FEEDBACK FROM MY DOUBLE PAGE SPRED

AFTER I RECIEVED THE FEEDBACK FROM MY PEERS

FEEDBACK The feedback I received from my peers was to change the pictures I had placed towards the bottom of my

double page spread. I received this feedback due to the fact that there was no point in why the images where presented on the double page spread. They had no meaning which meant it would had been much better to delete the images and only have a pull quote instead. The images where also stretched which meant that the magazine lacked professionalism because no magazine has stretched images presented on their double page spread. One of the main aim for MUSICAA is to be able to target their target market effectively and to ensure efficiency and professionalism throughout the whole magazine.

I was also told to change the sizes of my badge ‘exclusive’ and the text box down the left hand side that states who the photos where taken by. When i printed out the ‘before’ version of my double page spread to see how the information would look on a hard copy, my peers found that the sizes of the exclusive and who the photos where taken by where too big. Usually double page spreads have the exclusive and who the photos where taken by presented in a tiny text not too big but readable. Due to the exclusive being too big this one again made my double page spread not look professional as it lacked skills and specialisation.

Lastly, another feedback I received from my peers was to change the way the article was laid out and presented on the double page spread. The article was too confusing as the text and the pull quotes where laid out in a confusing manner without any clear layout as to how my target audience are meant to read and interpret the article. Due to the article not having a clear line as to how it is meant to be read it will put the audience off buying the magazine again as they will find the article difficult to read. This will stop the audience from understand what the article is talking about and thus decrease their incentive for buying MUSICAA magazine again.
