2. Front Cover
I would align the text
down here better so that
it followed the curve of
the necklace more
accurately and wasn't as
close to the end of the
page. This would
hopefully of made the
cover look even more
professional.
The editing of the
‘Glastonbury’ and ‘Leeds
festival’ logos could be
improved. The quality of
the selection process in
Photoshop is visible
when zoomed in
significantly.
I would reduce the size
of the slogan visible on
the front page. This is
because I after further
looking at conventional
magazine slogans, I find
they are more subtle
and less emphasised.
I would look to alter the
models eyes in
particular, and give them
a slightly improved level
of detail. Seeing more
the eye details, I believe,
would allow for a better
relationship to be
established between the
magazine and reader.
3. Contents Page
The photo of my cover
star could be more
interesting and look less
like a passport photo.
The brightness could
have been reduced for
this image to show a
greater details to the
facial expressions – this
may also be impacted by
the lighting which
appears inconsistent
throughout the photo.
A more expressive look
could of helped capture
the audiences interest.
The background,
although colourful, isn't
particularly interesting
and the photo as a
whole lacks particular
quality.
I may have included
more stories that where
better linked to the
features under the ‘plus’
symbol on my front
cover – this would have
created a greater fluency
between my 3 products.
Perhaps the background
colours of the ‘plus
panel’ and ‘subscribe
panel’ could be more
inventive or diver from
one and other. The two
black boxes so close
together could arguably
make the whole page
less interesting and
professional.
4. Double Page Spread
A fault in Photoshop or possibly user error resulted in a
mysterious transparent hole in the middle of my image. Given
more time, I would have been able to change the photo or fix the
problem.
The writing that is
shaped into a circle does
not quite line up with
the shape of the plug
itself. Given more time, I
could have further
mastered how to
perfectly copy the shape
of the plug, and make
the plug as a whole look
very professional.
