On Facebook, I set up a group in which my friend's could look at my final front page, contents page and double page spread and have an opportunity in which they could comment on what they like, don't like and what they think could possibly be improved. I got really good feedback. When on the group, click on the pictures uploaded of the final pieces to see the feedback that was written underneath.

Using this as a way in which to get feedback was good as it happened relatively quickly which enabled me to take some feedback and use it to improve my pieces before I ultimately finalised them.
For example, many people commented saying that the text for the interview on the double age spread should be put in white boxes or changed to white font instead of just being highlighted in white, as it looked too 'manufactured'. After trying out the white boxes instead, I decided I liked this better than having the text highlighted. I did also have suggestions to round off the corners on the boxes, however after trying this, I decided I wanted to leave them with the sharper edges.
