2. 1) What Are Your First/Initial Comments On My Magazine?“It seems very modern. The font and layout are going for the 'angry' sort of vibe, which fits the themes of modern metal .”“whoa he looks mean lol. looks like a nice clean simple layout”“you can tell that it’s a metal mag”“Good picture on the front cover, full A4 shot always works, good choice of font for the title and headlines, colour scheme works well together, pictures you have chosen decent with good profile shots, keep the profile shot in the corner on pg3 that works well.”“When i first saw the cover, i thought "wow, this looks really good”“Very good photography used here; I like the picture of the model. You can tell that it’s a Metal magazine.”

3. 2) Is There Anything You Don’t Like Or Would Change About The Magazine?“Probably make the layout and font seem a little less 'aggressive‘”“I think that the font for the articles is a little hard on the eyes.
