In class we printed off our draft front cover, contents page and double page spread. This was important to do as we needed to all see our drafts as hard printed copies, I think even from printing it out I could already tell what I seriously needed to change.
From here as a class we all walked around and gave feedback to each persons work on things that were good or that needed changing, I made sure that I took a picture of the feedback that I got from my peers and thought it was essential to put up on my blog!
This is my draft FRONT COVER
The feedback that I got from this image was.
These are the changes I need to make to my front cover:
- The background needs to be edited, as the pink doesn't look right
- Her head has been cut off at the top, therefore I need to make the picture longer
- I need to use a much smaller barcode, as this one takes up most of the page.
- As well as the barcode I need to make the icons much smaller.
- I need to make the image much clearer.
- The "Ireland's biggest music magazine needs to be a different colour.
For my CONTENTS PAGE
Unfortunately I couldn't print out my contents page in colour, which meant that it didn't look as well as It could, that being said I did manage to get some good feedback from my target audience.
- More images need to be put on the page
- There is too much space around the page (lots of white) therefore I need to put in some extra things to fill up the page.
- Different fonts should be used throughout the page
- More colour needs to be added- colour should be added to the background
- I need to add more images of different people and different things to the page
For my DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD
As for my Double page spread, I knew that it was still In a major working progress, therefore it didn't look as good as I had wished for the first draft, my audience feedback said:
(what I'm going to change)
- There is too much white space around the main image
- More text to be put on the page
- More colour and Images and different font to be used
- Drop caps to be added
