First draft feedback

I have received lots of very helpful feedback on my front page, contents page and double page spread.
For my front page:
I have been told to - 
  • Added a pug
  • Use a more rounded font for the masthead
  • Stick to the left third rule
  • Cover lines must be smaller 
  • Cover lines must had spaces in between
  • The bar code could be vertical and up the side of the magazine
For my contents page:
I have been told to - 
  • Use a better quality main image as this one is quite blurry
  • Remember to include an actual section for the main artist because there isn't one
  • Don't include the masthead, just use an identical font and size to type 'contents'
  • Use spaces between all of white text boxes or alternatively don't use white text boxes
  • Make sure not to 'turtlise' the images (have parts cut off or uneven)
  • Include more stories
For my double page spread:
I have been told to - 
  • Make the text smaller to make more a story
  • Ensure that the title is the same font/colour/size as the masthead
  • Re-position S.O.D. to where her name is mentioned in the article
  • Always check spelling, punctuation and grammar
  • Get rid of any artist action e.g. *winks* - this is unprofessional 
I will take on these ideas for improvement in my magazine to make it successful.
