2. Front Cover
After speaking to my audience I have
established that my front cover has too
much text on it and that I need to clear
it a bit. This will allow the picture of the
model to stand out and take prevalence.
In addition they gave me feedback that
it is too dark. I think I will combat this
by lightening the background slightly,
as well as adding some effects to the
model herself.
Other than the darkness the overall
colour scheme had a good response.
They thought it exemplified the key
themes of the genre and that it looked
effective and professional.

3. Contents Page
I chose to use a teal colour as the
motif/accent colour for this page as it is
a very trendy colour and that ties in the
concept that people who are into this
genre of music are fashionable. However
I think there’s too much of it overall, so I
might tie in some of the purple as well.
This is backed up by feedback from my
audience.
I think I need to remove some of the text
on this page also, as it looks too
cluttered and busy. I can improve this
also by varying the font slightly, as I
have used the same one all the way
through and it is fairly flamboyant so the
overall effect is quite strong.

4. Double Page Spread
I like the teal in these pages as
it ties in with the picture of the
model in the mask. My
audience feedback has
prompted me to alter the
layout as it is a bit simple and
linear.
The background of these pages
are too dark still and it is quite
hard to read the text especially
the more cursive fonts.
I think I should rearrange the layout slightly to allow me to put in more text. I can do
this by moving the film reels to the other page and putting the mask shot in the
middle of the right side, alongside the quote. I want to include as much of my
interview as those in real magazines are normally quite long.
