Note to the Examiner

Dear Examiner,
Over the course of the project, my skills have developed significantly, allowing me to create the magazine as to the best of my abilities. I have very much enjoyed this task, researching t, planning it, producing it as well as evaluating it, and I hope you too enjoy, as you read through my work.
Thanks for your time,
George Garrity.

Teacher Feedback

Main Points of Feedback on Draft 1:

• Sizing (barcode, text) not consistent with a real magazine.
• The type of red doesn't fit.
• Posing and styling wrong, looking too normal and not fitting to the genre.
• Title font wrong.
• Not enough text on the contents.
• Too much empty space on the contents.
• Tagline on double page has no impact.
• Bold needs to be used in the article.
• A lot of items lie on the central seam of the double page.
• Image placing on the double page is wrong, as it could stretch across both pages.

These points were taken into consideration during subsequent drafts and were methodically tackled and altered during the process. I believe that I have used this feedback to better and alter the magazine, as to make it better.
