Audience Feedback

I asked 10 people 7 questions about my final piece in my media project. Below is the results of my audience feedback, there is lots of different answers and all of which are interesting.

The majority of the answers were similar in that the title suggests a music magazine, its young, trendy, modern and interesting. I generally found with the results that the people I asked found it easy to understand that the magazine was focusing on a mixed genre of music, they all said it was well layed out on a whole but in some places for example the double page spread its maybe a bit plain and not enough there. The general comments on the front cover was that it was very genuine and in some cases the comments say it could be mistaken for a real music magazine. In terms of the contents page the most common answer is that it informs all the information that it needs to and makes some want to read on. The article and the double page spread got similar comments also they were along the lines of its set out great and makes you want to read it, it reads like an article but there are grammar mistakes.

Double Page Spread

1st Draft of Article

This is the first draft of my article for my double page spread. 

Equipment and Technology

In order to plan up and create my final piece I will be using many different pieces of apparatus including the lighting studio based at college and sony a200 digital camera to catch great shots. I am also going to use some new technology to me in the form of Photoshop and Indesign. I find both of these programmes relatively easy to use and understand them to a point at where I can get by and create a good piece of work. Below are some pictures of these prorammes and Equipment.

Mock Ups

Here are my mock ups of what I would like the layout of my magazine pages to look like. 

Front Page

This is a layout of my front cover I am going to have close up mid shot of my artist,but no other images. It will have the title in the top left corner, with the web address and price on the right hand side. under the title is the date and below that will have some kind of news, as will the other side of the page below the price there will be two type of news about what is featured inside the magazine. Along the bottom of the page will be a banner almost featuring the artists that are covered in the magazine that week.

Contents page

This is the mock up of my contents page, I have tried to keep it nice and simple and to the point. The title is at the top of the page with pictures of the artists who are featured down the right. On the left running all the way down will be the Features and list who is in the magazine, what pages and what the story is about.

Double Page spread 

This is my double page spread mock up, I have done the same here as what I have done with my contents page I have got straight to the point with the picture of my artist on the left hand side of the page taking up the majority of the page. Then with my article on the right hand side, it is simple but easy to read and understand.
