Products

These are my three products with small changes undertaken such as a slight change in font to make reading clearer or punctuation changes. I made changes to the font after receiving feedback from my target audience saying the font was to bold to read clearly, or to stand out in a shop. Also when my targeting audience were looking over my three products mistakes were picked up which would need changing before my magazine was realsed to the public.

Feedback On Products.

Feedback from target audience:
Leanne: Masthead works well as it is large and bold standing out on the page which will be good for attracting buyers when the magazine is sold.
Charl: The colours are bright and bold which I believe fits well with your indie theme. The splash has great benefits from the orange included as it shows that the story has importance.
Charl U: I love how the background fits around the model as if the spot is shining upon her. I also like how other stories over lap the the model but in a subtle way so there is not to big of a distraction from the main story.
Beth:  The magazine has developed over your coursework and clear changes have been made to such things as tour front cover. The key feature which I find most appealing as a member of your target audience is the range of colours you have used.
Jason:  The magazine is very appealing, however I believe that the cover may be more appealing to women rather than males. I would still read the magazine due to the history of the music involved.
Rosie:  The overall magazine appeals to me and the cover story would grab my attention. 

Leanne:  I like how your masthead font is continued through to the contents page, it allows your magazine to look consistent.  
Charl: I found pages in the magazine easy to find due to the breakdown in your contents and the colour scheme works as well on the contents as the front cover.
Charl U: A key feature which stood out to me was the bold page numbers which were also labelled on the front cover, this was really effective. 
Beth: I love the unique picture on your contents this works really well. 
Jason: I like how you have carried an image of the front cover through to the contents page.
Rosie: I like the overall layout of your contents page. A key feature which I do like on your page is the different choice of image. 

Leanne: I believe the most effective piece on this page is your title across the top of the page really appeals to me.
Charl: I love how you have enlarged quote it lets me have a sneak peak to the full story. 
Charl U: I like how you have two images instead of just one large image it breaks the page up.
Beth: I love how the page is split into two different colours allows the story and the image separate. 
Jason: I believe the page numbers are really effective and stand out clearly.
Rosie:  Love the arrow pointing out the continued story. And the separating of the text makes the story really easy to read.

Front cover
I have made a few changes to my front cover in order to make the magazine look professional. First of all I added a faded effect to the block background this was to break down the block colour. By having a lighter colour in the centre it also allows focus to be added on the cover  shot. I also decided to add more variation of colour this is so the purple theme of the magazine does not become bland and boring.

Contents Page
With my contents page I have once again changed the background colour in order to break up block colours. I have also made the text smaller in order to make the magazine look more realistic, I also decided to break my contents up into headings so pages are easier to find for readers. And a final feature I included was a image of my front cover which I then labeled up with page number so key pages are easy to find.

Double page spread
With my double page spread I believe my last attempts were really unprofessional with a lack of colours and a lot of open space. Another major issue was the size of the text and how it was unrealistic for a professional magazine. So therefore I made the size of my text smaller I also again introduced shades of orange to brighten up my magazine, this also allowed the magazine to look less bland. I also added page numbers as these were missing from other copies of my magazine.

Double page spread with adjustments

This is my double page spread with the adjustments made which I needed to do.
