After doing the first drafts for the front cover, the contents page and the double page spread I then asked three people on their opinions on them to see if there were any improvements or changes that could be made.
What worked well:
Tanisha, 19- "I like how the text on the front cover stands out and grabs the readers attention. On the contents page the layout is the main thing that stands out for me and on the article I like the use of the quote over the picture"
James, 17- "The fonts in all of them are good and I especially like the way the contents page is arranged with all the sections. On the double page spread it's good how the colours match with the contents and the front cover"
Maisie, 22- "I like the whole magazine, I think it all works well together and the article is well written as well. The front cover seems really cool and the bar code and the price on it make it seem more genuine."
Even better if..:
Tanisha, 19- "If there were more edgy pictures I think it would look better and maybe change some of the colours so that they're brighter to go with them. I like the contents page but if some pictures change it needs to go together throughout the magazine"
James, 17- "I think it is quite girly so if it was more for a broader audience with like less girly colours then it would seem more like it was a magazine for mainstream music"
Maisie, 22- "I don't think it stands out to be a music magazine I think it looks more like a fashion magazine and the model in the pictures fits with this as well. So maybe if the model changed it could make the magazine look more like a music magazine."
