Overall my first draft for my double page spread was successful as my peers were able to identify the indie genre. Comments that Lauren, a classmate, made were:

• The pastel colour scheme works well with the indie genre
• Add something to “The Marigolds” to make it more interesting
• Make the smaller picture of Will bigger
• Change the number bottom left to 26

On my second draft I will take these comments on as well as my teacher’s comments to improve my double page spread. I am hoping that with the use of these comments my double page spread will more effectively portray the indie genre and therefore will mean that my target audience have a preferred reading of my magazine.

Specific actions I am certain that I will take to improve my DPS are:

• Add an image of a flower behind “The Marigold” lettering to make it more interesting
• Remove or move the smaller picture of Will
• Add in a third column
• Change the number that is bottom left to 26
• Add in the reference to the author and photographer
