FRONT COVER!
AUDIENCE FEEDBACK.
I created a tally chart and asked my audience (10 people) who are aged 16/17 for their opinions on some of the questions asked. I then wrote down what they said.
What genre is my magazine? indie/rock 9 pop metal indie 1
Would you buy my magazine? YES-8 NO 2- IF NO, WHY? I don't like rock music 2
Does my magazine have a professional finish to it? YES 9 NO IF NO, WHY? It does but the image quality isn't great
Is the price reasonable for your age group? (16-17) YES 10 NO 0
I then asked each individual 1 thing they like and 1 thing they'd improve.
1LIKE - the image is dominant
DISLIKE theres not enough cover lines
2 LIKE the house style works well with the genre of music

DISLIKE the font on the mast head and the font on the contents page title isn't the same, using the one on the contents page looks more rocky''
CONTENTS PAGE!
I did the same as above, with different questions, asking the same people for a more distinct opinion.

I then asked each individual 1 thing they like and 1 thing they'd improve.

9LIKE the page looks professional and the image stands out
DISLIKE you should have used the same background that you did on the front cover to make it stand out more.
10LIKE the house style works well together
DISLIKE the masthead should have been bigger.
I am happy with the audience feedback as a lot of people said they would buy my magazine and it appeals to them. I agree with some of the negative feedback as for the double page spread I also don't think it fits well with my contents page and front cover.
If I was to change anything I would change the background or make it black and white to give a more 'retro' effect to my magazine.
