Drafting and Planning: Differences Between First and Final Draft






(Left: First Draft, Right: Final Draft) after receiving feedback on my first draft, I made some draftic improvements to my cover and conents page. One of the improvements to my cover was changing my secondary cover lines, in my first draft my secondary cover lines stuck out like a sore thumb, they didn’t fit my magazine’s style, this made it look unprofesional. Another big change was my main cover line, after completeing my new secondary cover lines, my main cover line didn’t stand out and shout at the reader to grab their attention., to beat this, I changed the fonts and colours of the font’s background. A third big change was my skyline, in my first draft, my skyline was minimal and boring, in my fonal draft, I made the background match my masthead, and included two layers of text, one white and one black.

On my contents page, I updated my mini-cover (located above my table of contents) to be the same as my updated cover. Also on my table of contents, I changed the colour of the numbers on the right hand side of the table. I also filled the blank space below my image. To fill space, I made a second DPS just as a filler, I also filled the space with album covers that I made (each of which are mentioned in the “Album Reviews” tab).



(Left: First Draft, Right: Final Draft)  not much changed on my PS between my fist and final draft. I replaced the call out “Pre-Order…” with my pull quote as it looked unprofesional. I also received the feedback that there wasn’t enough content on my DPS, so I increased the length of my article.
