CORRECTIONS FROM DRAFTS

Front Cover: First Production compared to Draft
Front Cover – First Production Changes from Draft and Mock-up
• Tagline included in masthead – looked more effective and is more conventional.
• Coverline with competition taken out – didn’t really fit anywhere.
• No box used around splash – I found that I could make I stand out on its own by adding a drop shadow and outer glow
• Coverline on the right is wrapped around image – the image is larger than I thought it was going to be as otherwise there would have been too much empty space.
• ‘featuring’ in the top coverline is Lucida Handwriting rather than Monotype Corsiva – looked more effective.
• Text for top coverline (2015’s newcomers) is Franklin Gothic Medium Cond rather than Arial Narrow as this font was not available on photoshop, but they are very similar.
• Calibri used for coverline on the right rather than Arial Unicode MS which was not available on photoshop.
• Pristina used for ‘The Claoks 2015’ rather than Brush Script MS – looked more effective and the edgy font fits in with the Indie genre.
• Font of ‘How 3 Liverpudlians…’ changed from Dotum as it did not stand out enough. It is also in white rather than yellow to show a slight separation from the splash ‘The Cloaks 2015’.

Contents Page: First Production Changes from Draft and Mock-up
• Last two stories removed from contents on the right – not enough room for them.
• ‘$am Winston on Twitter’ added in sideways next to social media pictures to show what the pictures represent.
• Medium long shot used of Tom rather than a long shot to avoid too much white space.
• Font of ‘Louis Del Grido…’ caption changed from California FB to Microsoft PhagsPa which looked more effective.
• Photo captions of Josh ($am Winston) in the boxes at the bottom have been changed to suit the pictures, and made shorter so that not too much text was crammed into a small space.
Double Page Spread: Mock-up and Draft
Double Page Spread: First Production compared to Draft
Double Page Spread: First Production changes from Draft and Mock-up
• Aligned ‘The Cloaks’ to the right which is more conventional of a double page spread.
• Taken out page numbers from sides of pages because it is more conventional to have the image covering the whole spread – it looked messy to have a white strip with a page number.
• Rockwell Extra Bold used for title rather than Microsoft Himalaya which was not available on InDesign.
• Times New Roman used rather than Caslon for body text – fit better and was more easy reading.
• Rockwell Extra Bold used for pull quote rather than Monotype Corsiva – matches with title which is more conventional.
