Audience feedback of my magazine

2. FRONT COVER
I incorporated a website and
issue number as the audience felt
less familiar with the product. By
including a website it enabled the
product to look more professional
and lead the audience to further
issues of the product, gaining
their interest.
The audience found that by using a long shot of my featured artist in decreased the availability
of the artists facial expressions. The artist looked lost within the page, as it did not take up
much room as intended. I decided to change the camera shot of the artist from a long shot to a
medium shot. This enabled the audience to have a clear perception of the artists facial
expressions portraying their mood across the magazine. The medium sized shot allowed the
artist to take up more room of the front cover decreasing the bareness and enhancing the artist.
I decided the artist should fold their arms and place in front of the masthead indicating their
success and high authority.
The audience felt the masthead did
not stand out in comparison to the
rest of the page. I decided to
enhance the masthead by placing
two red thick lines above and
below the masthead. This alarming
red colour will now draw the
audiences attention allowing the
masthead to stand out and the
brand to be noticed more clearly.

4. Contents Page
The audience felt that the top right
hand corner looked bare and felt the
contents page should require an issue
number. I decided to place the issue
number in the right hand corner. I
placed the issue number in a red
circle allowing it to stand out. The red
circle was able to fit in with the
colour scheme and make the contents
page less bare.
The audience also felt that the
heading of each page did not stand
out due to the colour. I decided to
change the headings of each page to
red. This enabled each heading to
catch the audiences eyes attracting
them to each page. The colour was
able to support the theme colour of
my magazine making it look
consistent and professional towards
the audience.
The audience also expressed their views that the image of the featured artist
playing the guitar looked stretched and not proportional. This took away the
reality of the magazine and made the featured artist look unrealistic. I decided
to change this by making the image smaller and in line with the column by
doing so it allowed my contents page to look in proportion and professional.

6. DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD
The audience felt that the article was
unclear in distinguishing a clear
divide between the questions being
asked and the answers. I decided to
incorporate colour to the questions.
The colour red was able to fit in with
the theme and also make the
questions stand out more. This
improvement allowed the article to
become more clear as an interview.
The audience also felt when looking
at the article it seemed long,
overpowering and also thought
they were less likely to read the
article. I decided to place space
between each question and answer.
This allowed the interview to be
broken down and more appealing
for the audience to read.
The target audience also that the featured artists name did not stand out within the page. I
decided to use a similar technique to the improvements on the masthead by including a red
line underneath the name. The red alarming colour automatically draws the audience
towards the name allowing the audience to grasp what the article is about. Similarly it
enabled my magazine to look consistent by repeating the same technique on both the
double page spread and front cover.
