The document summarizes the results of a magazine cover evaluation conducted by distributing questionnaires to classmates and others. Key findings from the questionnaires include: - Most respondents were female, matching the intended target audience - Over 75% thought the colors worked well - About a third didn't think the cover seemed authentic enough - Suggested changes included making the bar code and some text smaller and rearranging the "extra" section

1. Magazine CoverEvaluation 

2. Evaluation!In this slideshow, Im going to evaluate my Magazine Cover.To do this I constructed a questionnaire for each and handed it out to a few classmates who completed questionnaires for my primary research, and also to a few newer people so I can get a wider range of results and opinions.

3. Magazine CoverAs you can see, most of those taking part in my evaluation are female. What else is there to say?As you can see, the majority of people who completed my evaluative questionnaire. This works particularly well as my target audience was people in the area.

4. As you can see, more people have answered yes than no. Which is good. But 6 out of 20 said that they didn’t think it was authentic enough. Uh-oh! This shows me that there must be other things I could have done to improve my cover.

5. Now with this one, I would actually agree with those who answered no. Looking back at my poster, it seems just the same as every other. Perhaps an example of too much conformity to typical conventions?

6. So over 75% of people thought the colours worked well. I’m quite happy with that 

7. Are there any changes you would make to the cover?Some general comments...Make the bar code smallerChange the fontsRe-arrange the ‘extra’ sectionMake some of the text smallerChange the background colourQuite a few changes really. I know for definite I would re-arrange the ‘extra’ section. During production I was unsure on the placing, size and general orientation of this piece.

8. Is there anything you would add to the cover?Some more general comments...Maybe put some borders around some of the text. E,g, the ‘extra’ sectionMaybe a border?No!(x17)Quite a few people have answered ‘no’ to this, must be a good sign? Right. Perhaps the suggestion of the border around the extra section would solve the problem of it looking mis-placed.

9. Is there anything you would take away from the cover?Even more general comments...Maybe get rid of the ‘extra’ sectionNo...(x18)The blue writingAgain, quite a few no’s. There’s not much I can do with that is there? Here lies one of the solutions to my ‘extra’ problem. Get rid of it! But that wouldn’t really fit with usual forms and conventions of magazine covers would it? Shame.

10. So I got a 4* result.Not bad 
