Audience Feedback Part 2

It will be easier to see the good points about my magazine and also improvements I could make if I separate my audience feedback into each of my 3 pieces and into bullet points.

Front Cover
  • I really like your front cover, this image really stands out and I also like the masthead and how it builds up the L!
  • The picture on the front page shows the audience that this is clearly a rock magazine aimed at teenagers. I love the little rectangles next to the title that look like the volume button!
  • The direct mode of address is effective at drawing the reader's attention. 
  • The house style clearly connotes the Rock genre, as does the model's clothes and make up. 
  • The masthead being behind the image shows that the brand is already popular and established.
  • Your image on the front cover is incredible pose wise and will really attract your target audience to view your magazine! Smart yet fitting for the music.
  • The cover could be improved my adding more cover lines to the blank space on the left.
  • Fill the white space with a very faint picture.
  • Change the style of all of the boxes to look like tattered wood boards.
Contents Page
  • The contents page looks very professional and looks really good how your text is all on one side and the images on the other side that works really well!
  • This contents page clearly shows you have consulted a style model as it uses the conventions of a music magazine's contents page. 
  • I like that you have used 3 different models because it shows variety and that you have organised your photo shoots well. Each model is using direct gaze capturing the attention of the reader.
  • I think the contents page could be improved by adding another page number that shows the page number of the Megan Hulse article on the front cover as this is the focus of your double page spread and the main article in your magazine.
  • The "Subscribe to L!" section breaks the house style but is actually effective because it causes the reader to be drawn to it.
  • Your contents page is exceedingly well set out and I think you can use the black on yellow text in some other places as well!
  • Include an image on the opposite side on your contents page
Double Page Spread
  • Your double page spread is amazing, the text is all in line with each other.
  • Try adding some page numbers at the bottom.
  • The double page spread is laid out well and the different coloured writing really makes the major parts stand out.
  • The double page spread looks quality!
  • I love the double page spread the way the background behind the text highlights Megan.
  • I like the way you have the red line at the top running through the double page spread keeping your colour scheme throughout.
  • The house style is consistent with the rest of the magazine creating a uniform look.
  • The picture relates to the "Wild Child" content of the article, and the image's mode of address again draws the reader's attention.
  • Your double page spread images are once again outstanding! Really show her off as the 'main' feature! Over all amazing!
  • Blend your double page spread a bit more.
General
  • The colours run well throughout the whole magazine.
  • I really like your colour scheme, dark but vibrant. Really looks good.
  • I also like the text too, nice font.
  • Looks really professional, the white, red, black and yellow colour scheme really bounce off each other and go well and you've kept within your house style.
  • I really like all of your pages they all look very professional!
  • The only thing I can say is fill in some white space which i'm sure you were going to do anyway!
  • I love your logo.
