FEEDBACK AND IMPROVEMENTS

I asked 5 people whilst in Leeds what is their opinions on my final product. I asked 3 females and 2 males who were within the my target age of 16-25 year olds. This is the response they gave.

FEEDBACK “The beginning of the paragraph is a bit boring. You can’t really see where is starts, it just jumps into the text”

DROP CAP Listening to my

feedback, I decided to add a drop cap to the beginning of my text. This had improved my magazine because it draws the reader’s attention to the beginning of the paragraph, making them want to read further. Furthermore it is a convention of double page spreads.

FEEDBACK “The quote

doesn’t really stand out enough. It would be easy to overlook this.”

GRAPHIC FEATURE To attract my

reader’s attention to my pull quote, I decided to use a graphic feature around it. I think adding the large white speech marks makes the pull quote stand out and adds more interest for the reader. It also breaks up the amount of text and image on the page.

FEEDBACK“I think the spacing between the lines of the headline is too much. It makes the text underneath look squashed.”

FEEDBACK“You need to reduce the spacing between the lines of your coverlines. They are all the same and they looks boring.”

SPACING I reduced the

spacing between the lines of the cover-lines and increased the font.

This makes the overall appearance of the magazine more professional.

FEEDBACK

“The lines going vertically are too close to the text”

SPACING I reduced the

text and image size so there was a wider gap between the text and lines.

This makes the text easier to read.
