Improvements to magazine

Last week in media I presented my Sixth form magazine to my teacher and other media students in my class, I showed them all the different ways I tried to make the magazine more presentable, such as the main sell line "pupil of the year Mikey Daly".
They then gave me feedback on what went well and what could be improved for future magazines
What they said went well

• The sell point pupil of the year
• The topic's on the magazine were all relevant to the target audience
• HABE colour scheme is effective
• advertisement at the bottom of magazine
• range of images are attractive and intriguing
• ear piece and text tend to follow conventions
• mid shot used well to give space for a good layout

What could be improved

• too many different types of font used
• colours are not clear on content page
• small text can be hard to read
• make colours more clear on the cover
• the blue background on content page would be better if it was the same as the Harris sign on the cover
• add a bar code etc
• reduce dead space on cover of magazine as it is a little to bland

I have learnt that I will need to use more clear font that suits the background next time and make sure that it is big enough to attract the audiences eye and entice them to read the magazine, I must also add bar codes and more ear pieces to give the magazine a more professional look.
 I also know that I should plan ahead to assure that I am prepared for making my music magazine, I can do this by buying music magazines over the Christmas Holiday and see how they use codes and conventions in their magazine, I must also make sure that I have pictures which appeal to the target audience so I can use them when I get back to school for my music magazine.
If i do all of this successfully I can ensure that my magazine is up to the best standard and hopefully get the best possible grade.
