Feedback

• The cover is not far away – lots of excellent elements here. Strong central image, good consistent use of font/typography.

• Having the title obscured by the image is a classic magazine convention but perhaps a little too obscured?

• Main issue with cover is the cover lines and main flash. This is both in terms of how they are written and also text size – they need to be big enough to sell the magazine to an audience seeing it in a shop. In terms of the writing itself, the cover lines need to selling the magazine, not an advert for the TV show.

• Secondary images meet the brief – perhaps make more of them?

• The inside pages need more work to bring them up to professional standard / A grade.

• Go back to your research and make sure you are including the key conventions of magazine inside pages. Don’t be afraid of white space either!

• Font/typography and text size in general needs work on the inside pages.

• The Q&A feature is appropriate and meets the brief – I think the answers read really well but the questions are perhaps a little too long? Think about this.

• The additional page is one to think about – I’m not sure the photography is strong enough to warrant a full page. Perhaps consider a sidebar that focuses on a different aspect of the show to have on the final page?

Learner Response

• I need to work on my sizing and composition of the main cover.
• With thew inside images make them appeal more of an interviews style photo shoot.
• For the 2 page feature make it appear less crowded.
