The document summarizes the results of a questionnaire given to 10 males about a music magazine. Most respondents liked the color scheme and cover images but found the main cover image boring. They thought the contents page was easy to follow but the main image was too small. While the double page spread looked professional, the main image was too similar to the cover. Respondents felt the overall production was professional with consistent colors, good content, and striking images, and that the magazine could compete with other music publications and fit in with the indie/rock genre.
