The document contains feedback on a streetwear fashion/photography magazine. There are mixed opinions on the layouts and photography. While some layouts and photos are praised, others are said to need improvement. The color scheme receives positive feedback for its simplicity. Specific suggestions include changing the layouts of pages with just photography to improve structure, editing photos to bring models more into focus, and altering the font size and empty white space on article pages. The last two pages and front cover are called out as needing revision based on the feedback.
13. • What do you think of the layouts? Very basic
• Is the colour scheme too broad? Does it need to be more specific? Why? No it goes
with the pages nicely
• What do you think of the photography? Not the best quality, doesn't look like a lot of
thought has gone into them especially with Horatio – idea with the page on just
horatio maybe have the background black and them layer the images over the black
background rather than the images just fitting an over laying each other
• What would you change? The layouts, looks like it was put together on word
14. 1. What do you think of the layouts? I like the layouts, I think they all work well together
and they’re simple enough to be easy and nice to look at, but you can tell thought has
been put into all the placement of everything.
2. Is the colour scheme too broad? Does it need to be more specific? Why? No I think the
colour scheme works well as it is as it gives each page something more unique, if
everything was exactly the same it could get boring and repetitive. You also seem to
have based the colour scheme off of the images and I think this works really well as it
makes the colour scheme relevant rather than random.
3. What do you think of the photography? I think it has been done well most of the time,
but some of it could be used better on the pages, as the structure of some of them
seems a bit random. But the photography itself is good and I think when there are
articles involved you’ve worked the photo’s into this well.
4. What would you change? Some of the pages that are just photography based I would
change. The structure of them isn’t the best, I think just moving a few things around
would be good just to change some of the layouts, but apart from that everything else
seems very good and well thought through.
15. 1. What do you think of the layouts?
2. The layouts differ from page to page which keeps me interested as I am not just
reading through the same format over and over. The layout of the text seems quite
dense on slide 12 and the writing is fairly small so this could be changed as it was quite
hard to read.
3. Is the colour scheme too broad? Does it need to be more specific? Why?
4. I like the simplicity of the existing colour scheme. Too many colours would make it too
in your face for something that is meant to be read for an interest so the simplicity
makes the reader comfortable when they read it.
5. What do you think of the photography?
6. I really like the photography on Slide 9 as it looks really professional however I am
unsure about the photography on Slide 11. I think that it may have been the better
option to have edited the blur on in Photoshop instead of taking an unfocused photo.
This way you could bring the model more into focus as this would mean the attention
is drawn more towards the model and what he is wearing rather than the image as a
whole.
7. What would you change?
8. The font for the articles could be a larger size and the empty white space could be
changed so that there are some images or shapes or patterns in the background. The
front cover is a bit empty as well. I think that an image like the one used on slide 9
16. SUMMARY
I think I would agree with a few of the comments and its nice that most of
these comments are quite positive with the odd constructive criticism. I think
some comments on the pages with just photos are just personal preference
because I want it to be a fashion/photography magazine the photos are an
important part. I think I will change the last two pages because people didn’t
seem to like them as much within the feed back and I think this has made me
realise I need to edit my photos a little more because I think they look a little
like they’ve had no effort put into them therefore I think that will be next to do
within production. I also am not a fan of my front cover either so therefore I
think I will change this as well while I’m editing the photos that I have at the
moment. However it has also reassured me about my colour schemes as I think
that I was scared that a different colour scheme on each page would be too
messy but its nice to have so much positive feedback on it has made me
happier with it.
