Research and Planning: Audience Feedback

I asked my peers for feedback on my magazine so far, here are some of the responses. I will use this feedback to help improve areas of my magazine.

Here are some of the changes I will make:
  • Create a positioning statement
  • Colour of text on the cover so it is clearer
  • More coverlines
  • The positioning of the coverlines
  • Layout of the contents page

These fonts are sans-serif, that means they are not        appropriate for my magazine.
