3. To get some opinions about my magazine
pages I created a closed group on
Facebook which is a focus group. I am
going to use these opinions o improve my
magazine and make it appeal more to an
audience. I have printed screened them and
I am going to assess them.
4. These are the comments for my front cover of my
magazine. My participants seem to like my magazine
front cover I have had a lot of positive comments. For
example the picture is bright and eye catching and is
the main focus for my magazine. Other comments
included the main cover line is also large and eye
catching to the audience.
From these front cover comments I had constructive
criticism about how the colours do appeal to more
male audience and that some parts of my front cover
needs to fill the spaces. Overall these front cover
comments will help me to improve my front cover of
my magazine.
FRONT COVER COMMENTS
5. CONTENT PAGE COMMENTS
These comments are from my focus group about my
contents page. I have overall got positive comments
for example keeping the colour scheme consistent
throughout my pages of my magazine. The layout is
very popular with my focus group participants, which
has worked well. My participants think my overall
contents page is very interesting and also looks very
professional.
The improvements I need to do are to include more
images or more text to fill up the blank spaces. Also
maybe to include more images of what to expect
inside. Overall the comments I have got will influence
me to make my contents page better to attract more of
an audience. I will take the constructive criticism and
improve my magazine as my second draft.
6. DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD COMMENTS
These comments are from my double page spread. My
participants seem to like my double page spread how the
band in my image is the main focus of my double page
spread. The comments also say that the title of my
double page spread is eye catching and bold and stands
out to the audience.
The improvements which my comments say are to put
text boxes behind my magazine article as it will make the
article more clear to read and stand out to the audience
more. Also to make the kicker line larger and make it
stands out more. Overall my comments I have from my
double page spread will help me to create a second draft
of as better double page spread. These comments will be
very useful when constructing my second draft.
7. CONCLUSION
To conclude my audience for my magazine is young audience
of teenager and college students. I have made this decision
as looking at my comments they seem to say it is for a
younger audience and maybe for a more male audience
rather than female. The comments which have been made I
will take into consideration and input and improve my
magazine pages with the advice I have got off people from the
Facebook group.
