My target audience have evaluated each page for me after my rough to help enable I make the perfect magazine specifically targeted at them. This time they were analysing my contents page.
Positives
- Neat and well presented
- Nice font used on the contents page
- Very Clear
Improvements
- Addicted to the mid shot, need to change my shots
- More colour needed
- Variety of backgrounds needed on the photos
- Too much white space- use a bigger font to help fill in the gaps
- Make descriptions neater
I will take all these comments on board and focus on filling in the spaces and taking new photos to help enable my contents page is at it's full potential.
After completing my rough cut I decided to get some feedback from my target audience and their personal opinion on my front cover. They told me what they liked and disliked about it.
Positives:
- They liked the name of the magazine, and they thought it was appropriate for my genre.
- They liked the justifying I used to separate my articles.
- Background colour was good
- Good font used for the title of my magazine
Improvements:
- More diverse fonts and colours for my stories
- Add more shapes and details to the magazine to add a personal touch
- Possibly could do with a bottom feature bar
- Change the front cover image needs to be cut
- Image needs to be more centered
- More articles and features needed
I will take all these comments on board and make my magazine even better focusing specifically on the comments made by my target audience.
Today I finished my 3 rough cuts for my front cover, contents page and double page spread. I've found it very stressful but I have enjoyed it. The hardest part so far has to be the photos and Photoshop. Hopefully I will get some feedback to help improve my magazine.
Rough Cut: Double Page Spread
Today I spent the day thinking about which colour would be appropriate from my music magazine. Especially for my front cover as that is the feature that will instantly grab the audiences attention. I've decided after careful consideration that my colour scheme for the front cover is purple, black and blue. I involved my target audience in this research and set up a survey to enable they are fully involved and agree with my decision. From the conclusion The main colours that my audience like were white, blue, black and purple. Therefore, I am going to take my audience into consideration and use these colours throughout my magazine.
