Magazine Peer Review

Kendall's Magazine: Brighten
a. What is the name of the magazine that you looked at and who made it?
Brighten and Kendall Johnson made it
b. List two things you liked about the magazine cover
I like the creative photo with the lightbulb in front of the subjects eye and  I liked how the text colors really tie in to the photo and blend the cover together. 
c. Suggest something to the creator to improve the cover
I would fix the white text in the bright areas of the photo/cover because sometimes it is hard to read. 
d. Why did you pick this cover? Specifically what attracted your eyes.
I picked this cover because the bold title caught my attention. It went really well with the photo and the subject of the photo caught my attention because of the creative twist with the lightbulb. 
e. Is there a bar code? Is it appropriate in size and located in the correct place?
There is a barcode and it is the appropriate size and in the right place. 
f. 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?
Yes because it is very well designed to the point where the text (especially the title) catches my attention but the photo does as well. It is equally balanced. g. Can you tell if it was a portrait or self-portrait
It was a portrait

a. What is the name of the magazine that you looked at and who made it?
Vagabond and Kelly Thornton made it
b. List two things you liked about the magazine cover
I really like the different textures placed on the photo and how her title (name of magazine) is not at the top like everyone else's. I like how it is going down the side of the cover. 
c. Suggest something to the creator to improve the cover
I would rearrange the text boxes so that they are not all in the top corner. Other than that it looks really good. 
d. Why did you pick this cover? Specifically what attracted your eyes.
I picked this cover because it was different. I liked how the cover was not just a picture, she added textures and did a cutout of herself to create a more advanced design on her cover. 
e. Is there a bar code? Is it appropriate in size and located in the correct place?
There is a barcode and it is the appropriate size and in the right place. 
f. 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?
Yes because it is very well designed and unique. The different colors which contrast with the black catch my attention and it just looks good. Also the title "vagabond" makes me curious because I was not aware of what that word meant. g. Can you tell if it was a portrait or self-portrait
It was a self-portrait

a. What is the name of the magazine that you looked at and who made it?
Stress and Jaye R. made it. 
b. List two things you liked about the magazine cover
I really liked how the subject overlaps the text and his face in a way looks like a backwards "E" which is the later he is overlapping. I also liked how the color palette was consistent and the only thing that stands out is the subject's shirt. 
c. Suggest something to the creator to improve the cover
I would put some of the cover lines on the other half of the cover so it is not so text heavy on just the let side. 
d. Why did you pick this cover? Specifically what attracted your eyes.
I picked this cover because it was very symmetrical and clean. The subject in the center stands to and catches my attention, and the title is very relatable. 
e. Is there a bar code? Is it appropriate in size and located in the correct place?
There is a barcode and it is the appropriate size and in the right place. 
f. 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?
Yes because the subject in the center catches my attention. The magazine is very clean however his shirt stands out and draws in my attention. g. Can you tell if it was a portrait or self-portrait
It was a portrait
