Audience feedback on drafts

Audience feedback from student Stephanie Colderick aged 17 Draft-Double Page Spread I really like the images used within the double page spread and feel the styling of the two models works really well to make them look like an effective and genuine duo. The main image on the right hand side of the page is effective and I like how this takes up the whole page, however I feel that the guitar especially the colour of the guitar is very different to the theme of the double page spread.   The use of the light blue colour is effective in adding to the sleek black and white colour scheme and I feel to improve slightly you could possibly use this colour more especially throughout the rest of the page.  Your clear margins and guidelines really give the page a professional look and feel which is enhanced by the good quality photos.

David Carson Carson is an American Graphic Designer, who is well known for his experimental use of typography. He was also the art director for the magazine 'Ray Gun'. This was the beginning of his unique layouts and 'grunge typography'. Here is an example of one of Carson's ideas of 'grunge' typography. As you can see he enjoys to add more extravagant fonts to his magazines in order for it to become independent and stand out from the crowd. People often say that his work is imitated but never matched, as he continues to be one of the most distinctive typographic voices. Here is another example of Carson's work and at first the focus is on the title and picture as they are the most eye-catching at first glance. However, as you look closely you can witness what Carson is known for- his typography. As we can see that within this image of his work, the font compliments the colours in the photograph.
