To make my final products even better i have decided to get feedback from the class and ask them what they think is good and bad about my final products.
I asked people what they thought was good about my front page and the general comments where that it looked good and proffesional,the majority also thought that the main picture which was in black and white worked well with the borders and titles. One thing that alot of people did say that the bar code looked to big and took alot of space up for a barcode and thought there could have been more writing there such as what else is inside the magazine or something as small as a price to make it look more proffesional.
For the contents page I got good reviews for the pictures and fonts i used. People thought that the borders around the pictures made them stand out and that the fonts looked edgey and had an indie vibe to them. Others thought that the positioning of the title didnt look very well because it was slanted and would look better if it was centred and straight. it was also saide that it may look better if i used a clock white background as i have done on the front cover.
For my double page spread the majortiy of the class thought it looked well and especially liked how i linked the two pages togther and also made the title stand out. One thing that was said is that there could have been borders around the pictures to try and make them stand out more. they also thought it would add consistancy because it is done through out the magazine.
All in all i am going to considor all of these different ideas what people have given me to improve my music magazine in a way in which I think it will look the best.
