Class Evaluation.

Front Cover

Positives- One of the main positives i received from my class was that i had a good, striking image on my front cover and it was obeying the frontcover conventions of a music magazine, as my model had good eye contact with the camera and it was a big image. They also pointed out that i had good house style and my choice of colours was very succesful, this links to the mast head as i used both the colour black and red in it to set the theme of the magazine. My big coverlines were much appreciated and my use of font changes where also greatly admired.
Negatives-The class found it difficult to see some of my font because of the darkness of the image in the back round. There are a flaw photoshop flaws that need to be worked on, as well with the image. My front cover image took a series of complaints as it was perhaps, too big. Therefore i need to shrink down the size of my image so i can include more headlines on my front cover, which was also a major concern from the class.

Contents

Positives- The continuity was much appreciated by the class as i used the house colours of red and black quite strongly in my contents pages, and the image of the model playing the guitar was also enjoyed by the audience.
Negatives- I need to include an editorial profile into my contents page, so i can let the reader know a little bit about me and what my magazine is about. It was reccomended that i sort out my image a little bit as a bit of his sock was missing due to a photoshop error. I need to sort out the page numbers, perhaps making them bigger and bolder so it's easier for the reader to see, and also i need to add a bit more information, perhaps a review section in the empty space at the bottom.
