Content Mock Up Version 3 (using my own images)

From my research i had liked the content page which used an several images as the background and base of the spread.As you can see i then utilised the fact that the band was quiet high on the image this enabled me to get the most important aspect of the aim of the double page spread on and then gave me a lot of space bellow which i was able to use for text.The next steps where to :-
1.I added the page indicator at the top which is very stereotypical but very useful and is a quick indicator of the what the article or pages aim is.
2.I then added the text in different shaped boxes to not totally hinder the entire image and create a dive.But also to keep in with the indie theme and genre.
4.I then created a box like affect around coloured labels which are quotes which again fits with the indie theme this was also added by the large speech marks.

Feedback Summary from peers,teachers and my target audience for improvements :-

Disadvantages

1. The images aren't symmetrical and it doesn't fit with the text to the left.
2. There is a lot of inviolable open space so re arranging would need to take place.
3. The pages numbers are two large in comparison to other text eg. main body
4. The left side is to cultured and the right has a lot of free space.

Advantages

1. There is a clear definition between the text and images but only by a faint line but it is very effective.
2. The uniform style is very effective and concise and gets across to its audience what is needed and desired.
3. The geometric shapes are used to divide certain pictures to accompany the images.
4. The clever use of colours again brightens up the some what dull background otherwise.

Overall i used all the advise above and implemented changes from stage 1-3 to improve the content page.The reason why feedback is so important is because it tells me what my target audience desires and wants from my product and helps or prompts me to further develop my ideas.
