Feedback for contents page

The word 'contents' and masthead should be in a box along with the dateline and page number. There should be a second image, the column also looks too plain and there should be a page number on the main image anchoring the article as well as adding more headings.

Feedback on cover

The feedback for the cover is there should be a drop shadow around the masthead, the puff looks too plain and the font for the coverlines should look closer to the techno genre amongst others, detailed below.

Initial feedback for magazine pages

Drafts of my productions and feedback received and why and how I changed them:

Preliminary cover, contents page and double-page spread:
                                                                       
For my preliminary cover feedback I was given is that it looks pretty although the black typography is hard to read and the same is true of the yellow typography. The photo also doesn't really relate to the techno genre and the cover lines are jumbled. The fonts also aren't too professional and for the dateline, the J should be a capital.

                                           

Feedback for this is the green writing isn't clear at all and the image of Paige Harris unnecessarily overlays Hannah, the fonts aren't very professional plus it's hard to see the dateline and the background takes over the contents too much. There should also be borders for the coverlines.



















Double-page spread

The interview is too bunched together and there's too much going on, making it difficult to be able to see the writing and the fonts could be clearer and typography should go around or across the image, rather than over. The final box has too much space.  The page numbers, masthead and subheading beneath the title could look more professional and the title doesn't look close enough to the techno genre. The writing for the interview should be larger and the red should be altered. 

                                                                     

Draft 2:

The feedback for this is the font looks entirely different and more suitable for the techno genre and the colour scheme is more streamlined, making the cover look more professional overall and the typography is easier to read as a result. Another photoshoot was done to gain more photos and see if there would be a more suitable one for my cover. The result is that this suits the Techno genre much better and because the coverlines have been rearranged, they're easier to see. 

This time the typography's easier to see and this has been achieved by adjusting the fonts, colours and making the headings bold, along with changing the information below in Italics, making a separate coloured column for the features and regulars. Also separating the images with a clear heading for the Techno Beat review.

Paige is much more in the background now, so whilst maintaining continuity the image is less dominant, with text much more in the foreground and easier to read.
