HERE WE SEE THE MAIN ATTRACTION TO

THE MAGAZINE IS THE COVER STAR. THIS IS

EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED AND BY THE LOOKS

OF IT I HAVE ACHIEVED IT. WITH IT HAVING 14

CHOICES, TRAILING IN FRONT OF THE

MASTHEAD AND COVER LINES. THIS FOLLOWS

THE CONVENTION THAT READER SEE THE

COVER STAR FIRST, THEN THE MASTHEAD

THEN THE COVERLINES WITH EXTRA NOTICE.

SHOWING I HAVE IMPLEMENTED THIS

CONVENTION INTO MY MAGAZINE WELL.

QUESTION TWO

ChartPopRockR'n'BHip Hop

HERE WE SEE MY INTENDED GENRE HAS BEEN

NOTICED. WITH CHART COMING IN FIRST PLACE,

HOWEVER WHETHER THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE

MAGAZINE OR NOT I DO NOT KNOW. THE ISSUE HERE

HASN'T GOT AS MANY TICKS AS I HOPED THERE TO

BE, WITH THE ANSWER “POP” COMING NOT FAR

BEHIND IT. I CAN SEE WHY THEY CHOSE POP, AS THE

MAGAZINE HAS MANY COLOURS AND PICTURES. POP

IS USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH COLOURFUL IMAGES.

IN ANY CASE, I HAVE ACHIEVED MY GOAL OF

PORTRAYING MY MAGAZINE GENRE. EVEN IF IT

HASN'T WORKED TO THE EXTENT AS I HAD HOPED.

“GLAM” LIFESTYLE APPROPRIATELY THROUGH A

QUESTION FOUR

YesNo

THIS QUESTION WASN'T A REALLY DEEP QUESTION. I WANTED TO KNOW IF MY LAYOUT HAD BEEN SUCCESSFUL. AND JUDGING BY THE RESULTS THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE ANSWERS “YES”. I SUPPOSE THE THEME AND LAYOUT IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. HOWEVER A HIGHER MAJORITY OF PEOPLE CHOSE “YES” SO IF I WAS TO MARKET THIS MAGAZINE THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WOULD BUY THE ISSUE INCREASING MY PROFIT.

MY AUDIENCE WAS IN FACT FEMALES 16 – 21, SO THE FACT THAT THE PUBLIC PICKED UP ON THIS MEANS THAT I HAVE DESIGNED A MAGAZINE THAT APPEALS TO MY TARGET AUDIENCE, AS IT IS APPARENT WHO I AM SELLING MYSELF TO. IF I MISS MY TARGET AUDIENCE, I WONT SELL ANY MAGAZINES, SO THE FACT THAT I HAVE HIT MY TARGET AUDIENCE SHOWS ME I COULD MAKE A HUGE PROFIT FROM THIS MAGAZINE. THEREFORE I HAVE MET MY BRIEF.

QUESTION TWO

WHAT IMPROVEMENT WOULD YOU MAKE TO THE DESIGN

AS YOU AN SEE ALLOT OF THE COMMENTS ARE BASED AROUND THE ACTUAL CONTENT THAT IS ADVERTISED WITHIN THE MAGAZINE. STATING THERE SIMPLY ISN'T ENOUGH. HIS WAS A CONCERN THAT I HAD THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS HOWEVER I DECIDED TO LEAVE IT. TURNS OUT THE MAJORITY SHARED THIS WORRY OF MINE. HOWEVER NOT ALL OF THEM DID. OTHERS SAID THE COLOUR WAS OVERPOWERING, UNDERSTANDABLE MY DESIGN ISN'T FOR EVERYONE. AND ONE PERSON SAID MY MAGAZINE IS PERFECT. WHICH I APPRECIATE.

“MAYBE ADD A BIT MORE COVERLINES ONTO THE

FRONT COVER”“TURN DOWN THE COLOUR A TINY. BECOMES A BIT

OVERPOWERING”

“NOTHING. I THINK THE MAGAZINE IS FINE AS IT IS”“I DON’T THINK THERE IS ENOUGH CONTENT ON THE FRONT

COVER...LOL SORRY””

QUESTION THREE

YesNo

IT SEEM LIKE MY SET PRICE OF MY

MAGAZINE OF £3.99 IS PERFECT FOR MY

TARGET AUDIENCE. MOST PEOPLE WOULD

PAY THIS PRICE. AS MY TARGET IT

AUDIENCE IS 16 UPWARDS, MOST OF THE

AUDIENCE WOULD HAVE THE MONEY TO

BUY THIS MAGAZINE, IT ISN'T OVERPRICED

AT £5.

QUESTION FOURSO THIS IS MIXED BAG, BOTH ANSWERS

BEING ALMOST EQUAL. HOWEVER COMING UP

ON TOP WAS DESIGN, THE MAJORITY OF THE

PUBLIC WOULD MOST LIKELY BE INCLINED TO

BUY MY MAGAZINE FOR THE DESIGN. THIS IS

EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED. HOWEVER NOT

MANY LESS CHOSE THE OPPOSITE ANSWER.

SHOWING BOTH ASPECTS OF MY DESIGN ARE

TEMPTING. RESULTING IN AN ACCOMPLISHED

OVERALL MAGAZINE DESIGN.

QUESTION FIVE

WHAT ARE YOU VIEWS ON THE MAGAZINES COLOUR SCHEME

ON THE MOST PART THE COLOUR HAS GOTTEN A BRILLIANT RECEPTION, WITH A REPETITION OF ANSWERS PREVIOUSLY SHOWN TO DEAL WITH OVERPOWERING COLOUR. I UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE MAY FEEL THAT, HOWEVER AS MOST PEOPLE LIKE THE COLOUR, AND UNDERSTAND WHAT IMAGE I AM TRYING TO CREATE. SO OVERALL I BELIEVE I HAVE ACHIEVED WHAT I WAS TRYING TO.

“THE COLOUR IS THE BEST PART OF THE MAGAZINE,

ITS JUST SO VIBRANT”“THE COLOUR FITS THE THEME PERFECTLY, I LOVE

THE BLUES AND PINKS TOGETHER, THEY REALLY LOOK GOOD TOGETHER.”

“YOU CAN CLEARLY TELL WHAT THEME YOUR TRYING TO CREATE”

“A BIT TO MUCH COLOUR ON THE MAGAZINE FOR ME,

OVERPOWERING”

QUESTION SIX

FINALLY MOST OF THE CLOSING COMMENTS WHERE POSITIVE, I DIDN'T GET MANY AS MOST PARTICIPANTS DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION. HOWEVER WITH WHAT I DID GET ALL OF IT WAS POSITIVE, COMMENTING MOSTLY ON THE DESIGN SIDE OF THINGS. SHOWING MY DESIGN REALLY HAD AN IMPACT ON PEOPLE. WHICH WAS MY MAIN GOAL.

“OVERALL I THINK YOUR MAGAZINE IS REALLY

BRILLIANT CONSIDERING THE TIME YOU HAD TO PUT

IT TOGETHER.”“I REALLY THINK THAT THE IMAGES REALLY SUITED

THE MAGAZINE”
