Research and planning: Production progress 15

When I asked for audience feedback, I was advised to change the numbers color from black to white so that it was "noticeable." I have also been playing around with positioning of the double page spread story. The little details but big details like how to wrap the text closely to the main image but keep a paragraph touch was what I was debating over. I've spent time thinking about positioning of questions and to create a repeated layout, where consistency is presented. I've also changed the tour name to "While we are young," so it creates association with the band name and could be seen as an album release name. I've added what I like to call a ripple effect along the page. This has been done with other double page spread stories to create an extra/ another intricate detail. These still adhere to the house styles color scheme. I have also changed the summary text to the color schemes blue to create consistency and so that I was still adhering to the pop genre's conventions. The color is alerting and pops out of the page so it creates another edge.
The posters looked too clumped up around the lower tier which created a less professional edge. I have taken away some of the images and aligned them. I have also added a contour to each poster. I've brought forward Liam's head and changed the mastheads color to fit the house style whilst making it vibrantly stand out. The corner exclusive covorline has only been made smaller because the bleed lines indicate a cut off point.


Here, I have begun to add additional posters but I haven't yet taken out the background. This will be my final step of publication.

Here, I have begun to re-position sections of my double page spread. I'm happy with where I have placed my main image because it's directly in the middle. My models heads also sit right under text without covering any up so the typography is still readable.

Research and planning production progress 13

I have all my double page story on my double page spread. I've added page numbers and a strip to em bevel them. At this point, I've tried to keep the main image to one side but it's not working so i'm going to move it to the middle of the page. The summary will be readable then.

I've added extra questions and have enlarged the main image. I've also made love heart embellishments with a pop conventional color purple. purple has connotations to royalty which creates value for the questions. The color is also alerting which makes the page stand out more.
