ON MY FRONT COVER WHAT CATCHES YOUR ATTENTION FIRST AND HOW?
From this question one of the most common answers was the main sell line ‘NEWBIE’. The reason for this was because it has been placed near the centre of the front cover and it has been written in a bright, large font which makes it stand out. The other most common answer was the model (main image), as she takes up the majority of space on the cover so “she is the first thing that I see on the page because it is the largest thing”.

IF YOU SAW THIS MAGAZINE IN A SHOP WHAT GENRE WOULD YOU SAY IT IS AND HOW CAN YOU TELL?
The common answer from this question was that it is a pop music magazine. They said it was a pop magazine because of the house style; this is because of the colours that were used on the front cover and throughout the magazine. It was also said that it is pop because of the main image; the reason for this is because it is a young artist on the cover and they are the generation that are more interested in pop music.

HOW DO YOU THINK MY MAGAZINE REPRESENTS A VARIETY OF SOCIAL GROUPS?
It will be appealing to young teenagers because they are the age group that buy pop music magazines; this is because they want to know the latest gossip about celebrities and want to know what music is in the charts. It can also be appealing to the category of fan girls because of some of the content listed on the front cover; however the main story might not be as appealing to them because it is about somebody that they don’t know, so this could put somebody off buying the issue. It will also be appealing to the trendy’s and young teenagers because they always want to wear the latest fashion as it makes them feel good about themselves. Overall the magazine represents a variety of social groups because there seems to be something that appeals to my target audience.
Question 3 Results
Yes/Very WellNo/Not so good
ON MY CONTENTS PAGE WOULD YOU SAY THAT THE MODELS AND OUTFOTS ARE APPROPRIATE FOR MY TARGET AUDIENCE AND WHY?
In the question the overall answer was ‘yes’ one of the reasons for this is that the image does relate to the sell line because the image was taken in autumn so it highlights the season and the clothing that people wear in this season. Another reason was because they are a similar age to the target audience which makes this content more relatable because they will be wearing similar clothes to the people who buy the magazine.
Question 4 Results
Yes
FOR THE TEXT ON MY FRONT PAGE DO YOU THINK THAT IT IS EASY TO READ AND WHY?
The results that I got for this question were 50/50 as some found it easy to read but others found it harder. The ones that found it easy to read said that the text is at a suitable size because you are able to read it from a distance, and the colour is the right shade. This is important because sometimes bright colours are harder to read because of the brightness and then sometimes dark colours are hard to see, depending on the background. However the text over the main image is to dark for some people to read, so they need to look much closer than they should do. Also on some of the sell lines the black outline should be made thinner because it might make the text stand out more because they will then have more colour.
ACROSS ALL 4 PAGES WHAT IMPROVEMENTS WOULD YOU MAKE?
For this question I got mixed answers. One of the improvements is to add some more images on to the front cover; the reason for this is because posters have been mentioned on the cover so it would be good to actually see some, also to link in with the sell lines just like the leaves with the Autumn Style. Another improvement would be to move the pull quote down because there is a line from the previous question underneath. It was also said that the paint splats should be made a bit light/dimmer because they are distracting underneath the text on the double page spread.
