Audience
Feedback and Evaluation
What
Went Well:
Front cover: From all of the
comments I have received, the image I used for my magazine cover looked very
professional and high quality for a front cover of a magazine. Furthermore, the
layout was really good because I included nearly everything there needs to be
on a front cover. The colour scheme I chose was also appropriate and it matched
with everything (the image and the writing). The fact that I used different
text sizes and boldness also proves that I have met the criteria’s needed for a
front cover of a magazine because it shows that I know what a successful front
cover looks like. The masthead was very bold and big, so that the audience is
aware of what the magazine is called. I also included other ways in which the
audience can get in contact with the school, e.g. both of the twitter and
Facebook logo were at the bottom left corner of the magazine cover. Overall, I
got a lot of positive feedback and I’m glad with the outcome of the front
cover. To improve, I would try to not oversize my logos as they kind of got
most of the attention of the viewer’s, rather than the cover lines and the
cover star (because they are the most important and key things needed on a
front cover) and I would experiment with more fonts to make my front cover look
more interesting.
Contents page: The contents
page was also really attractive for some of the viewers. They’ve mentioned how
well I layout may work as well as it being very clear to the audience. The fact
that I used the red lettering for the page numbers also proves this, therefore
I agree with the comments I was given. Furthermore, my contents page was simple
but it looked aesthetically pleasing for many of the viewers, so I believe that
I have met most of the criteria’s needed for a contents page. Also, I was told
that the colour scheme was really attractive as well as it being matched to the
front covers colour scheme. It is clear that I carried it throughout the pages
I was supposed to complete for this task. In one of the comments I received, I
was told that my contents page looked professional because of the way I layout
my work. The images were also good in
size, therefore, that gave the hint of a professional magazines contents page.
Overall, I was really pleased with the comments I received, I got a lot of
positive feedback.
What
I need to improve on:
Front Cover:
From
one of the feedbacks, I was given the advice to change the sizes of the QR, the
barcode, the twitter and the Facebook logos, as it seemed too big and
unnecessary for the front cover of the magazine. I was also advised that I
should change the font or the size of the writing underneath the logo, as it
seemed boring; to some of the viewers of my front cover. I should add pull
quotes and skylines so that it looks more professional.
Contents page: Although I
didn’t receive any improvements for my contents page, I think I could improve
on the layout of the whole thing so that I could show the audience/ viewers
that I have experimented with other layouts for my contents page. Furthermore,
I think I could mix the images and the writing together to create a more
interesting look for a contents page. I might try different colour schemes, as
I think the contents page looks a bit plain.
3
key points for development when producing the main task:
Front
Cover:
- I will make sure that I don’t oversize my logos as it takes up too much space on the front cover.
- I will make sure that I use a variety of fonts and sizes to make the magazine more appealing and eye catching to the audience.
- Lastly, I will make sure that I add everything that needs to be on a front cover of a magazine e.g. sky lines, pull quotes etc…
Contents page:
- I think I could tryout a totally different layout for my contents page, so that I could see what would be the best look for a successful magazine contents page.
- I will try to experiment more with the writing and images (mix them up a bit) so that it looks more interesting.
- Lastly, I might also try and experiment with the colour scheme, perhaps to make the page look a bit livelier, so that it would quickly catch the audience’s attention.
