Rough Cuts Feedback (Teachers)

Having showed my rough cuts to my teacher Miss Appleby I received the following feedback which I was quite pleased about, especially the positives like “professional Quality”. I have also taken note of the comments in order to improve my work.

Teacher 1

What did you like about my project at this stage?

Front Cover

·         Really strong layout and good elements in layout.

Contents

·         Good Layout.

·         Good colour scheme which creates a good blocky style.

Double Page Spread

·         Text is positioned really well. Good use of quotes, lines, font size and  
      formatting.

What could be improved about my project?

Front Cover

·         Some of the shapes are too big/ basic.

Teacher 2

What did you like about my project at this stage?

·         The colour scheme as I like the reds at the top it is of a professional quality.

·         Contents Page – It is full up and a good scheme.

·         Double Page Spread – The layout is good and of a professional quality.

What could be improved about my project?

Front Cover

·         The name should be straight and the font does not suit the magazine.

·         The image background is a little dull.

·         Unsure about the use of bold for all stories.

Contents Page

·         Pictures of CD’s take out.

·         Photos of the week use only one image and name ‘gigs of the month’
     instead.

·         Unsure about font for numbers because it doesn't match the style.

·         Your image – badly cut out.

Double Page Spread

·         Image isn’t great and is badly cut out.
