Changes made on the DPS and contents page

Due to the comment I received, I needed to take advantage of the space within the Double Page Spread. So I have chosen to delete the previous photo and input these 2 other ones. On the other hand I had to delete the main image on my contents page as it's the same one. I am now choosing a different image to put on the contents page.

Here you can see that I have changed the image on my contents page. I chose this image as I thought that it shows Miss A's talent.

After a few hours of looking at it and not being satisfied, I felt that the use of a bright yellow for the editors notes and the subscription box was unattractive. This is where I then decided to use a red box instead which I felt better about it. By doing so, I had to change the text colour from black to white which was very refreshing to the eyes. This means that my readers will be able to read this with no trouble which I hope they will appreciate.

Here you can see I haven't fully finished my DPS because I haven't added the page number, strap-line and photography credit.

Understanding more about being a Kpop Star

1. Look out for videos and reports from music companies scouting new trainees such as this:

2.  Audition by sending a video or going to the scouting centres (Dancing, singing or specializing in an instrument)

Here are some auditions of KPop stars:

Taemin from SHINee (SM Entertainment)

Park Bom from 2NE1 (YG Entertainment)

Min - an new trainee (JYP)

3.  If you get picked, you go through further processes and become what they call a ‘trainee’ this means you move to Korea and go to college there. The recording companies such as YG Entertainment, SM Entertainment or JYP pay for all your needs like food, housing (dorms) and extra classes such as acrobatics.

4.  It takes a few years of training before you debut if you do not debut you pay the company back everything they spent on you.

Here is a video about life being a JYP trainee:

K-Pop Hits America

Here is a video about K-pop dominating the music industry in America. This shows how K-pop is starting to become more popular overseas. It wouldn't be surprised that by late 2013 we start to hear some K-pop songs on our local radio.

Process of my Contents and Adverts Page

 Here I added my Single on the left hand side of the magazine page following my Flat Plan. I added the image in the middle of the page so it will be first thing my readers will see. They will also get attracted to the bright yellow box at the bottom which contrast against the white text. I haven't finished the sales banner yet which is why I have left a large gap at the top of the yellow box. 
I have also added the three main colors of the magazine on the top left corner to make my page uniformed to the color scheme following from the front page. 

Here in this print screen you can see the build up of my contents page and some additional to the adverts page. I put a "Out now" text against a red triangle as red is an instructing color which will automatically make the readers want to buy the single. On the right side of the contents page I have followed my plans of the contents page. each page number goes by most of the pages in the flat plan to show that I have followed the plan. I have broken down the categorize into 3 sections; Features where the main articles are, Contests - contests or chances to win things and Extras where I have planned to put the other contents of the magazine relating to Kpop.

Here you can clearly see the progress I have made, I  have added another picture (Mix) which is of the contest winner. This will show a variety of images which will show that this magazine doesn't just focus on the cover star. I have also added the rest of article page numbers and titles underneath the Extras category.  

This is the latest edit I have made on my contents page. I have added the page numbers of the articles next to the two photos which I thought might help the readers. I have also moved the title banner higher to make room for the editors note as well as the subscription. In addition I have added one of the contest from the Front cover to the contents page which works well as it will entice the readers. I have placed the text of this behind a pink circle with a drop shadow to make it look three dimension this will make it look like its jumping out from the page.
