Magazine Peer Review

http://katrinaphotojournalismblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/magazine-covers.html

1. What is the name of the magazine that you looked at and who made it? Young Dreams is the magazine and it was made by Katrina.

2. List two things you liked about the magazine cover. I really like the photo that she used, it shows the intensity in the eyes of a young baseball player. I also really like how the colors of her captions are colors that are also in the photo itself. 

3. Suggest something to the creator to improve the cover. I think that Katrina could have used different fonts that looked more crisp and professional, or she could have not outlines the text with a different color.

4. Why did you pick this cover? Specifically what attracted your eyes. The photo really attracted me to this cover, the magazine as a whole is well organized, but the photo really hooked me.

5. Is there a bar code? Is it appropriate in size and located in the correct place? Yes there is a barcode in the right place and it is correctly sized.

6. If you were walking by the magazines in Barnes and Nobles would you pick this magazine up and look at it? Why or Why not?

I wouldn't pick this magazine up at Barnes and Nobles because I'm not much of a sports enthusiast, not enough to read a magazine about it.
7. Can you tell if it was a portrait or self-portrait? I can tell this is a portrait.

1. What is the name of the magazine that you looked at and who made it? The magazine is titled What's New and is by Bianca.

2. List two things you liked about the magazine cover. I loves the photo Bianca took, it's very professional. Also the colors of the captions and the title flow really nicely with the photo.

3. Suggest something to the creator to improve the cover. The price is placed in a awkward place, it overlaps the barcode so I think just placing that farther away from the barcode and making the outline around the date more even would make the magazine even better.

4. Why did you pick this cover? Specifically what attracted your eyes. The fall colors really attracted me to pick this cover, as well as the beautiful landscape in the background.

5. Is there a bar code? Is it appropriate in size and located in the correct place? The barcode is perfect and in the correct location, it just interferes with the price.

6. If you were walking by the magazines in Barnes and Nobles would you pick this magazine up and look at it? Why or Why not? I would pick this magazine up and maybe even buy it because it's very pleasing to the eye and seems like something I'd be interested in.
7. Can you tell if it was a portrait or self-portrait?

I can tell this photo is a portrait.

1. What is the name of the magazine that you looked at and who made it? The name of the magazine is Divine and its made by Reagan.

2. List two things you liked about the magazine cover. I love the photo and how the model has makeup on one side of her face an not the other. I also like how the red of the title corresponds to the lipstick the model is wearing.

3. Suggest something to the creator to improve the cover. I think Reagan could improve the captions visibility by rearranging at least the first one that says "Top Ten" because some of the letter blended in with photo.

4. Why did you pick this cover? Specifically what attracted your eyes. The bright red lipstick attracted me, it was very intriguing. 

5. Is there a bar code? Is it appropriate in size and located in the correct place? The barcode is places correctly but it could have been a little bigger.

6. If you were walking by the magazines in Barnes and Nobles would you pick this magazine up and look at it? Why or Why not? I would pick this up at Barnes and Nobles because I peaks my interests and has a pretty cover.
7. Can you tell if it was a portrait or self-portrait? I can tell this is a self-portrait.
