DPS and Contents Page

DPS

• Made the margin smaller between the columns; this makes it look more professional
• Put the introduction of the article in the same text box as the first column of the Q&A, which makes it easier to manipulate the article as a whole
• Made the masthead smaller so that it does not look too big and distract the reader
• Moved the date from the top of the masthead to the bottom as before it looked as though it was floating in space
• Changed the size of the gaps between the answer of a question and the next question; this makes it more professional and highlights the different questions as they look like they are in different paragraphs more than they did before
• Changed the font of the by-line to the main text font, as this makes the headline stand out more, and makes it unique

Contents Page

• Made the masthead the same size as it is on the DPS to show continuity and so as not to distract the reader
• Moved the date of the issue to the bottom of the masthead to match the DPS
• Changed the layout to suit the new layout that I have planned for the contents page (see below)
• Changed the colour scheme to match the new one on the front cover and the DPS
• Changed the font to match the new font on the front cover and the DPS
• Changed the Editor's Letter so it fits more easily within the space
• Added room for a photo of the editor to make the magazine more like Christian Musician, which had a photo of the editor (this will also broaden the range of models used in my magazine)

The main problem with my Contents Page was its layout, therefore I have drafted a new layout on Microsoft PowerPoint that is similar to that of Q, which should make my Contents Page more appropriate for my target age.
