After analysing and evaluating my own contents page i was able to identify a few problems. Although, I as a producer would probably analyse in a biased way i received feedback from my peers. The reason why i chose to get feedback from my peers is because they are all doing similar tasks and they will find it easier to identify any production problems which they can advise how to fix with the software we use. More constructive criticism than if i went to my target audience.
1) One problem my peers had identified is the boring background.
I liked the idea of simple but it was too simple and made it look effortless and colourless.
I could not solve this by just applying a random background colour but instead using a sample from my front cover to create as a background for my contents page.
2) Another problem was the scan/barcode. I showed my peers that i wanted to use it to encourage interaction but they mentioned that it is very random on a contents page and that it should be place somewhere else. The point of a contents page is to act as a guide to help readers navigate through my magazine.
