Double Page Spread Final Product and Feedback

This is my finished double page spread. Although I do like the design of the final product, I feel like some things could be improved.

First of all, I really like the background I created and how I've deleted the background of the main image; although I feel like a better image could have been used. Another thing I sort of dislike is the colour scheme of all the text, so I may go back and change this if I have time to improve.

Here is all the feedback I received. Most people said that the colour scheme fits well with the theme, although can be broadened slightly. Another point is that the background goes well with the genre, and that I have a fairly good layout overall. It was also pointed out that I made a spelling mistake in the body of text, which has now been fixed.

Front Cover Final Product & Feedback

Here is the final product for my music magazine's front cover. I think that for one of my first attempts at creating a legitimate front cover, I've done a fairly good job with it; although there are few things I could do to raise the level of quality higher, such as make the masthead font more relevant to my target audience.

This is all the feedback I got for the front cover, each person giving me two good points and one improvement/ criticism. The majority of people said that I had a good overall layout, good colour scheme, good main image, etc. The main criticism I had is that the background of the main image is a bit strange, so I will probably remove the background and replace it with some sort of pattern relating to the theme. Another problem that kept coming up was that the font for the masthead is fairly irrelevant towards the genre and target audience I chose. 

Contents Page Final Product & Feedback

Here is my finished contents page for my magazine. I quite like the finished product, as I've created brand identity by using the same colour scheme and including the logo. I feel like I can definitely improve by using a wider colour scheme, and maybe using more images.

The things that kept getting mentioned in the feedback is that I don't have a very wide colour scheme, and only really use pink. It was also mentioned that I could change the colour of the font as it blends too much into the background.
