What went well - I think that I encapsulated the general idea of what a Big Issue cover looks like through the use of common conventions seen on the covers. Furthermore, all the text is clear and I decided it would be a special edition, so the entire cover is thematic to the Halloween style. The focal image makes it clear that the main article is a violinist, while the bobblehead of Trump and the copy gives further detail about other content in the magazine.
Even better if - I think I could have made the focal image bigger, as there seems to be lots of empty space on the cover and a lack of detail on the face. If I were to remake the cover, I think I would also remove the 'Pop to the top' slogan, because it feels like I have two slogans and I would rather have one big slogan.
Your work on the Big Issue cover has been very good. You have shown excellent understanding of magazine conventions and demonstrated very high standard technical ability.
ReplyDeleteEBI - your cover lines could have shown more of the BI brand values. Also the Trump design needs further anchorage through additional text.
