Front Cover

Double Page Spread drafts

These are my three double page spread drafts.  They all fit in with the layout of my front cover and contents page.  The colours of my products are the same three to create synergy.

My Response

In response to my peer and teacher feedback, I will make changes to my contents page in accordance to what they suggested.  I will put boxes around my text to make it stand out as well as putting a box around my second image to make it look effective.   I will also try to change some of the colours around.

Strengths: The layout shows continuity and is clear to read. The colour scheme matches your magazine style throughout and the images link to your genre well. I love the features you've included as it shows a look into the magazine itself without giving too much away.

Improvements: Could put some of the text in boxes to make it separate from the background and make it stand out more. Maybe add a upcoming festival feature/competition.

Leah Darvell- Peer fedback on contnts page
Your contents page follows the typical conventions and the layout is very clear and fits with your chosen music genre. You have used the 3 colour rule using black, white and red which follows the conventions and looks professional. I love the detailed band index as I think it adds the finishing touch to your contents page.

To improve you could play around with you chosen colour scheme by maybe switching the red and the white around, as having a coloured background would add more emphasis to the page. Another thing that would add to your contents Page if you out a boarder around your other image like the top image as it looks really effective.

My Response

In response to the peer feedback, I will make suggested improvements to my final front cover by looking at different background colours instead of white to make my product stand out and also make my pull quote larger so it stands out.  I will also consider putting boxes behind the text to make it stand out and move they layout of some of the text to follow the conventions of a music magazine.

Overall Assessment of Blog: Very good, you have done everything that is asked of you and to a good standard. I would suggest adding videos, maybe a music video you like, this will help the blog be more individual to you.
Strengths of Front Cover: Includes the conventions of a music mag front cover, such as the headline masthead, sell line etc.
Improvements for Front Cover: Adding a background colour or effect would be a suggestion, over than this the front cover is very good.

• Overall assessment of blog - Plenty of images and text to go with it, making it interesting to read.
• Strengths of front cover - You have followed some of the convention of real music magazines, such as plugs, skyline and a footer.
• Areas for development for front cover - Maybe making the pull quotes font size bigger, making the white background not stand out as much.

• Your blog seems to be in shape, the posts are very detailed and thorough.
• The front cover is very well presented, following the common conventions of current products on the market.
• There aren't any real issues with the cover, but maybe you could add a pale colour within your colour scheme behind your models.

Your blog looks really good, you have posted a lot of videos which makes your blog interesting and exciting to look through. You have posted a lot of interesting posts and have done a lot of good research.
Your final front cover looks very professional and follows the concventions of a typical music magazine. I like the colour scheme you have used as it stands out to the audience.
You could develop your cover by making sure text can be read clearly over your image.
