COVER
For my cover I have received a lot of positive feedback,
which I will take into account when designing my final piece. Firstly I have
been praised a lot for my successful use of colour palette. The blue/back/white
‘draw attention’ immediately and the boldness of the masthead has the same
effect as well which is something I should definitely take into account when
designing my final piece. On the other hand there are aspects that I can
improve on my cover. For example I should ‘consider moving the text body’ and
also make the image fit better so it is a higher resolution. Doing this would
insure the magazine has a more professional, sharp look which is important.
CONTENTS
My contents page was what I was most happy with in my draft;
I put the most detail into the layout in this page to make a conventional
complete look. I received a lot of positive feedback about the ‘style and
layout’ of the page, looking ‘very professional’ and a lot of text. However I
was advised to use a web address to make the magazine appear more authentic,
this is good feedback because a lot of magazine use this feature to attract a
bigger online following as well. Along with this I was advised to change
information in the text, some of it was false information, which isn’t useful.
DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD
I feel there is room for a lot of improvement on my double
page spread so I was intrigued to see the improvements I was suggested along
with the positives. A positive of the pages where that the image looks good
with the blue/white/black colour palette again and it ‘creates continuity’
along with this the bold lines I have used under the title ‘The Everything’ is
good because it grabs the readers attention well. Some negatives in my double
page spread where that the article and text was crammed in because of the
sizing of my picture, this has made me think that I need to use a portrait
image so it fits better and allows more room for text to look professional. Along
with this I have left a lot of free space on the magazine that could be filled
with useful information, however I want to keep the page looking minimalistic.
Overall I am happy with my feedback I have received for both positives and improvements which is important for me to take into account.
