After completing a first draft of my front cover, contents page and double page spread, I was able to get some feedback from my teacher and other students - here are a selection of their comments:
Teacher:
Front cover - Really well made. Strong Photo, good font diversity.
Possibly too dark? The logo could be stroinger.
Contents Page - Well presented. Clear articles and descriptions. Good photography.
More diversity in photos (Long shots/ Close-ups?) Stronger logo again.
DPS - Really good! Great photo, good positioning of the eext and range in fonts.
Photos posisbly a bit blurry? Maybe break up the text a bit.
Other students - What did they like?
Front cover - Good colour scheme, matches her clothes. Good makeup/ costume on model. Good layout, variety of font styles. Uses conventions well. Clear house style.
Contents Page - Good main image. Good layout of text. Inkeeping with colour scheme. Good range of images. Clear house style. Well sectioned and easy to understand.
DPS - Lovey choice of colours, all inkeeping - even her nails and bracelet! Text fits around the image. Very strong layout. Good writing style. Bright, very girly.
What could have been improved?
Front cover - Date, issue and price should be the same size. Writing in box at the top should have more space at the sides.
Contents Page - Retake two smaller images - Don't fit in as well and look as professional. Add a page number at the bottom.
DPS - Image slightly out of focus? Make quote stand out a bit more. Possibly have standfirst in a different colour/ size to differentiate it from article. Make headline stand out more?
