I asked two of my classmates and miss to comment on my current work, which is this -
Here is my feedback -
Maraam – Front cover // make cover lines more bold and
noticeable as they won’t be seen from a distance. Contents // Edit font to
bigger size and finish – DPs // Just finish off and make sure columns are in
line
Aadam – Front cover // very good organisation, photography
is good however font is hard to read or isn't eye catching enough. // Contents
page is unique which makes it different from competitors, you may want to
decrease the size of the exclusive feature box. // DPs the layout is really good,
but again the font you have used is quite dismissive, e.g “large blocks of
text”
Teacher Feedback –
Front cover // the genre is very clear in terms of the
picture, styling, colour scheme and choice of font. I wonder if you need a banner behind the masthead
to make it stand out more. Also there is
too much text in the cover lines and they are not always easy to read. You
should make each cover line a separate layer for the main cover line, so you
can experiment with layout and move each part around.
Contents // make it clear that the main story is the cover
story- give it a header. Remove the
advert. Replace this with categories such as features, regulars, news… you
could add an editor’s letter. Upper case throughout does not work. Can you find
a similar font that allows lower case as well? Upper case / bold for the
headers is fine however,
DPs // upper case throughout- see my comment above. The
shots of your model are all very similar- medium close up. Add some more
variety. Measure the columns. Add a
solid line in the fold so that it shows in the export. Add the masthead /
website to the top or bottom of each page to brand the magazine. There is too
much empty space. Try adding a text box- e.g. with facts about her or her fans.
