Magazine Cover Peer Review

The name of the Magazine I looked at was Simplistic by Avy F. One thing I really liked about her first cover was that the colors of the words were pastel and really went with the colors of the photograph. I also like how the captions are focused mostly around happiness. The only thing that could be improved in this magazine cover is the girl could have been just a little closer so you could see her better. I picked this cover because the colors went very well with the photograph and it looked very clean and unique. There is a bar code on this cover, making it seem more magazine-like. The photograph was not a self portrait, but a portrait of another person. I know this because I know what Avy looks like.

Out of Kaitlyn's photographs I liked the one for "connected" the best because I never thought of that prompt in the way she did. My least favorite photo is the one for "yummy" because I think she should have captured the word yummy in a different way than food. One thing I really like overall about her photos is that I wouldn't have thought of taking photos of a few of the things she did. I also like that she chose the "connected" photo to be black and white because it brings out the emotion. One thing I think she could improve on is utilizing the rules of photography a little more. I think she did the best portraying the "connected" prompt, and did the least best on the "yummy" prompt.
