Peer Evaluation

In class, we all pinned up our covers and ideas for our book early on. This gave us all a chance to give and receive feedback.

I pinned up my covers and, also, a couple of layout ideas for the inside of my book. I got feedback that the layouts were good, one particularly interested people, which was the 'MUSIC' page. However, the others were very neat and clean, and in the 60's pages didn't look too precise and organised. So, when I was editing my book, I took this on board and didn't line up images with text, and I even used text wrap on the images so the words would be placed around them.

Another bit of feedback I got was on my covers. People generally seemed to like them, but there was pointed out a way to improve them - or the one I chose. It was suggested I could make into an interactive GIF, and when you scroll over the cover, a spotlight appears on the figure.

At first, I liked this idea but then I realised we were exporting this project as an iBook, and in print (if we had time). So, I decided not do this, but the feedback helped me a great deal with choosing the cover I wanted.
