My Response to Feedback on my Double Page Spread

Now that I have received feedback on my double page spread, I know how I can improve my product to give the most professional appearance possible. 

To improve I will:

• Add the main subjects name to the page
• Add a headline
• Add a drop cap
• Change the background
• Experiment with the fonts
• Possibly add another, smaller photo to the page
• Make the red colour used on the large letter 'L' less bright
• Make the page less empty
• Make the page more unique

Feedback on my Double Page Spread from Peers

Jodie-

• The page is quite empty.
• It's not very unique.

Kate- 

• It has a good layout.
• The picture is good and goes well with the page.
• Is very conventional.
• The large letter 'L' may need making less bright.

Hollie-

• The costume on the model goes well with the genre.
• The overall look of the page fits well with the theme and genre.
• The large 'L' looks good.
• The columns look good and make it easy to read.

My Response to Feedback on my Contents Page

After receiving feedback from my peers I now have a greater idea of how to improve my contents page to give it the professional and unique look I am hoping to achieve.

To improve I will:

• Experiment with the font and appearance of the title to make it stand out more
• Make the text in the subscription box stand out more
• Either change the text colour on the review section or change the background colour to enable it to be read easily
• Refine the text in the captions
• Add some more original images
