Four students between ages 15-18 provided feedback on a music magazine design. They generally liked the font, colors, title, and photos used but felt more design features could have been included on the double page spread. The designer found the feedback useful, noting it confirmed the magazine appealed to its target audience of 15-20 year olds while also identifying an area for improvement.

2. “I think that the font and the colours suit the genre of the magazine, also I
think that the design feature such as the circle will engage the reader. I
think that the title will draw in the audience as it is commanding and has
an exclamation mark. I think that the title on the double page spread
draws in the reader as it shows that the interview is about a secret.”- Chloe
Pennington age 15
“I think that the text is good on the front cover because it is unique and it
attracts the attention of the audience but I think you could have used a
variety of font styles. I also like the composition of the contents page I think
it looks professional. I think that the colour scheme is good and that it has
been kept consistent throughout the products. I think that the strap line on
the double page spread is very good as persuades the audience to read the
interview.”- Hannah Snutch age 17

3. “I like the text and concert picture on the front cover because it looks
professional. I also like the layout and pictures on the contents page and
the layout and picture on double page spread. I like the photo reel and the
circle with the pull quote because they attracted my attention , but I think
there could have been more design features on the double page spread” -
Eleanor Beaumont age 16
“The title is good it is bold and has a good outline so it is easy to read, it is
also quite simple, easy to read. I like the colour scheme because it links to
the magazine genre. I think the contents page is interesting and it has a
good layout. I also like the simple black and white colour scheme. I like the
picture on the double page spread and I really like the idea of a fact box
and the picture reel.”- David Carletti age 18

4. I think that the feedback has been really useful as it has shown my
what I have done well on my product and what I could do to improve
it. From my feedback I can see that my target audience (15- 20 year
olds) like the main front cover of my magazine, my pictures, my
colour scheme and the design features that I have used however they
feel like I could have used more design features on my double page
spread that would be more appealing to them.
Also the feedback that I have received is from my target audience so
it shows that may magazine does appeal to its intended target
audience. It shows that my magazine would be bought by its intended
target audience and that I have used the conventions of real music
magazines in my product.
