Audience Feedback Rian

Article 1: Is war the answer?

Yes, the layout is suitable for the type of article.

The bloodied style effect is suitable for the article

What improvements do you think can be made to the written content?
If the age group of the article is for age group of 14-21 then you may need to think about the consistency of the article, if I was walking along and I saw the heading “is war the answer” I would be intrigued, but once opened to the double page spread and saw the extensive text I may put it down.

8 out of 10

Article 3- The Low Budget Review

Not really, like other reviews I tend to find them kind of short and simple minded, so it’s a lot easier to process, either the text it way out of league for the “Low Budget” or it may need a proof read
