ConclusionImprovements:•The contents page and title page could do with more writing on them. •The title page writing could have a outline on it to make it stand out more. •The double page spread could have more questions on it. Good Points:•I stuck to my house style throughout my three projects.•My images have been well edited, and I used the rule of thirds. •Meets the needs of my target audience.
