cover

3. Feedback 1
What do you like about the design?
It looks like a professional broadsheet front cover. I like the two colours used
on the masthead. The layout looks like a proper broadsheet layout. Relevant
pictures to the main story. Attention-grabbing headline. Use of grids and
margins are noticeable, making it look more professional.
What areas of the idea could be developed?
Not much. Quite like it but the Coca Cola advert is a bit out of nowhere.
Maybe should have stuck to colour photographs rather than black and white.
Maybe could have been small photographs to support the smaller stories.

What do you like about the design?
This is a very good design as everything is clear from the headline to the small
amount of text that is on the front of the page. It looks very professional. The
headline is good as a question as to me you are asking the audience which
reads your newspaper which also wants me to read on and find out what has
happened to this guy. The picture is clear to see and you can tell what the
picture is. The colours that you have put on the page makes the text stand out
a bit more than just on a plain white background. There is also bullet points
that tell you what else is in the newspaper which is a good idea. I also like the
shadow effect on your text for the main story it makes the white text stand
out a bit more on the black background. All your text is lined up and is clear
What areas of the idea could be developed?
You might want to read your text again in the white box as it says “At around
11:15pm last,” I am thinking it might be last night.

What do you like about the design?
Although the front cover is minimalistic and simple I feel it works extremely well and looks
very high class and professional. It could be believed to be a real magazine cover and I think
it would sell in shops. I like the cutting out of the person as the edges are smooth and crisp
which shows time and care has been taken so that the high level and standard remains for
everything. I like how the title and writing stands out. The differentiation in sizes helps to
determine the different sections and stops everything blending in together. I also like the
use of the colour white for the main body text as it draws it away from the background and
stands it out, ensuring is is easy to read.
What areas of the idea could be developed?
One thing I would consider changing would be on the main copy/article. I would left-align it
rather than having it centred as i feel it works better and your eyes glide through it easier,
making it better and simpler to read through with ease. I have noticed that for the mans
hair when you have cut it out, it looks choppy and jagged, I would recommend using a small
feather when cutting out as it can soften the edge line and make it look less dead-end and
blunt, adding depth and dimension to the image but also the softness could make it look
more hair like and less like a black of colour.

Everything other than what is mentioned below. It is all very constructive and has helped me realise

I disagree with the idea that I should left-align my body copy on the inside of my fanzine.
