2. For this question all 10 of the people I questioned thought that my music magazine was
suitable for people who are interested in the indie/rock genre, this suggests to me that I
included the correct information, contents and pictures which were appropriate for my
audience, in consequence to this it portrays that I researched into my genre correctly.
3. 8 out of the ten people I asked said that they thought my front cover, contents and DPS
complemented each other which proves to me that when designing them I had kept each
page in mind, and considered the mise en scen, colour scheme and over all house style.
However 2 people answered no to this question, in my opinion I think that was probably
more due to the fact that my double page spread had a different colour scheme which
incorporated red rather than purple, despite this being purposely done because I tried to
reframe from my magazine pages looking to similar and tried to create them individually,
because this could cause my reader to loose interest.
4. 100% of the people I asked believed that my media product was uniformed and
professional, this conveys to me that I considered this when creating each page. The overall
house style includes professional looking images and that also the lay out of my magazine is
uniformed and easy to read. However in my own opinion I think certain aspects could be
more professional looking if I was to do this again.
5. This was quite an open question which allowed my readers to give feedback on the
overall look and content of my magazine, all of my readers answered this question yes
which would highlight that I have designed it in away which will appeal to the people
of the indie/rock genre, the most specified comments which were wrote are, “good
use of colour scheme” “eye catching headlines” “realistic looking features and articles”.
6. I asked this question in order to see whether my audience could identify the correct
colour scheme, which most did, most comments were aimed at my DPS which obviously
doesn’t convey the same colour scheme as the previous two pages, however this was
done purposely in order to ensure this page stood out from the rest as it was my main
feature article, although I did try to show to keep 3 consecutive colours which were,
black, grey and white.
7. Again, I tried to use open questions in this after audience feedback in order to gain my
possible readers input and opinions, nearly all of the comments I got were positive, and
the rest were constructive criticism which I could later amend if thought this was
necessary , comments I received were “informative, colourful, professional,
representation of the indie rock genre”
8. I asked this question because I was unsure of my price in the first place, so once my
media product was finished and people could see it completed I was able to estimate a
better price, I came to the conclusion that £2.80 was suitable as I wanted it to be
expensive enough to make profit yet cheap enough for teenagers and young adults to
buy. 60% of the people I asked said that they thought this price was accurate for my
magazine, the other 40% said my magazine should have been cheaper.
9. This question was one of my main
questions which I most anticipated the
answers to because of how much
effort I put into taking and editing
these pictures, the overall feedback I
gained about these images was that
my DPS image was the most
appealing, this was probably due to it
being took on an SLR camera similar to
my front cover and contents page. I
think this stood out most due to it
being edited in to black and white and
because it isn’t stereotypical of a
normal DPS. People I asked also said
that my contents page mian picture
was good because it looked very
naturalistic. One piece of negative
feedback I gained was that the arctic
monkeys picture on the front cover of
my magazine wasn’t clear enough, this
was pobably due to it being took on
my iphone
