Peer Review

I showed my magazine to my class and got some compliments as well as some feedback on things to add/edit to make my magazine ready to publish. 

First on the title page I was told that I needed to bold my subheadings or just make them bigger for them to be more noticeable, however another peer said that it being small is better to really focus on the main image which is really important in travel magazines to grab the reader’s attention from the pictures. In addition, a peer had suggested a fancier font on the title page because she thought it was too simple. 

Next was the content page, I received a suggestion to make the starfish picture a little bigger so that I could move the text, “feel the relaxation”, over a bit to cancel out some blank space. Other than that, I received compliments on how beautiful my pictures were as well as how well I laid out the content page because it looked super professional. Even there is a lot on it, I laid it out just right where its organized and does not look messy at all, a peer said.

After the content page, is the first page of my feature article which was on St. Lucia. One of my peers suggested that I make the quotes from the people I interviewed a little bigger so its easier to read. In addition, someone suggested that I split the feature article into two paragraphs instead of one big paragraph. The second page of my feature article is on the Sulphur Springs. The only suggestion I got on this page was to write more in the article. Include transportation, distance, and how to get there. Everyone loved the images and how they were placed.
