What do you guys think of my Media Coursework? [pics]

[Patrick]

Spent all day doing planning and doing these - basically for my Media GCSE Coursework, the final part of the whole unit is to create a magazine.

We get marked on creativity and also how 'official' the magazine looks.

Each person got assigned a different genre. I took Celebrity Culture.

Basically we were allowed to use a real celebrity on the cover - but the rest of the magazine had to consist of friends etc (in other words, fake celebrities).

Can you guys have a little look here and tell me what you all think? And if possible - give me an idea for what the next, and final page should sort of be about? As I'm stuck for an idea now.

Maybe put a price and date on the front cover?

This, also, make the magazine name a bit bigger, it doesn't stand out enough, but other than that, good job! :)

Also a website and if you're feeling really giddy what the mag cos in other countries. eg Spain = €2.50. That's usually in really small print at the bottom

not too keen on some of the fonts and maybe but an ! rather than / between babe/hunks etc

Also with the barcode, look at the way it is on these mags, notice the colour too.

Barely even constructive criticism

Tbh, Amys legs look bad, no photoshop would be better than that

[Patrick]

Cheers guys! I've updated the cover abit and took on board what you all said.

It just looks really empty in the middle.. maybe move the 'Zac Efron' headline a bit down, change the picture because it looks too stretched out and move it to the left and have more things going on in the right. I love everything else

I like how you used the BB10 eye :P

Great work Paddy :) Could you post what you've edited? Also what did you use just out of curiosity to make these?
