Audience feedback

I asked a typical reader (a 17 year old girl who is into bands) what she though about my magazine and here is what she said.

Front cover

It fits the genre very well- good colour scheme
easy to follow and read
put the year on the date
I really like it and would read it

Contents

I like how the theme is the same and clearly from the same magazine- same house style
not too much- nicley spread out
boring font
brand logo is a bit small

Doube page spread

nicely layed out- not too much to take in
I like the pull quotes
questions and answers are easy to differentiate
logo is a bit small

Mrs D

Your drafts are really strong Maddie. Well done. You need to think about how you are using font size and colour. Also your branding needs to be consistent regarding your title - use your logo to help you create this brand. Contents is your weakest page so far. Check layout design and range of font size- go back to RMAs to help you.

Mrs D

Well done for hitting your deadline. Your house style and branding is good. Your masthead of your front cover doesn't really convey genre/audience and you need to work on font sizes of your cover lines. The most work needs to be done on your contents. It is looking a bit thin.
