Feedback on front cover

I received my feedback on my front cover draft and overall the teacher was pleased but there where just a few adjustments that needed to be made to improve the magazine.  The first tip she gave me was to use the Polygonal tool in Photoshop and use this around the artist/models legs and hair so it will look less pixelated therefore the image will have a smooth outer layer. The second tip given was to adjust my feature stories meaning make certain text larger then other as she believed it looked too boxy. Third tip was to add a footer to the page just so that there was an extra convention. I will take on board all of the tips given by my teacher and make these changes for my magazine.
