- Too many ellipses throughout.
- Lots of info on the front, which is similar to 'Total Film' and 'Empire'.
- Needs a new tag line, base it on the content in the magazine.
- Text makes the cover stand out.
- All the font is the same, keeping with the synergy of the magazine brand.
- Consistent colour scheme keeps the magazine clean.
- Head overlaps magazine title well, it means the title is still readable.
- 'The Survivalist' article is a bit of a mouthful - too many syllables.
- Exclamation point needs to be red in the 'exclusive' article.
- Change the wording arrangement of the 'exclusive' article.
- Contains all the conventions of a professional magazine e.g. price, issue number, bar code, website etc.
From the feedback I have received, I can conclude that the changes I have to make on my magazine front cover are purely textual. Changes will be minor, such as, finding a new tag line for my magazine; changing the wording of two of the articles; removing some of the ellipsis and changing the colour of an exclamation point. These are all very minimal changes that effect the overall flow of the magazine and it's effectiveness at selling itself to potential readers. Lots of positive feedback was received, however, as the class thought my magazine front cover was very professional and that it would stand out if it was in a shop environment. It was said that my magazine fitted the conventions of having lots of information on the front cover such as Empire and Total Film. All the information that was on the front cover had the same font style and colour scheme to follow with the synergy of the magazine's brand and the brand of the featured film. Overall, there was lots of feedback about the overall appearance and synergy of the magazine, which was very positive. But, there are a few minor adjustments that need to be made to the wording of the text that features on my front cover in order to improve the flow and self selling qualities of the magazine.
