NEA constructive criticism feedback and plan of action

 

Plan of action:

Through my constructive advice from both my teacher and my peers I have highlighted what I need to do in the next coming weeks in order to improve and heighten my work. I will aim to complete the following:

Magazine:

1- I need to play around with fonts and insure that all the fonts are the same on my front covers. This should make the covers a lot cleaner and easier on the eye.

2- I am going to also experiment with different colours especially on my second cover as I am unsure the pink tone is fully effective. 

3- I am going to remove the shadow from the second cover and also get rid of the line on the right hand side of my first cover. 

4- I need to add barcodes to each cover to ensure I am ticking off all the conventions. 

5- For my content pages- I need to work on proportions and ensure everything is lined up correctly.

Website:

1- After Mr Escotts feedback, I need to change the first page of pictures as they clash in context and overall aesthetic. This will require me to shoot more content over the half term. 

2- I am going to shoot more content to include more content to the website.

I have created a collage of outfits from 'Paris fashion week' which I think create a nice visual appeal.

Here is where I have incorporated some intertextual references into my work. I have used 'Thurman's iconic look' to reference Uma Thurmas Kill Bill character.

Today I worked on my article for my website. I have taken this as my chance to include an intertextual reference- playing on the movies 'An American in Paris' and 'Emily in Paris'.

This lesson I focused on my website. I decided to make an interactive page where the images rotate round- which I thought would be perfect for a 'Hauteur Archived' section. I mocked up one of the sample covers and I will work on 4 more to add to the page in the coming lessons. I also added a 'Top Stories' section and I am planning on adding to this in coming lessons too.

Today I worked on a possible cover for the magazine and added some coverlines I want to include. I am planing on doing this to all the other possible pictures I have for the issue next lesson to compare which one works best.

This lesson I added mastheads onto each possible front cover to try and navigate what image works best as a main cover.

This Lesson I altered the brightness and contrast on my front cover image. I made the image brighter to make it less dull.
