You'll all be busy polishing your work right now, so here are some things to consider as we come to the last week of the module:
• detailing in type is particularly important: type size, kerning, leading, column width, use of initials etc.
• look back at the brief and check you have covered everything mentioned there - folios, image captions, header/footers for mag name, an introductory paragraph to outline the article contents.
• Use your recto-spread-verso to full effect. Does the first page (the only thing we will initially see) pull us in and want us to read further? How can you be original in your use of content across four pages organised so specifically? Do you use the double page spread well? Does our eye read well across the two pages, or are there visual 'holes'? Are you using white space to best effect.
• Be aware of unity across all elements: does it all hang together and feel like it's part of on magazine? Check over their all their copy and see that everything is spelled correctly but also that it sounds convincing and professional.
• Lastly, you need to keep going and work hard! It always pays off.
