My magazine pages

After finishing my first draft of my front cover, contents page and double page spread I asked my target audience for some critical feedback and here are some of the points they made:

• The writing on the front cover needs to be more clear and readable.
• Use more of a variety of fonts as only 2 fonts are used and both are similar with curly writing, why not block font?
• Good use of colours, the ones you have picked work well against one another
• On the double page spread it looks quite plain with a lot of writing.
• On the double page spread have a large picture of the band, as they are all quite small
• Allign everything on the page as when printed out the writing and pictures go off the page
• I like the name of the magazine, its catchy

So I will take these comments into consideration and apply these onto the pages for further improvement, but I am pleased that overall the colour scheme works well and the choice of name was a good decision.

Overall I have been finding microsoft publisher as a very useful program and Photoshop to edit my images which has allowed me to adjust the contrast, brightness and able to crop the images.
