Feedback on Context Page

Strengths:

1. There isn't too many colours so this causes the context page to look less busy and it can show that you have used constant house style.
   
2. There is a various of fonts. The serif-sans fonts are modern looking and it will appeal to your target audience; while the heading "Context Page" is written in the same font as your masthead, this can link into your theme of your magazine and well further show that you have used a constant house style.
   
3. The images reflect well with the text and can give the reader an idea of who or what is mentioned in the magazine.

Weaknesses:

1. The columns of text seem to be placed unevenly- making the context page look less professional.
   
2. The repeat of tag-line font colour clashes against the background and is hard to read.
   
3. The boxes around the sub-headings are too close colour as the background so this can make the white writing on top them of sometimes hard to read; furthermore, it can also make the context page look less professional.

Feedback: Front Cover

Strengths:

1. As the masthead and the word "Anya" are the same style of font this can instantly show the audience that she is important in the issue.
2. The banner with images can show the target audience of what is included in this issue. Additionally, the sub-headings under the images are short and often use the word "New" so this can shows that magazine is fully update with the latest music updates.
3. The use of kicker promotes offers in the magazine so this could interest the target audience as well as inform them more about the offers or what is included in the magazine.

Weaknesses:

1. Some of the font size e.g. the issue number and the tag-line are quite small and it can make it hard for the audience to read.
   
   
2. The bar-code is too transparent and it is unclear on the page.
3. I dislike how the masthead is not as bright as it was planned to be, instead it looks duller and might not catch the interest of your target audience.

Photo-shoot - Edited Photos

 

 

I have edited some of the photos I have taken. On most of the photos I used a clone stamp from Photoshop to get rid of unneeded objects e.g. the date of when it was taken. On other photos I simply used a black and white effect. I have also changed the brightness and contrast of the photos as well as the exposure.  

Photo-shoot

Theses are some of the photos which I have taken which I could possiblity use for my products. I am going experiment with editing some of the photos as they could improve some of the photos I have taken already - as some are too dark so its hard to see the image.
