Peer Feedback

These are the comments I recieved as feedback for my magazine front cover.
Does the front cover engage the reader's interest? Why and how?

• Great academic image portraying the happiness of being in education
• The colourscheme is simply yet bold
• The model is in the middle and looks happy
• The shapes used make it interesting

This is what feedback I wanted to get, I made the front cover simple yet effective and wanted the colourscheme to be eye-catching and relevant.

What do the sell lines reveal about the reader?

• They are a student in 6th form interested in fashion & socialising
• Pyschology students -interested in humanities
• Image-aware girls
• Mature and want to succeed in 6th form

This is what I wanted to reveal about the reader. My aim was to make the reader those interested in looking their best yet want to spend the majority of their time on studying and revising for their important A-Level exams.

The next questions were 'who do you think the magazine is targeting and how can you tell?' and 'what does the representation in the image and/or in the language tell us about the potential reader?' but these got very similar results to the last question.

Offer one comment about the use of image:

• Very good
• Good image & colourscheme
• Girl is in uniform yet is a 6th form magazine?

I'm glad I got at least one constructive comment, when I put my new image in I will make sure the girl is not in a uniform but in her own clothes to emphasise she is in the 6th form.

Offer one comment about the use of language:

• Use of language is appropriate for target audience
• Good variety of colour and font sizes
• Try language techniques- i.e. rule of 3, rhyming etc to engage the reader

The same as above applies to this question, although I did try to vary the linguistic techniques- exclamatives, questions
