Negative:

• There’s a lot of

space at the

bottom of the

magazine which

makes it look

empty.

• The colour of

feature story

typography

blends into the

background. It

doesn’t stand

out.

• The main image

should take up

the whole front

cover. It looks

unprofessional

the way it is set.

Positive:

• I like where the

film strip is

placed with all

the feature

stories in.

• The main image

stands out so it

grabs your

attention.

• The placement

of the barcode

and date is good

as it is easy to

find the price.

Negative:

• The magazine

could be more

unique in its

layout. It looks

too similar to

other movie

magazines.

• The placement

of the barcode

doesn’t look

good. It should

be at the top.

• The main image

should take up

the whole page

and not be cut

off.

Positive:

• It looks like a

professional

magazine by the

lay out of it.

• The magazine

looks ‘filled up’

as there isn’t

any extra space.

• The colours used

for the

masthead and

the typography

is good as it

shows you the

type of

magazine it is.

Negative:

• Two of the

feature story

pictures are cut

off which looks a

little bit messy.

• The magazine is

a little bit plain

as there is a lot

of space which

could be filled.

• The main image

doesn’t relate

seem to fit the

magazine.

Positive:

• The way the film

strip containing

the feature

stories in is

different, which

looks good as it

would stand out

against other

magazines.

• The colours of

the main image

match the

masthead which

makes it eye

catching.

• The layout looks

professional

Negative:

• I don’t like the

colours of the

credits being

white. They

should be a

more subtle

colour.

• The form of the

magazine

doesn’t look

professional.

Positive:

• The contrast in

colours with the

picture and the

movie name look

good.

• The image being

black and white

makes the

poster look

spooky, adding

interest to the

film. It shows

what the movie

is about.

Negative:

• In the image

where the grass

cuts the

picture, it looks

a little bit odd.

It doesn’t suit

the image.

• There is too

much writing in

the credits.

There should be

less.

Positive:

• The main image

fits in with the

horror feel

because of the

crooked tree and

the silhouette of

the little boy.

• The colour

contrast

between the

title and the

image look good.

Negative:

• The poster looks

a bit plain.

There should be

more on the

poster to attract

the audience.

• The placement

of ‘Crooked

Rain’ is too low

and makes the

picture look

squashed. It also

leaves a lot of

space at the top.

Positive:

• The image is eye

catching. It is

unique by being

black and white

which makes it

look more

interesting.

• The colour of

the movie name

stands out which

makes the

poster look more

interesting.
