Magazine Cover: Peer Review

1. What is the name of the magazine that you looked at and who made it?
The magazine is called"Dance" and it is by Elisa Perez from period 4.

2. List two things you liked about the magazine cover
I love picture and how she got her subject still without a blur and the quality of the shot is great. I also like how the text wraps around the model's body because it emphasizes the importance of the dancer.

3. Suggest something to the creator to improve the cover
I would suggest to make the title white instead of black because right now you can't really read what the title says. I think think white would pop a little more to get the reader's attention.

4. Why did you pick this cover? Specifically what attracted your eyes.
The dancer. I've always been a fan of dancer portraits because they look really graceful when they a frozen in a photograph.

5. Is there a bar code? 
 Yes there is a bar code.

6. Did that make it more "magazine-like"?
The barcode did help it look more like a magazine because it looks like a real barcode you would find on a magazine anywhere as opposed to one that is cut in half like the other cover I saw.

7. Can you tell if it was a portrait or self-portrait?

I think it is a portrait because the camera is too high to be sitting on a ti pod and the girl in the photo is not the girl who posted the magazine. One of the header talks about an interview with Olivia Warren so I think the dancer's name is Olivia.
