Changes To Original Plans

It is worth noting that I made the decision to change the main band name from 'The Rebels' to 'Uprising', as I found this both made me cringe less and portrayed the rising nature of the band as well as their rebellious ways.

Furthermore, the difference between my original flat plans and finished pieces of work is startling, with my ideas change and adapting hugely over the drafting process. The most notable changes are as follows:

Cover -
Changing the key image to a solo model to represent a three man band, meaning the page wasn't too busy.
I kept the idea of the sticker but changed the text and positioning so that it was less lost on the page.
I added more cover lines for less 'white space' to maintain a reader's interest.
I streamlined the menu strip for a more clear cut look.

Contents Pages -
This was the piece with the most change and the one that consequently took the most time, with my final piece being extremely different. However, I kept much of the content the same with the 'What's hot' circular section and the idea of the main band 'The Rebels' (to become Uprising) spreading over the two pages. I also kept some stylistic ideas the same, such as the page numbers in the corners and the 'resonate' at the top of each piece to add brand identity.

Feature Article -
I kept the sidebar down the far right hand side the same, as I liked the extra dimension the technique brought to the page.
I moved the key image to below its original position and inserted the film strip across the page.
I therefore moved the pull quote to the top of the page to maintain balance and make the page even.

I also changed many of the fonts, such as the body text as this simply was not clear enough on a small scale, and I also changed the masthead font as when this was on the actual page I much preferred my final choice.
