Evaluation Question 5, completed for my AS Media work.

1. For my magazine, I decided that I liked the
layout and style of mixmag magazine so I
decided to gather the basic ideas from mixmag
to use in my magazine. I used a similar style to
mixmag as we have a similar primary audience
which is 16-20 year olds and we also have a
similar secondary audience which is 20+ year
olds. Since mixmag has been so successful in
attracting its chosen audience I decided to use a
similar style magazine to attract my chosen
audience, hence why I selected similar colours
and layout for the magazine.
I decided to use a
similar layout
headline in my
magazine as it
shows the
audience the
featured artist as
clear as possible
and to make my
magazine unique
and give it
originality.
I decided to
feature the
colour red a lot
for my questions
as it adds
originality to my
magazine and it
stands out
however still
follows the
colours of my my
magazine
throughout

2. AUDIENCE
FEEDBACK
“ I think that mixmag has
very original qualities such
as the uses of colours, font
images and features – all of
these factors make and
keep me eager to read the
magazine whilst keeping
me entertained.
The magazine also allows
me to keep up with the
latest news and talk on my
favourite DJ’s.
On the whole I believe
mixmag is a very appealing
magazine to myself and I
would be willing to buy it.”

3. AUDIENCE
FEEDBACK
“ From my first read of mixmag
I know that the magazine has
been well created and is very
appealing to read.
The main image caught my eye
straight away as it is large on
the front cover and stands out
very well as it is a very bold
image, I believe this is a very
effective technique to use
because it shows the
originality of the magazine and
that is what I like about it.
My one and only critic of the
magazine is the lack of
promotional offers for
upcoming events – everything
else within the magazine suits
my interests however there
was just a lack of promotional
offers which could help attract
a wider audience.”
