1. .
This shows what genre
people expected the
magazine to be just on
seeing the front cover (the
bit that would first be seen
on a shelf so it is crucial
that it is correct)
I intended for the magazine
to be a rockmagazine and
it seems that my attempts
at showing this through the
front cover have been
successful as it shows that
the majority of my target
audience can tell that it
would in fact be of this
genre
2. .
This question evaluates
how successful my title
was for the magazine.
It is important that the title
follows the genre and flow
of the magazine for it to be
successful and as it is one
of the most noticable things
on the front page and will
be seen on every cover
then it needs to be good.
This shows that themajorty
felt it was edgy and rocky.
Ad this is the feel I wanted
for the magazine it shows
that my attempts at the
genre have been good and
my audience understand.
3. .
As the font and typography
is important to the over all
fell and readability of the
magazine, it is seen in
many places and so it must
give the correct impression
about the magazine.
Most believe that the font
created a rocky and edgy
feel again, it must therefor
appeal to my audience and
it makes it clear what the
genre of the magazine is
intended to be.
4. .
This evaluates how well a
convention has been
followed. The idea that the
main story will be the
biggest and most obvious,
stand out the most on the
front cover.
When asked which one the
audience thought the main
story was, to see if I had
followed this convention
successfully, they all
correctly said 'Danger
Danger, High Voltage.' So I
have followed this
convention well.
5. .
Colour sheme is an
important convention, to
have a certain set of
colours that run through the
magazine to create a
certain atmosphere or feel.
I wanted to know how well I
had done with this
convention, if it created the
appropriate feel for a
magazine intended for
female, rock lovers.
The responses I got were
all afermative. It seemed
femine which appeals to
my audience but also
edgey, sophisticated and
dark. All great for the
genre.
6. .
I wanted to know if all of
the conventions I used to
appeal to my target
audience were successful.
If my magazine was on a
shelf, would it be obvious
to who would want to buy
it.
It seemed as though I was
successful in appealing to
my audience as it seemed
that the survey showed
they know who it is. Young,
adolescent femles. One
saying it could appeal to
everyone and so have a
secondary audience of
older people or males too
perhaps.
7. .
As the contents page contains a lot of writing and is important to
navigate around the magazine, I wanted to know how well you
would be able to using it.
It looks as though it would be a good page that would certainly be
simple to use, making the magazine easier to read.
8. .
As my contents page already
pushes conventions, having
many photos on one half and
all the text on the lower, I
wanted to know if it had been a
worthwhile risk that would still
mean it was attractive and easy
to read.
This shows that most people
think that it was a good
decision and that it was
excecuted well, that there was
a good balance between text
and images.
9. .
Representation is important in
any magazine and it was
crucial to me that I represented
the people in mine well, that
they weren't too sexualsied or
stereotypical.
It seems no one found that the
models were too sexualised or
objectified to this makes the
representation much better.
Instead they were shown as fun
loving, relatable (crucial for
appealing to an audience) and
cool and edgy which links in
with the genre and so it shows
that the fashion, shot types and
model choices were successful.
10. .
The price is an important component as it determines who can
afford it and will pay for it. I wanted to be sure that the price I had
advertised was good when the amount of content and quality of
stories and articles I had to offer were taken into account and it
seems that 100% of my audience found my pricing to be
appropraite.
