We worked in groups and presented our flat plans to each other and evaluated what was good and bad about the flat plans. We were told what was required to sustain a level 4 and we compared our flat plans to these requirements and how to improve our work so it is level 4 standard. We then take the comments on board to make adjustments and modifications to our own work as well as what was already good about our pieces of work (Flat plans). My flat plan needed modifications and changes so that it would reach a level 4 standard but it also had some good positive features which would go towards level 4.
For my front cover to improve i needed to make the image more imposing and one so that the audience can relate and empathise with the audience so they can create a relationship. Also i need to make clearer which is my main sell line and my sub headline.as the font size was similar so i would need to make the sub headline smaller or the main selline bigger or i could make the layout of the front page better. What was good about the front cover was that the colour scheme stuck well to the three colour pallete and also the three colours contrasted well to make other stand out. Also these colours related well to the genre of my magazine which was dance and dubstep style club music. My contents page needed altering too i found from my audience feedback that i needed to organise the page more and put it into collums and make it look more proffesional. On the left collum i could put list of bands which the magazine would feature and then on the right hand collum i could mention what features were in the magazine and in the centre i could put one or two images from the featured stories. Also the consistencty was good as i continued to use the same three colours of green, red and black which related to the genre . For my DPS (double page spread) i used one page for the image and one page for the text this way the image could be used as like a poster and its also a proffesional style which magazines like Q and NME have proved work the left page which will feature the image will also feature a quote from the text. My double page spread will be done in collums and make it easy for the audience to read i may also add a bit of colour to it. It will be in a cloud which if it comes off could be a succesful move. I also need to make sure that i make use the page to the best i can and make sure there is minimal white space as it doesn't look very professional
After looking at these peer assesments i have decided that my final product will need to make a lot of changes to make it look more professional and level 4 standard. These will include making it look more organised particularly the contents page where i will use collums so it is easier to read and understand. Also on my front cover where i need to make it more clear which one my main headline is so i will make this bigger. I need to also maximise the use of the available space and make it so that there is a lack of white space. I will also make sure my colours contrast well and continue to be consistent throughout. Also i will make sure i have a range of photos and at least one medium close up so the audience feel they can relate to the artist.
