The target audience for Game Informer magazine is the same for my magazine because the content and genre is similar.

During class one day Mr. Elsbree made a very good point being that if people were to have solid color backgrounds they would be wasting a lot of money on ink. since it is everyone's goal to be cost efficient I changed my backgrounds to a fade. Even thought my magazine will be distributed digitally for the most part. The interior looks a lot better now and if we were ever to print physical copy we would be hurt too much. I also made sure to add page numbers on these pages and made sure that it correlated with my table of contents. Also adding a line underneath the titles to make the over all look much cleaner.

After I turned in magazine before winter break I found a lot of minor details that could be fixed in my table of contents. Some of those being that I did not have numbers on the bottom of my page along with the fact that a lot of my images in the boxes where not aligned properly. So I went back in and the changes that were made were making sure that all the images are in their boxes and I added a black border so that it would look cleaner. As you can see I added the page number in the bottom right along with the website where the magazine can be read. I also made sure that all the images were imported properly so that they have a higher resolution.

When I went over the cover page I felt as though the bottom right of the screen just popped out too much. Along with the fact that I believed that the actual picture on the cover on the magazine was not a very good. So I then went back into publisher and changed the bottom right to a darker shade so that it was a little less out there but still visible. As for the actual image, I went back into the game and tried to see if I could increase the resolution at all but no matter what I did it did not get any better. So I just edited it a little so that I can look the best I could get it with my knowledge.
