Draft Feedback

Peer and Audience Feedback



Cover:
  • 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:
  • 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
General:
  • 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
