I had a one-to-one with my teacher on the text in my double-page spread article and she has given me some constructive criticism which I am going to take on board and improve. Listed below are the aspects of my magazine I can possibly improve on or change.
1. Spelling - On some words, I have misspelled, or missed a few letters out. Improving this will improve the overall mark of my magazine.
2. Layout - The teacher noticed I haven't put my columns in a conventional vertical way. Instead I have put them horizontal. That would all be well and find, however, I haven't included a clear bold banner which separates the two sides of text so the reader will automatically read vertically instead of horizontally. I understand this doesn't follow the conventions of a regional magazine, so I will change my columns so they can be read vertically so that it follows those conventions. If I follow this, it will be more easier to understand and have a similar resemblance to a typical regional magazine which is what I'm aiming for.
3. Wording - For some words I have used international terms instead of Regional terms e.g. 'Drugstore', instead of using this word, Helen has suggested I use 'Pharmacies' to make it sound more Northern.
4. Centre - The centre of my magazine isn't strong enough to withhold a higher mark. Helen suggested I make it bolder or move it to the top of the double page spread. I will take this constructive criticism on board and play around with my magazine to make the improved suggestions she recommended to give me a higher mark.
