Overall I am very happy with the final outcome of my magazine and I think it has good continuity and looks cohesive and the style and theme is clear throughout. I think it would stand out on the shelf against other magazines because of the bold contrast of the masthead against the cover and most fashion magazines are usually very bright and colourful so mine would look unique and original and would be a bold contrast against these. I have a large mixture of spreads because I have different proportions of text to image as well as an image based spread and have used a variety of layouts and different grid layouts with 2 column and 3 column e.t.c designs. I think my typography is effective because I have kept to the same basic style or headlines using decorative hand written style typefaces but they all have something different about them keeping each spread looking fresh and unique whilst keep continuity throughout. All of my images have a dark and edgy tone and mood which is the idea I had at the start and I have managed to stick to this so that my magazine keeps the same feel and mood throughout.




Interactive PDF Creation


I decided to create an interactive PDF to make my magazine more accessible and versatile so that it could be viewed online and on other devices such as iPads as a lot of magazines are becoming digital so I wanted to be able to access this market.

I created buttons that scrolled to the next and previous pages before applying this to the master slide and exporting the document as an interactive PDF.

I chose blue buttons and lowered the opacity as I hadn't used this colour in my designs so I knew it would show up on all of the pages and lowering the opacity meant that any text or images behind the buttons could still be seen.

Here is a preview of what my interactive PDF ended up looking like.
