Audience Feedback

Person 1
My first impressions of your cover, I enjoy the image, it’s a strong image you have used, a good photo. I believe this is a likely image you’d expect to find on a music magazine.
However, it may be an idea to retake your photo. Despite it being very good, there are small things you could touch up on to gain that all important perfect image.
Apart from that good job!

There is a clear house style which is echoed through your work through the bright, dramatic colour scheme boasting shades of red and yellow. This makes it clear to anyone browsing a shop that it is an indie magazine, and could be open to boys and girls. Although I think the double page spread colours need a little adjusting!

The main title ‘Maize’ I believe could be centred and made bigger so that it spans across the whole of the cover. This would make it appear more realistic.
I think you could scrap the star at the top right corner.
Overall great magazine!


Person 2
Double page spread
I really like the image used it looks like a real magazine photo. Forest back ground makes it look like a photo shoot. The title goes over 2 pages so it looks like a double page spread and it stands out a lot because it is in bold white text on a dark background so it is easily readable and the audience know what the article is about. The layout of the text looks really well presented and again realistic!
Lauren Gray, this is absolutely excellent.


Person 3
The image is a very strong image
You could maybe change the colour of the title as it looks very dangerous!
The genre of the magazine stands out very well
Once again the image is really good, he is a good match for your indie style
I like how you've included page number and the name of the magazine and website
The image looks very professional, Excellent!
The style of the heading relates well with the style, its really goooood
