Evaluating Other People's work

I looked at the work of April, Jess, Kara and Charlotte.
These are the comments that I posted:

April:
Overall, I like the magazine front cover and I think it looks very professional. I like the effect you have created on the bottom right. I also think that the equidistance is very good. To improve, I think you could change the colour scheme to suit the schools colours a little more. You could also include a price/barcode. I also think that the centre of the bottom of the magazine has quite alot of white space (your image could be cropped which would then let you make it bigger). I also like the name and logo of the magazine :-)
Your contents page matches well with the theme of the magazine that you have created on the front cover. I like how there is alot of images which make the contents page more interesting and fun. I particularly like the section about the Alton Towers trip. You have also numbered your pages well. To improve, i think you could change the colour scheme so it matches with the school colours. I alaso think that there could be less text. Both your contents page and front cover are very professional and it shows that you have good IT skills :)

Jess:
MAIN PAGE
I like how the colours match well with the school's colours. You can clearly see that it is a school magazine. To improve, i think youi could use a different font and make the text larger. I also think that one main image would work well.
CONTENTS PAGE
I like how the theme of the magazine is carried on to the contents page. To improve, i think you should include a couple of images, make sure that the page numbers are correct (e.g. page 1,2&3 are the main page, advert page and contents page not articles). I also think the line spacing could be smaller.

Kara:
I like the background of your front cover and contents page. I like the features with the pins and images. I also like the font of your masthead. To improve, I think you should make your font stand out on the front page. :-)
Charlotte:
I like the name of your magazine. I also like the images you have used on your contents page and the way they are laid out. To improve, i think you should change the font on your contents page so it stands out more.
