Visual Feedback Tool for Media & Publishing

The challenge for media & publishing

Publishers review complex visual layouts — magazine spreads, book covers, editorial illustrations, advertising placements. These reviews involve editors, art directors, authors, and advertisers, each with different concerns. Coordinating feedback across all stakeholders through email and meetings is slow and error-prone.

Reviewer lets publishing teams upload layout spreads and cover designs for visual review. Art directors, editors, and authors see the same version and pin their feedback directly on the elements they want changed — headline placement, image cropping, caption text.

For book covers and magazine layouts with multiple design directions, A/B comparison mode lets decision-makers compare options side by side. Authors pick their preferred cover, editors choose the strongest layout.

Approval workflows ensure every stakeholder signs off before the design goes to production. No more printing thousands of copies with an error that was caught in an email nobody read.

How it works

1. Export your layouts

   Export magazine spreads, book covers, or editorial designs as high-resolution PNG or JPG files.

2. Upload to Reviewer

   Upload all pages or design options to a single review session.

3. Share with the editorial team

   Send the review link to editors, art directors, and authors. They review in-browser without creating accounts.

4. Approve for production

   Each design gets a clear approval status. Move only approved designs to prepress and production.
