Task 4- Evaluation for Feedback on College Magazine

From the feedback I received, what went well for my college magazine was that I used the same font which makes it easier for my target audience to read. It was appropriate, as the text was clear and the colour of the text was eye catching. The colour scheme was appropriate and it slightly suitable for my college magazine, which does catch the eye of some of my audience. From one of my peer’s feedback, I was told that my colour choice wasn’t the best, as it was too bright and it took away the attention of the purpose of the text. The magazine is really suitable to my audience and it is very eye-catching. From one of my peer’s, there has been lots of effort made. It has the purpose to inform my audience about college life and what kind of gossip is out there, in college. Through my feedback, I have been told that it does link to my target audience as it is based on college life and not anything else. The teasers, coverlines and images all link to the purpose of my magazine. It has some slight use of buzz words, to create a sense of urge to turn the page and read the article. Again, my images are very suitable and link back to my magazine. My pictures were carefully taken and chosen, and they all had a purpose behind it, not just to look good on the page. My Photoshop skills have developed slowly but gradually, as my finishing product was mainly positive. I will be looking forward to using the proper cameras instead of my phone camera, as the definition of the picture should be exquisite due to such high quality of a camera. My layout of my contents page is simple, but not too hard to figure out where things are. I used buzz words, a skyline and many coverlines, linking to college and my audience. I need to improve on the consistency of my font use, as I used a range to show which parts of the magazine had more importance and purpose.

 3 key points for development when producing main task:

1.       Try to plan out my use of colours before I start making my magazine, by sketching out my plan first.
2.       Try to make more of a complex layout for my content page, instead of making my double page spread and front page look immense and leaving the content page dull.

3.       Try to make a foundation plan, by making some Photoshop covers to see which one I may go with and develop further.
