Revisions to my product

After being given the chance to chance a few things on my product i felt like the most i needed to do was on my first article 'Sea, Sun and a flat tum' this is due to the fact i spent a lot of time on my 2nd and 3rd and therefore didn't have any time at the end to come back to it. I firstly decreased the opacity of the white boxes i inserted behind the kicker and one of the paragraphs as it didn't look like it was part of the article. I also felt that these stood out more than header which is definitely not something you want from your article. I then noticed that where my models hand was situated, the text wasn't very clear and therefore i added another of these opaque boxes behind the introductory paragraph. The drop shadow behind my sub headers, i also felt was far too harsh so therefore i also decreased the opacity and distance of that. The softness i had created on the majority of my article had made the guidelines look very heave and therefore i decreased the width of these so that they would look much subtler. The final thing i did was change the header of my breakout box as i felt the font was too harsh and therefore i didn't work very well. I changed it to a hand written font which made it look much more professional. I also changes the colour to give my page more variety.

In my 2nd DPS 'Stress Mess', i increased the size of the introductory paragraph as i felt i didn't give the article enough context before you began to read it properly. I also re arranged my paragraphs to make them lay better on the page so therefore it would be more appealing to the eye. I also added a guide line across the top and across the bottom as this made the page look much tidier which will really appeal to my target audience. The page before just looked unfinished and 'rough' around the edges.

The only other alteration i made was adding more contents to my contents page and adding the page numbers to them as i didn't get chance to finish this within my allocated time. I also decreased the size of  the tags on each image as when i looked back through the magazines they were in a fairly small font whereas mine were fairly big.
