I have made a few vital changes to my final design of my front page to help it become more eye-catching and appealing to my target audience, the upper class. I have created a banner that highlights the title; this was seen as an important improvement as it is now bolder and makes it stand out. As well as that the banner sets a recurring theme throughout the rest of the text, as you will see that both the double page spread and the contents page posses these qualities in a similar style (a maroon border, which fades of towards the end, whilst highlighting the topic or title of the page). Another addition I have added is the issue date of this magazine. This results in the magazine appearing more personable and up to date. It also follows the trend of the rest of the magazine market (normally I wish to be original with the design of my music magazine, but this proves to be a vital piece of information that is required). The images have also been improved; the images on the front page have to be eye-catching as this is often the first thing that draws the audience in. The photo on the left hand side has been edited to make the main focus of it the musical instrument (the piano), this ensures that the theme of the magazine is known right from the beginning (that the magazine has a classical music theme). The image on the right has also been edited to give it a more professional finish. The changes made give the front page more of a consistent style, as before the changes the image had a brutal finish, now it flows into the banner of the title; this improves the whole overall appearance. With these changes that have been made to the front page, it can now be seen as a more sophisticated magazine, as the manner in which it has been edited has been done with precision and thought of the social class in which the magazine is intended for throughout the making of it.
