Font Cover Update

I have slightly updated my front cover, taking note of the feedback I received. I have moved the website address to below to masthead to make more room for my main pug at the bottom of the page. This text was said to not stand out enough so I tried different coloured boxes underneath it, and I decided on pink as it goes with my house style and most of the other text on my front cover. This made the text stand out a lot more than it did, as this is the main text advertising the main article inside, it needs to be eye catching and draw in attention. 

Double page spread update

I have updated the left hand page of my double page spread. In my peer feedback, it was mentioned that the pull quote didn't stand out enough. I tried making it a different colour but no other colors worked with the background image. I think tried adding in a box behind the text, but I used a gradient  effect which made the black fade up from the bottom, which made the text stand out a lot more. I also moved the text into two lines, instead of one which meant I could make the text a lot larger. I also moved the text so it was central instead of to the left. Over all I think this piece of text looks a lot more eye catching and stands out from the strong background image.

Website - Fashion Page Updated

I have added in text to my fashion page, to create small articles about celebrities and their fashion. I put the text directly opposite the image used as I thought this was the most efficient way of setting it out. I also liked the idea of using big speech marks around the text, instead of using a box to make it look in place. I also added in an Accordion styled photo gallery. I used the same model in each photograph as I decided to use it to show a model of the year from the company of my products. I like the effect of this gallery as the photographs widen when the mouse is hovered over, so the user can see the full photograph. I think all of the conventions that I have added in are media rich and will appeal to my target audience of young females, who are interested in high street fashion.

In todays lesson I will be taking into consideration all of the peer feedback that I got, and I will try to make slight changes to my products from what has been suggested.

Class Feedback on my products

This is the feedback which I got from my class, commenting on my magazine front cover, contents page, double page spread, billboard and my magazine. I think that getting peer feedback helps with the quality of my work, as it is being viewed by who would be my target audience, and they can suggest things that would make my products more appealing to them. I have took into consideration all of the things that could be improved on all of my products and I will try and get them up to my target audiences expectations. Overall all of the feedback I got was mostly positive feedback, and backing up what I have already created for my products. Most people commenting saying they liked my theme colour that runs throughout all of my products and that my choice of images is good, but I could have a bit more variety of conventions on my website. I will take all of this structure into consideration and try to change some aspects of my products.

Double Page Spread - Credits

 I added in a section of text in the gutter which included the credits of the Photography, Hair/Makeup and the model. Readers may want this information to either find out more about the photography work if it is appealing to them and the same with the hair/make up. Also the name of the model may be wanted by the target audience as they may want to see more photographs of this model and look into different things that they have done.
