Audience feedback

 

Old front cover

 

New front cover

 Which one is better and what do you think I should change?

"You second cover has a more professional feel to it. I prefer the picture changes in the left had corner. The change in font is also an improvement. However in your previous draft there are some feature which I think you should include. For example, the text placements in you first draft seem more precise, giving it more of a professional feel. I suggest that you create a combination of both when it come to the text. Combining the font change in draft 2 and text placement in draft 1 to create and overall more fresh look."

New DPS

 

Old DPS

 

Which one is better and what do you think I should change?

"I like that you have used a picture of the group as the background. This is similar to what is being produced in the mass market. This show that you have done further research into what is available and have tried to implement what you have learnt. This progression is impressive. I like the new DPS and when it`s going to be finished it will look better and the changes that you have made show an awareness of your target audience."

Teachers Feedback
This is the feedback that I got from my teachers throughtouth the process of my construction.

* "Your 3 products are getting there. I think you need to reshoot in profile rather than landscape if you are sticking with the band and it needs to fill the front cover. You also need to think about the mes as they are a band and should be styled in a similar way. Go back to RMAs and see how this works."

* "You've been working hard here- well done.
Front cover- nice title and purple- the cover doesn't all hang well together and the bottom section seems separate to the top. Lots of blank space so look at layout. Check cropping of photo. The price is large- do you want it this big?!
Contents- you need to use the space better here- a large picture and it takes up a lot of room- edit this as appropriate and make the contents more a list of features as it reads a little like a front cover. Check how many page numbers you have in a mag.
DPS- well-considered layout. Don't over-complicate by having too many font colours- it needs to be clear and easy to read. Check codes and conentions e.g. Drop Caps."

* "Excellent detail and work here L'Viany. Now as discussed, upload the post on the function of a magaxine and reflect on the feedback for your photos and make decisons as to which are suitable linked abck to the conventions of magazines."
