1. MUSIC MAGAZINE EVALUATION BY: Monique Jones

3. Second draft of the elements belonging to my magazine After completing my second draft of my magazine I thought it would have been my last but it wasn’t. By looking at my second draft one would realise that is it does have similar forms and conventions to other R&B magazines. However even if that is so all the elements belonging to my magazine doesn't connect with each other to show that they all belong to the same magazine. One of the critic I got from my teacher is that the cover looks very masculine and grimy, while the rest of my magazine looked very feminine and calming. Also the colours used in the magazine was not connecting, in that the front cover is red, black and white while the double page spread is purple, with a splash of blue and sparkles. Thus it was concluded that all the elements portrayed something different while, they all should be portraying the same or similar things in order to fully connect with the audience.

4. Final draft for my magazine From the second draft of my magazine there has been many major changes. I changed the color scheme on all the elements of my magazine and I made sure that the color connected throughout the whole magazine. Each element has a touch of purple, red, white, yellow and black to show that they all belong to the same magazine and not each one stand by themselves as in my second draft. I also changed the model on my front cover to a woman because in my second draft the front cover stood alone because it was to masculine and grimy while the contents page and double page spread looked very famine and calming. The magazine now portrays a collective idea . The magazine is still a R&B magazine but with a twist in that this edition is to honor the women in the music business and their journey to stardom. It still targets the same audience 16 -25 male/females nothing changes .

6. Bar code showing issue number and price The use of Sub-headings to advertise features in the magazine The focus is solely on the model being shown on the cover, who is the biggest feature on the cover. Introduces the model on the front cover and tells something about them
