Final Music Magazine

From the feedback which I got from the front cover, they said that they were able to see that it was a indie music magazine, but that I could have used the free space better. But that it was eye catching and looked like a professional music magazine. My target audience explained that it suited them as I used the conventions in the correct way and that they would buy the magazine.

The feedback which I got from my contents page showed that they were happy with the content for the given price and was easy to read. They said that the image looked professional and the smaller images made it look like other existing music magazines. However, they also said that the colour background which I chose didn't quite fit in the indie genre and that it needed to be changed.

Feedback which I recieved from the double page spread told me that they were happy with what it looked like. That the layout was easy to understand and looked like it could be found in exising music magazine, Q. They said that I used the conventions properly and included everything needed on a double page spread and said that it went along with my genre and appealed to my target audience.

When creating my contents page this is what it looked like, but then I realised that I didn't have any 'features' and 'regulars' so I went back and added them in. This is so I would get more marks as most music magazines have those headings on their contents pages.

When I finished my double page spread I didn't think about the crease line in the middle where the fold will be, so I had to move my article and photo around so I would be better and so the readers will be able to read the article without it clashing with the fold.
