Feedback Alterations

1. Vs

2. Taking advice from my “hot-desking” feedback, I
have decided to change the drop shadow on my
‘Jade Lou’ layer on Photoshop from a bubbly red to
a standard, clean cut black. After making these
changes I have realised how much more
professional and neat it looks. I still think the use of
the drop shadow is effective because it adds
dimension, however, I now realise that the pink was
completely overwhelming and slightly childish
looking.
I have also realigned the text to ensure
that it wasn’t squashed against the edge of
the paper which I now thinks it looks a lot
better realigned than it did previously.
For this part of my front cover, I have edited the ‘350’ to make sure it was
properly aligned with ‘page of pure music bliss’ as originally it didn’t sit
properly over the underneath text. Also, I had jumbled too many typefaces
up in order to create an effect which actually had looked a little too
confusing. Taking this from my feedback, I changed all of the fronts to
‘Mangal’, except for the number which is in ‘Times New Roman’ because it
brings organisation back to the front cover. I have also realigned it as well to
keep that distance.

3. Not only have I realigned the text
to make it look neater and to
leave a gap between itself and
the edge of the paper, I have
dropped the text size down on
‘upcoming collabs’ from 18 to 16
so that it doesn’t look so
overpowering. I think doing this
has restored some order to my
front cover and has balanced out
the size difference. I intended to
use a bigger size font for this part
of my magazine as I wanted it to
stand out, but I think it looks
much more effective being this
size than it did being size 18
which was far too big for the rest
of the elements of my front cover.
Similarly to what I have
done with the text on
the rest of my front
cover, I have realigned
the text on the left hand
side to “Right alignment”
so that the distance
between the edge of the
page and the text is a
clear line. This makes it
look much more
organized and neat, as
well as keeping the
distance equal. I am
really grateful that this
criticism was given, as I
don’t think it could look
much better now.
