Final Time Management Post

I HAVE DONE!!!!!! I have posted my final pages after developing and tweaking them, along with screen shots of my developments. I am happy now, as all I need to do is my evaluation.

Final Pages

Development of my Magazine Pages After Feedback

Audience Feedback

These are the pages that I showed my audience in the my audience feedback.

Audience Feedback Questions

1. Does my front cover/contents page/double page spread appeal to you, as a member of my target audience? Why/why not? How?

2. Do you think you would be friends with the model(s)? Why/why not?

3. What do you feel about the chosen colour scheme?

4. What do you feel about my choice of image(s)?

5. Do you have any criticisms? If so, what?

Male, 18 years old.

Front Cover

He seemed to like my front cover but said that the blue and yellow text are possibly too much of a contrast, so maybe I should either change the colour or have more of it around. However, others liked the difference.












Contents Page


Again, the page seemed to appeal to him. He told me he liked the layout but would maybe have another image or something to fill the gap on the right hand side. I am definitely considering this but using my research, a lot of magazines that i analysed do only have one image.











Double Page Spread


I found that he liked my double page spread; he said that the images worked well. Unfortunately, he couldn't see the smaller images that well, so I may have to sort that out. He also said that I should maybe I should have the models smiling more.

Male, 17, Female 17, Male, 16

Front Cover

Generally, they liked my front cover and made comments that I hoped for and were similar to what you would find in a magazine, like the ones I researched. However, they did say that I could maybe adjust the barcode, in order for it to fit better.

Contents Page

Like my front cover, my contents page seemed to appeal to them. They found that the way it was set out worked well; I took this layout from an issue of Q magazine. One criticism was that i should move some text, so that it doesn't conceal the image.










Double Page Spread

Again, they liked it and said that the they felt the images worked well. They didn't actually give me anything to improve on for this, other than the fact that I could have some pull-quotes to split up the article.

My second set of videos are not the best quality, as the sound is quite poor and the video is glitchy. However, they are good enough to hear what they are saying, so they are fine. Unfortunately, you often have to rely on technology and it doesn't always work to the standard you would hope.

Developed Audience Profile

My audience are every day youths,
who enjoy music; my target audience is 14-24 year olds, so students and then a little bit older.

They are most likely to be in the C1, C2, D and E demographic groups, as they are students or younger people with lower incomes.

My audience will be explorers, aspirers and maybe, although my magazine is quite mainstream, individualists.

Time Management Post

At this point, I am doing pretty well. I have just over a week to get some audience feedback and develop my audience profile. That should also leave me time to tweak my work a little as well.

Double Page Spread

Time Management Post

I have completed both my contents page and front cover, so this shows that I have caught up. I just need to complete my double page spread and then evaluate the task. I am now feeling more confident.
