Peer Assessment, Front Cover

This is the point at which my magazine was peer assessed by members of my media class.

One person said "the type of font used for the title of the magazine reflects the genre and name of the magazine. The house style is good and the colours are consistent". They then went on to say "The magazine was good with a strong and clear photograph centre of the page" Then quoted, "Possibly, the text/headings at the top could be moved to the bottom and the design feature could be enlarged - made bigger for it to stand out". Although another person argued that "the position of the text/heading should remain where it is and that a barcode and cover lines should be added". They also said, "Love the image, it sticks with the Urban theme and the header is very effective".
The last person to peer assess my work so far said "I like the picture, its crisp and strong and doesnt look cut out, but more work needs to be done on the coverlines" which at this point I do strongly agree with.
 The use of peer assessment helps me to establish the things that need to be done and ways in which things can be improved in order to make the magazine a success. Peer assessment helps me to create an understanding of what the public eye would want to see and buy therefore this is useful as taking tips and constructive critisism can help to improve my magazine.
