Further Feedback From Media Teacher

Media Teacher's Feedback:


Front Cover:


- Change the magazine issue number to a later date.
- More bolder colours (Pink Tones)
- Associate each story on the cover with it's own individual colours as apposed to use both black and pink colours
- Differentiate the masthead (make it slightly bolder)


Contents Page:


- Add in caption/quote to the picture of Elle
- Replace the magazine information in the bottom, right-hand corner with an editors letter or something similar


Double Page Spread:


- In some places in the article is "Ellie" where in some other sections the name is "Elle" - rectify this mistake
- Split the contents of the page on to the left and the right hand side of the pages to make sure it flows with the      folded page.
- Add in the Envy Logo on the page somewhere


Personal Feedback:


Front Cover:


- As the Pink tones are too light, add in a further house style colour (blue) that co-ordinates and contrasts with the pink. From this change, I will modify the masthead and change it to a blue colour so that it becomes bolder and stands out from the magazine shelf more.


- Remove 'Bieber Fever, Yes/No" from the cover as it adds no specific suspension to the cover. Replace it with a more intense story.


-Change the 'Ellie Goulding' font the new blue house style colours so that it co-ordinates with the masthead.


- Rather then have small tasters such as artist names at the top of the magazines, modify these and have a suspense and intriguing aspect of the magazine.


- Add in popular pop artist names onto the cover so that it gives the audience a larger taste as to what and who is going to be within the magazine (encouraging them more to purchase it)


- Remove slanted banner which is currently causing disorientation to the front cover.


Contents Page


- Add in the new house style color Blue so that the houe style and wholesome feel continues through-out the magazine. (Specifically within the font and titles)


- Remove the plain-like diamonds and add in large page numbers onto the contents page which gives the reader a better feel of direction through-out the magazine.


- Rather then having a boring white background, I intend to add in a picture of Ellie who is photographed against a white like background and extend this background across the page.


- Change the old envy masthead from the cover and update it to the new masthead.


- Add in 'Featured', 'Latest' and 'Review' banners into the contents page so that it becomes more structured and easier to navigate.


- To give the magazines a more warm-like greeted feel, I will add in a editor's letter which will make the audience feel more enticed to become part of the 'family' like feel to the magazine; which in the future will encourage them to feel the need to be updated and purchase the weekly magazine.


Double Page Spread


- Add in the new house style color Blue so that the houe style and wholesome feel continues through-out the magazine. (Specifically within the butterflies)


- Reduce some of the article so that I am able to fit in an image of the singer's album with details on how and where to purchase it.


- Assign the article to a horizontal postion so that it descends across the two pages like the generic and conventional music magazine.
