Final Design of Double Page Spread

From my 'Facebook Focus Group feedback', one person found that I had asked the same question twice in my 'Top Five Randoms' interview. I changed question two from 'Do you like Simon Cowell?' to 'Which animal would you be?' I have also changed the position of the CD, added another drop cap and have put in a quote.

Final Design of Contents Page

For my Final Design I decided to add my magazine's masthead in the bottom right hand corner, this helps to create a continuity with my double page spread as well.

Time Management Update

This week I am working on my double page spread and will gain audience feedback from a focus group around the same age as my target audience for my music magazine. This week I will need to have finished all the pages of my magazine and make sure that all my screen shots have been analysed and posted. I am up to date with my magazine but need to finish my screenshots for my contents page and double page spread. I haven't done this as I have been focusing on gaining all my audience feedback before the deadline.

Focus Group Feedback: Video

I got feedback from someone who would fall in my target audience age bracket. The person said that my images were suitable for my double page spread as they connoted the pop genre and they were interesting. Also she said that there was continuity within my magazine, due to the colour scheme resembling the other pages and the fonts. She also said that the image to text ratio was correct as there wasn't too much text to read. It makes it look less daunting. She said the target audience was teenagers but wasn't sure on an age bracket. Finally, she said that my image connoted a femininity and a pop genre.
