Firstly, we discussed the text on both 'Skin Shield' and 'Rays'. I had made the text on the first page of both articles quite large in contrast to the rest of the article, I initially did this as I wanted the title and article introduction to stand out. However, reflecting on Jennifer's feedback I can see that it looks a little strange and out of proportion with the rest of the article. I think that using smaller text throughout will give a more refined look to the piece so this is a change that I will tweak the design and text size to give a more uniform look throughout the magazine. (examples below)
After reading my articles, Jennifer suggested that in some of the more in-depth articles about skincare, readers may benefit from some validation, e.g the name of a professional who has offered their opinion on the topic or the name of the organisation who's research I have used to gather my information.
The last thing we talked about were my images for 'Bloom'. As mentioned in my post evaluating these shoot images, I'm not fully happy with the result of this shoot. Although I really like the makeup, the model is wearing coloured contacts (which she refused to take out) and I feel like this is quite distracting from the rest of the shoot as this looks so out of place. I'm planning to play around with editing the eyes in photoshop to darken them slightly so they look less unnatural as the whole ethos of Beauty Noted is focused on natural, wearable beauty. Another issue is that all of my images for this shoot are quite similar, with very little variation in the makeup or hair. As these images are only to accompany a short article about nails and lips, I may only use two images (one for lips and one for nails) instead of making it into a full editorial to keep the magazine from being repetitive or boring.
