The feedback I got was almost entirely positive, but there are a few things I could improve.

On my front cover, one person said they thought it could be a little busier. Although I was going for a simple look in line with my feedback, I could possibly have added a few more things such as more plugs or a teaser to balance it better.

On my contents page, someone pointed out that there was some specks on the picture of the record. I hadn't noticed this and, if I had, I would've gone back and used Photoshop to edit this out, a simple procedure, and is something I would look out for if I did it again.

On my double page spread, the only negative point was that someone said it was a bit too formal. This shows that I perhaps I went too far the other way once I found out the audience didn't want it to be informal, although only one person mentioned it. I could change this with some word changes. For example, "moniker" could become "name."
