This is my initial magazine front cover which I have produced on InDesign. So far I feel it is going well but I feel that I could improve it further, which I intend to do so, which is why I chose to get some audience feedback my making a survey and getting a collection of people to take part in it.
I asked several questions that would help me to make improvements to my magazine front cover as well as leaving a section where they could suggest their own ideas which was helpful as it gave me more ideas to develop.
Questions I asked were:
-Does my magazine front cover look like a conventional magazine front cover?
-Does the picture work well?
-Would this magazine appeal to you if you saw it in the shops?
-Is it clear what the main story is?
-Do you like the colours used?
-Would you include a background?
-Is there anything you would like to see included which isn't
-Any suggestions, ideas and comments?
From asking these questions it allows me to get enough feedback to improve my magazine front cover to make it something which is more appealing to my audience. From the feedback I noticed that one of the main improvements I need to make is how the picture is placed. A lot of my feedback suggested moving it into the centre more, making it bigger so that the picture fitted the page, instead of being placed more randomly, but so I still keep to the 2/3 rule. Some other comments also suggested that I make it less busy, especially around the picture, making sure that some of the writing didn't get onto the picture, as they felt that the writing should be short, simple and quick to read.
