my pitch

Thursday 26 January 2012

Feedback / Evaluation

After my pitch i was given questions from the audience (class) which involved comments and indications to improve my magazine.
questions were asked such as what colour pallete was i going to use, what the front cover would consist of and also the typography. It was suggested that my target audience was perhaps to broad, and this is therefore going to be slightly narrowed. I discovered that during my pitch i did not have a relevent title prepared, since then i have came up with the title of "SWAG".
my colour scheme(white gold and black) was decided because i felt that it was original as from my research i have not came across these colours used
