Teacher Feedback

In my teacher opinion I have a good colour sheme but I need to re-consider the lay oiut of my contents page. In order to achive this changes I will need to look at existing magazines to gain a general idea, and find out that conventionally a box lay out is used. The heading of the ‘Features’ is stated and separated in to sections.

Regarding to the text on left hand side my teacher decsribe that in order to improve my contents page I will need to place all page numbers on the same side i.e the left hand side (like your first row).

Also, I havent got  the artist featured on the front cover of my contents page. In my teachers opinion I could imporve my contents page by continuity and the cover artist to be features in the contents stating what page the DPS feature is on.

The main image in my teachers opinion is fine but I need to make it smaller and place it within a frame place it in the top right hand corner where my teacher had drawn a suggested template.

Strengths:

-The way contents are big and bold to let us know what the page is.

-The way you have got different columns for different subjects such as features, departments, starstruck it gives the reader variety showing a busy magazine.

- Your image is strong and dominates the page which I’m guessing shows again who the main article is about.

Areas for improvement:

- You could make your headings bolder and bigger such as Features, Departments and Starstruck to show separation from the text as they are the same colours.

- Maybe use another image where there is room for one in the top right

-separate each different story with lines so they stand out more.

Overall I think it is a good contents page. :)

Strengths:

- The layout is very nice and the text is very easy to read 
- The different columns look good for different parts of the text 
- Your image looks very dominant which will pull the reader in and it makes it look very attractive 

Areas to improve: 
- You could make the headline a lot bigger to draw the audience in and make is stand out more, maybe change the colour so it looks a lot more dominant.

-Maybe add another image next to some of the text.
