- Using black or white text for the masthead may have a more professional look
- Masthead could be better defined - block text - possibly one layer/no 3D effect
- Masthead could be improved by using drop shadow/outer glow/bevel effects as opposed to a sold shadow look
- Colour scheme could be improved - shade of orange is perhaps isn't vibrant enough? - consider adjusting colours?
- Could just use red colour from title? This colour matches the image better
- Contents has a very cluttered and busy appearance - could be better layed out
- Typography used in title doesn't work - could match cover
- Contents should have better quality images of other people as well as the cover artist
- Do further research into existing products for ideas
Double Page Spread:
- Layout could be improved - cluttered
- Images are poor quality
- 'polaroid' style images look unrealisticly presented - amature
- Font doesn't work at all - too big - clumpy
- Font for quote looks odd
- colour scheme very dark - contrasts cover and contents to much
- Font within double page spread could be more exciting and interesting for title/artists name
- A more exciting looking typography could improve the feel of the page and the overall appearance as it is currently quite dark and not entirely conventional to the pop genre
- Quality of photographs could be improved, as well as editing
- Better editing would improve overall finish of magazine and give a more professional finish
- Fonts could be altered to create a clearer/cleaner finish
- Contents should have better quality images of other people as well as the cover artist
