Audio Feedback: I think I received fair comments from my interviewee. I agree with the amount of text on my front cover; I do believe it is quite plain and therefore maybe could use some more text to fill up the white gaps. Having said this I was going for a more structured cover, rather than having as much writing crammed on as possible. Regarding my contents page my interviewee said that maybe there should be more writing with a smaller title. I disagree with this as I have 5 detailed features listed, any more in my opinion would take away some of the impact value of the pictures and even the heading - which I think is important (disk-one).
Video Feedback: My second interviewee picked up on the lack of text on the front cover as well and recommended possibly some font variation. Possibly some font variation may have been more adequate than increasing the amount of text, however I do have three different fronts (arial, plane crash and american captain) and I have stretched and thickened some text. Regarding the double page spread, both interviewees seemed to mention the same things. They both liked the titles and the 'R', commencing my article. However they also both thought that more pictures or a smaller picture with more text would suit. To an extent I agree however I think that multiple pictures would reduce the visual impact of my photo seeing as it's quite a dark, isolated photo.
My opinions: Overall I think that my front cover is the weakest page as it is quite basic. To improve I could have varied the fonts and possibly used a few more colours. Having said this I do think the grey scale image on a white background works so the necessity for multiple colours is questionable. I wouldn't make any changes to my contents/double page spread despite the feedback. I think they're structured well and the different parts (title, photos, text) all complement each other in one form or another.
