Contents Feedback

I asked some people in my media class for feedback on my contents page so far and this is the response I received:

From this feedback I am going to act on it and maybe make some changes to the page, especially if I agree with any of the comments on what I could improve e.g. adding more detail under some of the features of the magazine.

The feedback from Halle suggesting that I make the 'Contents' look more prominent has affected some decisions I made, for this I have added a grey bar behind the title to help it stand out more:

Hannah's feedback suggesting that I add more detail under some of the features of the magazine has also helped me make improvements and changes as under the 'Reviews' section each subheading has some form of detail or description underneath it:

Editor's Note

Contents Page Layout (so far)

This is a prezi presentation I created explaining the layout decisions I have made so far for my contents page.

Contents Page Research/Deconstruction

This is a video I created of the contents pages I have deconstructed and looked at. I discussed what I thought worked well on the pages and what didn't as well as why and how features on the page were effective.

Front Cover Audience Feedback

This is a video I filmed with Hibah and Rubab, also media students, and they have given me some feedback on the front cover of my Alternative Rock Magazine. The improvements they gave at the end of the video will help me to ammend my magazine and see if there is anything I could change at all e.g the suggestion of making my pull quote look more like handwriting so it seems more personal.

Front Cover Linked to Research

This is a 'Prezi' I created to show the links I made between my front cover choices and the research I conducted.

Extra Features

This is a brief explanation of some of the other smaller features included on the front of my magazine, I explain my decisions for including them and also why I placed them in certain areas on the page.

Front Cover Features (text)
