Test Buddy Feedback

Strengths: The colours all work well together and complement each other other. The layout looks aesthetically pleasing and how you would expect a typical music magazine to look (follows the conventions). Areas for improvement: It's hard to read the smaller writing, and there is possibly too much writing as it almost dominates the page. The colours used relate well to a real music magazine along with the evenly laid out images giving the page a good structured layout. The lighting on the middle image links well to the colours used to highlight the page numbers. The smaller font used to explain each article is a bit difficult to read, it could be better if they were larger to make it easier to read. You could also add page numbers to each image to show what article they are linked with and were the stories can be found. jamie's comment - the whole page looks really professional and realistic. all of the shapes nd different colours all fit in together. the colour scheme is really smart and works well with the picture on the page. the large text for the titles looks really good and catch your eye straight away. i love the main title how you've got the writing on top of the over writing, it looks really great! cant pick any faults!

Final Contents Page!!!!!!!!!

What i have done here is i have moved around all then contents from my draft 1 around. This is because all the information is relevant so i decided too keep that but all i did was move it around to have a couple of different variations. I have uploaded two because i could not decide whether i like the white box behind the text or not so i'm going to wait for some test buddy feedback to decide which one to keep.

My Aims For Draft No.2

Now i have fully completed my first draft what i aim to do for my next one is to change where everything is positioned. I aim to keep all the text from the first draft as that was the one thing that took the most time to come up with and took the longest time to complete. I'm going to change things like the fonts that i have used, the colour scheme and hopefully changed where everything will go as i feel the more dramatic changes i make the more choice i have when it comes to my final contents page.

Contents Page Draft 1

I have created this design from gathering a mass load of previously made contents pages from other music magazines to get all the conventions right. My favorite part about this design is how the text is set out. I feel the look that i have gone for with that does actually make it look real. However i was not to sure what to do when it came to the big box in the center so i just went and put some relevant images in there and await feed back to help me decide what to do to improve it.
