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.
