Feedback

I posted the images of my magazine cover, contents page and double-page spread on social media sites to receive both audience and peer feedback.

The feedback I received was mainly positive and some constructive criticism which I have took in to consideration and improved upon.

For example; Some text was difficult to read due to its layout or because the colour blended with the background. I have improved this by making the font bolder and duplicating the layer on Photoshop which gives the text definition and texture. I also changed the font to something more readable.

Additional Editing.

Even though I have already edited images for my magazine, I still have fun messing around withother styles that I think might look good if I add in the conventions.

Here is one of my edits, it's not much, I've coloured the eyes so they stand out more and the image has a white filter which makes it look clean. Personally I think this image looks better than the one used in my cover and might make a draft cover using this image...

Additional PhotoShoot

I am planning on taking a secondary photoshoot with either the same or different models. I have decided to do this because although my magazine is a specialist addition (focused on one person) I want to add photographs which can be used as advertisements for past issues, which gives my magazine more definition.

I have decided to get a male model to even the boat since all my previous images only contain one female model. This will balance out and fit the male/female audience criteria, which was something I was previously lacking.

I have planned for the images to take place in the school hall, which gives a blank canvas for editing. This factor will give me an edge as it will be easier for me to manipulate the images to the way I want by using photoshop.
