Justification Of Planning Decision Changes

When I first designed my magazine, I decided to give my cover a grey background, and to have a strap line at the bottom of the page advertising the main features. I also chose to have three secondary articles on the cover. The fonts I used were called Distress and Plastique, which I believed would fit my audience and purpose. My house colours were red, white and black which symbolise an alternative genre. When taking my first images I realised the mise- en- scene did not fit the genre of my magazine as the costume and make up was not thought out. I then re- took the pictures considering these elements and the photos were much more adequate. On my contents page, originally I had 5 images, however two were blurry, and three were related to the same article. I realised that I needed to include more images, related to the other articles I had included in the magazine. I then changed my contents page to have less pictures to do with my primary article, and I made a box for features and a box for regulars. I also included a section at the bottom called ‘section from the editor’, which I thought would make my page more interesting. In my double page spread, I originally had 4 images, however they were rather big, and my text was to big also. I then made changes to my magazine by changing the background colour to orange on all three pages to give it more energy as a piece, I also added more text on the double page spread and changed the layout of the contents page. I also added more pictures to my front cover, a barcode and a web address. Once I had completed my pages, I decided I was unsure of the style. I went over the contents page and changed the fonts to give it a more futuristic style. I changed the background colour to grey and removed the strap line. I changed the master head to make it smaller and moved the barcode to the bottom right hand corner. On the contents page I angled the pictures and moved them around a bit. I changed the background colour to match the contents page and changed the fonts as well. On my double page spread I changed the background colour, font and angled the images. The only thing I need to change now is the background colour again to make the images stick out. I was thinking a light red to match with the house colours.
