2. 1) What Are Your First/Initial Comments On My Magazine? “It seems very modern. The font and layout are going for the 'angry' sort of vibe, which fits the themes of modern metal .” “whoa he looks mean lol. looks like a nice clean simple layout” “you can tell that it’s a metal mag” “Good picture on the front cover, full A4 shot always works, good choice of font for the title and headlines, colour scheme works well together, pictures you have chosen decent with good profile shots, keep the profile shot in the corner on pg3 that works well.” “When i first saw the cover, i thought "wow, this looks really good” “Very good photography used here; I like the picture of the model. You can tell that it’s a Metal magazine.”
3. 2) Is There Anything You Don’t Like Or Would Change About The Magazine? “Probably make the layout and font seem a little less 'aggressive‘” “I think that the font for the articles is a little hard on the eyes. But Overall its great.” “would put the title MOSH at the bottom of the page “ “The front cover is pretty thread bare, punch up the names above the title a bit, and try adding some photos of the whole FFDP band at the bottom of the cover” “nope, it all honestly looks real good to me! well put together!” “I would place a Point after the H in the title.;) “
4. 3) Do You Think This Is Another Formulaic Magazine? If Not, What Makes It Different To Other Rock/Metal Magazines On Sale Today? Why Would You Pick This Magazine Over Kerrang Or Metal Hammer? (If You Would) “Similar to kerrang in it's approach, but the interview section was better than theirs” “love the bands on the cover so it would def. peak my interest.” “i think its similar in ways : the slanty picture but i think the layout of the stories is unique” “There definate similarities, the layout it baisically the same as other mags, but its still pretty empty on the cover compared to others” “well, personally, the only metal magi have picked up was the one featuring Five Finger Death Punch. So, i would for sure buy yours!” “I don't see a big difference between all of the metal magazines at the moment... They have different stories, but that's all...”
5. 4) Do The Featured Stories Interest You? “No they don't at first but I'm sure I'd still read them and have a ganders, but that's because they're not to my taste.” “yes! very good combo of bands listed” “2 of the 3 do, yes.” “Its not my taste in metal its American based metal, save Alice Cooper, it's not me.” “Yes, they interest me a lot, based on the pictures i just saw, i would buy this mag in a heartbeat!” “Hey.... FIVE FINGER!!!! For sure ;)”
6. 5) What Do You Think Of The Colour Scheme? Do You Think The Colours Work Well Together? “Colours worked fine for the effect and style you were going for yeah.” “Yeah, love the cover colours especially.” “Yes the black and red goes well :)” “think red yellow white and black are a really good choice, they contrast in a really nice way” “YES! it looks real good to me, seems to flow smoothly, and it kept my attention, which is hard to do haha” “Yepp, I think they go really well.”
7. 6) Is My Magazine Suitable For My Target Audience (18-35 Year Olds?) -Language/Mode of Address Used -Clothing -Poses etc “Seems pretty suitable, yeah.” “yes suitable for that age range” yes maybe even a slightly younger market too,“ “I think 35 is pushing it, more 16 to at most 25 years old” “yeah, i'd say its suitable, if they dont like the language, they dont have to read it! Haha” “It all fits very good I think“
8. 7) Would You Honestly Buy This Magazine? “I wouldn't buy it BUT that's because I'm not really interested in that aspect, not because it isn’t suitable or good.” “yes i would buy this mag “ “yes yesi would :)” “I would buy it.. No doubt” “im sure you know by now, but Yes! i would buy it!” “Yes I would. “
