecting to the magazine. I will now go on to developing my contents page with a different image. 

Double Page Spread Edited


I decided to edited my double page spread further, I made the image bigger so the page will stand out more, by doing this Jasmines eyes (image) make better eye contact with the reader and this then should make the audience be drawn into the page. Also, I have added a quote on the page, I thought there was room for more information on the page so decided to use a quote out of the question section, this then gives the reader more information of what the story is going to be about, Also by using big speachmarks I thought it made the page more bolder and interesting. I decided to remove I question which was on the story I thought the page looked a little to busy. I think this now works better for the double page spread as a whole.
