The document contains feedback on different elements of a magazine design project focused on R&B music: The front cover received feedback that it had too much text and would benefit from a simpler, neutral color scheme. The contents page feedback indicated the layout fit the R&B theme while not being too cluttered. For the double page spread, reviewers liked the use of two images but had mixed opinions on the background watermark. The debrief summarizes the key points to refine the logo, add more images to the contents page, and explore different photo shots within the magazine.

1. Flat Plan Feedback

2. Rubab- Personally I feel that the genre
of R&B will be more recognisable if
the cover was less cluttered with cover
lines along with a neutral colour scheme.
Overall I like the shot of the cover
image you have chosen
Aamina- I like how the name of the artist
is presented on the cover, I think it is
creative and unique.
Sana- I like how you have thought of the
masthead and how to lay it out, I also
like the way you have displayed the name
of the artist and how you have words in-
between the name. But I think there is
too much going on to make it clear that
it is for an R&B magazine.
Hibah- I like how you made the artist
name stand out and look unique.
Front Cover

3. Rubab- I like how it is not too complicated,
so I feel like it links to the genre of R&B.
I also like how you have a box at the bottom
to highlight the words. I think that You
should add more than one image to
the contents.
Aamina- The words contents are in bold, so
it is clear what page this is. The layout I
feel links to R&B as it is not packed with
too many images.
Sana- I like how you added the logo to the
page, it shows that this contents page links
with your cover.
Hibah- I like how the layout is, I think
that it links to the theme of R&B, I also
like how you have added the masthead within
the page. By using one image it helps show
it is an R&B magazine.
Contents Page

4. Rubab- I think that links to the theme of
R&B very well, it has a sophisticated feel
to it. The image you have chosen shows the
emotions of the artist and I think this
works well with the other pieces of the
magazine.
Aamina- I like how there are two images, it
makes the pages more interesting to look
at, the water mark in the background I
think links to the theme of R&B this
also makes the pages more interesting
to look at.
Sana- I don't like the watermark on the
page, I think it will make the words om the
page harder to read.But I like how you have
used a different shot of the artist from
the cover image.
Hibah- The layout gives a sleek feel, I
like how it looks over all.
Double Page Spread

5. The feedback I have received shows me that I need to
consider the amount of writing that I will be
placing on my front cover. I see that logo for my
magazine has given me some positive responses. So
within this project I will explore how I can create
and present it, I will again be asking for feedback
when it comes to making the logo. For my contents
page I will think about trying to add more than one
image into the page. My target audience has
also commented on how they like the simplicity of
the layout, so I will continue to base my magazine
off of this layout as much as possible. For my
double page spread I had received comments stating
that it is nice that I had used a different shot
compared to the front cover. With my magazine I will
explore different shots and see how I
can incorporated them within my magazine.
