- good research - who they're aiming it at, where their heads are at
- contents pages - links to how much research has been done
- page numbers - whether included or not, good design is always in the details
- basic type skills - leading, compound words, use of hyphens, widows, couple of confused hierarchies, look at page and drawn to particular block of text that you're not meant to be drawn to
- proof reading
- UK and US spelling
- line spacing - a lot of places where line spaces were out by one or two pixels
*nearly every page on your publication will need changes at this stage, but they will only be minor*
Boards
- less words is better
- too long, didn't read - four lines maximum for each item.
Individual feedback
Strengths
- not tried to "cram" all info into one spread for each topic
- title on each page gives continuity
- white space works well
- page numbers are written not number
Areas for improvement
- print manuel - print manuAl
- consider what stock to print on and how dark the monotone magenta will print
- US - UK spellings
Considerations
- too much magenta? perhaps one colour for each book
- consider having 2D or 3D not a mixture of both for illustrations
Strengths
- uniform layout throughout
- easy to read and identify information
- love the titles and images below
- images referenced through body copy
- bibliography good
Areas for improvement
- layout and colour of contents page not as strong as rest of publication
- page numbering maybe better if use numbers and not written
Considerations
- SPELLING, manuel/manual
Action Plan
1. change my spelling, proof read - got some US/UK spelling issues
2. diagrams, some 2D some 3D - consider changing this for continuity
3. image size - make images all equal size so that they don't fall out of the grid
4. contents page - boring, make a bit more eye catching and in tune with rest of publication
5. costing - has to be included, mandatory
6. stock consideration - how will colours print out on certain stocks, will magenta change
