5.  When asked what they thought of my
magazine, my target audience stated:
 ‘I like the vibrant colours used for the front cover, the
layout is also very busy without overcrowding the page
making it look daunting. I like the faded out background
of the box around the secondary image as this is very
different to any other magazine I have seen before.’
 ‘The colours of the magazine are very appealing to the
eye, the cover is very vibrant with a key colour scheme
running throughout. The images used are also appealing
and would entice me to buy the magazine as the people
used are of key interest in society today.’

6.  ‘The contents page for the magazine has a very
bright vibrant background, which makes it stand
out and look appealing. The scratched effect gives
it an edgy feel which also makes it look more
interesting and different. I like the slanted text
boxes as this challenges the common conventions
of straight aligned text.’
 ‘I like how the colour scheme of the contents
reflects the colour scheme on the front cover. The
images and headlines used also make me want to
read on as they sound appealing and of great
interest.’

7.  ‘The double page spread looks very professional.
Once again the colour scheme has been kept
throughout, showing a key sense on brand
identity. I like the black and white effect on the
image used also, as this gives a different aspect to
the other photos used in the magazine.’
 ‘I really like the whole colour scheme on the
magazine, the brand identity makes it look very
professional, and makes it more enticing to read.
The highlighted headings for each question break
the text up to make it seem more appealing to read
also.’
