In this blog post, I will discuss my second draft for my magazine cover, table of contents, and double-page spread. After receiving my classmate's critique, I realized that many things could be done to fix up my magazine. After I received my critique, I went straight into fixing up my magazine.
Magazine Cover:
After receiving my classmates' critique I:
Matched the two greens in the masthead and coverlines so it flowed better and worked with the other colors better. They still look slightly different but I think it's because the masthead has an effect on it. I think they still look great and work well together.
Added the golf ball in the masthead as the "O", I think it was a very creative idea.
I changed the barcode to a barcode I generated.
Table of Contents:
I didn't get any constructive criticism on my table of contents from my classmates, but I did get positive feedback.
I decided to add photos in the corners
Double-Page Spread:
After receiving my classmates' critique I:
Changed the color of the polaroid frame that was around my coach to a whiter white instead of that off-white grey color.
Changed the color of the background to a more blue color.
Changed the effect on the quote to a darker pink and thinner outline.
Placed my coach's name under the quote to show that he said those words.
Made the text bigger so it's easier to read and catches the reader's attention.
In conclusion, I have made several changes and I am very grateful for the critique that I received. I know that I wouldn't be as happy as I am right now with this magazine if it wasn't for my classmates' critique. I love how everything turned out and I think I am at perfection. I am very pleased with the current result and I don’t think I will change anything for the final magazine.
