Comments/feedback:
- Excellent
title – there is the basis for a strong magazine here. A crime drama
special edition is a nice idea and very much works with the brief.
- Some
key improvements required before the final draft – e.g. typos in cover
lines which absolutely need to be 100% correct. I would also look over
your choice of font/typography and think about what meanings you want to
communicate to the audience.
- The
main flash or cover line reads more like an advert for Netflix than a
magazine feature – how can you make it more appealing for an audience to
want to buy the magazine?
- The
smaller images on the cover in the bottom corners work really well both in
terms of design and meeting the brief. However, perhaps think about the
text that goes with them – again, it reads more like an advert than a
magazine cover line. I’m not seeing a huge reason for the audience to buy
your magazine which is ultimately what the cover is trying to do.
- The
inside pages need more work I think. It’s not clear what the feature is –
an interview with Riya or the young cast member? The selection of images
from the interview look great but I’m not sure how they relate to the
full-page image of a different actor?
- In
terms of page design, you need to go back to your research of inside-page
features as there are some key elements missing (e.g. columns, main
headline, introductory text etc.)
- The
Q&A feature reads really well, the questions are appropriate and the
answers feel genuine. My only question would be word count – how long is
the feature? The brief requires a minimum of 400 words.
- The additional page is a major one to look at – it is not clear how it relates to the double page spread. You may need to re-think that page and how you are using the images from the show in general.
LR:
- Change layout of double page spread
- Make full page image into continuation of interview with second feature/sidebar
- Change title to focus more on interview
