Response to feedback

I have looked at my feedback of my music magazine front cover. I will take these comments into consideration when improving my front cover and blog. I will try to carry out more research for the planning my music magazine and add it too my blog looking at prices, costume ideas, lighting mise-en-scene. I will add more headlines and more detail and look at the positioning of the cover lines making sure they look In place and neat. I need to add a date and price to my magazine and follow conventions of existing music magazines. This feedback has really helped so I can improve my blog and front cover and make it the best of my ability. 

 

Peer Feedback:

Peer Assessment: Jodie Winter-Brook

Overall assessment of blog: You have put alot of thought into your research. You have taken alot of images and this is a good thing as you have alot of images to choose for your final front cover.

Strengths of front cover: The image you have chosen is good, on a whole it looks like it belongs on the magazine and also looks very 'musicy' in relation to your chosen genre. Your coverlines work with your chosen genre, you can also tell which is your main coverline.

Areas for development: You need to do research in to the way other music magazines position their coverlines as at the moment they look all over the place.

Peer Assessment

Peer Assessment - Holly Beaumont
Overall assessment of blog: Good use of research into your magazines music genre.You also have a wide variety of potential front cover pictures to choose from, which is good.
Strengths of front cover: The image takes up a good amount of the front cover. I also like the fact that the image is in black and white, it is very effective and relevant to the genre of your music magazine.
Areas to improve: Possibly make the font smaller and include more cover lines on your front cover to fill in the blank spaces. Include conventions such as a date line/price of the magazine and maybe add more detail to the barcode. The second image could be in colour to make it stand out more.

Cover Feedback;

• Image used is great, clear understanding of medium close up and that is conventional of the magazines now a days!
• The cover lines are clear and bold which is just what a magazine needs.
• As already discussed more work on the magazine is needed in terms of prices, datelines and banners but this can be put into practise afterwards.
• The barcode is clear and effective, put in a simple yet good place and wont need much more doing in that area.
• Try adding splashes or effects (Such as a star with writing in advertising something)
• Over all good use of colour scheme, if you are sticking to this try use more gold colours in the banners etc to catch the audiences eyes! ( It also looks very classy)
• Im not sure the second image is needed however that image would look great as the actual cover! try do a draft with that one aswell! :)

Great images, plenty of them. I like the front covers as well but could do with it being more detailed :)
