DPS Page

 I didn't change my DPS page as I thought it looked quite good, and didn't need anything to be changed.

Contents Page

I also changed my contents page. I added in another 2 photos, as I only initially had 3 altogether, which was not enough to get a proper grade, so I also added in a colour photo as none of my pictures had any colour. 

New Cover Page

I have changed a few things in my cover page for improvement, such as only using about 2/3 fonts instead of loads so it looks more professional, and also changing where it says 'taking over grime' as I had it adjoined with the letter 'g' in 'young', as my teacher said it looked better without it that way, and also made it look more neat.

Magazine Progress/Draft

In the process of making the magazine, I had problems with the photos I took (coming distorted when enlarging etc) so I had to take new pictures at the very last minute, leaving a small amount of time to do my drafts. Here is what i got so far:

Double Page Spread

Double Page Spread Content

I started writing up the content that was going in my double page spread. Instead of doing a double page spread I decided to do the story towards my artist's fame. Here's what I have so far :

The upcoming rapper is still turning heads, smashing out new songs nearly every week, topping charts and grabbing attention from even the biggest rappers like Eminem. ‘Young J’, or more known as ‘James’ is a 24 year old rapper from South East London who just loves to rap. When he came out with his first song ‘Its Young J’, the internet blew up with this viral hit that instantly got recognition from millions.

Young J had been into rap since he was 9, when Eminem had dropped ‘The Slim Shady LP’ in 1999, where he just felt this connection between him and rap. For his 12^th birthday, his mum got him a karaoke set, that he used nearly every day, rapping into the microphone, making new beats and raps on the spot.

Making a group with his friends at 14 to create his own music, his friends saw potential in him, and entered him into a rap battle contest, with a prize of £1000. He later won the contest, and spent his money on studio equipment for his bedroom where he can properly produce music. 

Magazine Name

Since creating my ideas for my magazine, due to feedback from teachers and classmates, I have decided to change my magazine name to 'Grime Stars Magazine'. I chose this name because I want it to directly link to the genre - grime, and put 'Stars' because the magazine will focus on the 'stars' of grime at that moment in time.
