1. ON MY FRONTCOVER WHAT CATCHES YOUR ATTENTION FIRSTAND HOW?
From this question one of the most common answers was the main sell line
‘NEWBIE’. The reason for this was because it has been placed near the centre
of the front cover and it has been written in a bright, large font which makes it
stand out. The other most common answer was the model (main image), as
she takes up the majority of space on the cover so “she is the first thing that I
see on the page because it is the largest thing”.
IF YOU SAWTHIS MAGAZINEIN A SHOP WHATGENREWOULD YOU SAY IT IS
AND HOWCAN YOU TELL?
The common answer from this question was that it is a pop music magazine.
They said it was a pop magazine because of the house style; this is because of
the colours that were used on the front cover and throughout the magazine. It
was also said that it is pop because of the main image; the reason for this is
because it is a young artist on the cover and they are the generation that are
more interested in pop music.

2. HOW DO YOU THINK MY MAGAZINEREPRESENTS A VARIETY OF SOCIAL
GROUPS?
It will be appealing to young teenagers because they are the age group that
buy pop music magazines; this is because they want to know the latest gossip
about celebrities and want to know what music is in the charts. It can also be
appealing to the category of fan girls because of some of the content listed on
the front cover; however the main story might not be as appealing to them
because it is about somebody that they don’t know, so this could put
somebody off buying the issue. It will also be appealing to the trendy’s and
young teenagers because they always want to wear the latest fashion as it
makes them feel good about themselves. Overall the magazine represents a
variety of social groups because there seems to be something that appeals to
my target audience.
ON MY CONTENTS PAGE WOULD YOU SAY THAT THE MODELS AND OUTFOTS
AREAPPROPRIATEFOR MY TARGETAUDIENCEAND WHY?
In the question the overall answer was ‘yes’ one of the reasons for this is that
the image does relate to the sell line because the image was taken in autumn
so it highlights the season and the clothing that people wear in this season.
Another reason was because they are a similar age to the target audience
which makes this content more relatable because they will be wearing similar
clothes to the people who buy the magazine.

3. FOR THE TEXT ON MY FRONTPAGEDO YOU THINK THAT IT IS EASY TO READ
AND WHY?
The results that I got for this question were 50/50 as some found it easy to
read but others found it harder. The ones that found it easy to read said that
the text is at a suitable size because you are able to read it from a distance,
and the colour is the right shade. This is important because sometimes bright
colours are harder to read because of the brightness and then sometimes dark
colours are hard to see, depending on the background. However the text over
the main image is to dark for some people to read, so they need to look much
closer than they should do. Also on some of the sell lines the black outline
should be made thinner because it might make the text stand out more
because they will then have more colour.
ACROSS ALL 4 PAGES WHAT IMPROVEMENTS WOULD YOU MAKE?
For this question I got mixed answers. One of the improvements is to add
some moreimages on to the frontcover; the reason for this is because posters
have been mentioned on the cover so it would be good to actually see some,
also to link in with the sell lines just like the leaves with the Autumn Style.
Another improvement would be to move the pull quote down because there is
a line from the previous question underneath. It was also said that the paint
splats should be made a bit light/dimmer because they are distracting
underneath the text on the double page spread.
