Magazine First drafts and Updated pieces

On the left hand side of each set of images, are my first drafts of my music magazine and on the right are my updated pieces. 

So far I have edited the Text fonts and colours on the front cover, contents page and double page spread. 

I have also changed the layout on my front cover and correlated the information with the contents page. On my double page spread, I found that by making the background darker, makes the dead space seem less frequent and and the text stands out more on the page. 

I also edited the gradient of the background on the double page spread, to make the effect of a light shining down from the top right hand corner of the page. This also makes the text easier to read.

Although I still need to add photos for all three documents, as I have completed all textually based tasks to do with each section of my magazine.
