Magazine Audience Feedback

Does my magazine connote a sense of the indie/pop genre?

Yes, I think your magazine does connote this because of the artists that you include, and also the layout and design doesn’t look too much like pop but does kind of meet in the middle for indie/pop.

I think your magazine is more indie than pop but it does contain aspects of pop that contrast well in your magazine.

Yes I think so, however it is more indie in some areas and more pop in others, you could say it isn't very well balanced sometimes.

What pages of my magazine look better and what needs to be improved and why?

The double page spread stands out as the photos go well together and the writing is set out well. You could perhaps lay out another column for the writing on this page, and for the front cover perhaps add something else to it as it looks a bit empty in places, and leave a white background to help it look consistent with the other magazine pages.

I like your contents page as I think it really connotes the genre you have chosen and would really appeal to your target audience. Also it looks really consistent with your double page spread, although I think you need to change the background of your front cover so all of the pages look consistent and like they belong with each other. The images and the text on your contents page are also good, and keep the page filled with detail and information so that it stands out to the reader.

I think your front cover needs to be improved, but also some of the text on the double page spread, such as perhaps highlight some text so that it stands out to your audience more, rather than it being quite plain, which may disinterest your readers, or perhaps not make it eye catching for them in your magazine.

How do the images connote the genre of my magazine?

I think the images connote the genre because the people in your images look happy, and are wearing clothes that represent the genre you are aiming for in your magazine, as there are some clothing that connotes indie and pop also.

I think your images are good, I’m not sure if the layout they’re in works though. Maybe move a few round, other than that, good images.

I think they connote both pop and indie from what the images look like, clothing etc. Also I’d say they could appeal to both genders but perhaps mainly a female audience.

What could I do to improve my magazine overall?

I think to improve your magazine overall perhaps add some more detail to the front cover to help it stand out more, and also change the background to white to keep the magazine pages looking consistent, which will connote a more professional approach to your magazine.

You could make some slight changes to your double page spread for example, highlight some text in a different colour so it stands out more and makes the page look more vibrant and colourful to catch the reader’s eye and make them interested in the article.

I think your front cover is the main thing which could have some improvements doing, such as the other comments have said to add more detail, and maybe add more detail to your double page spread. I also think it would be good if you could add more colour to your contents page.
