Audience feedback

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/52RR53Q

Here is my survey in which I have asked people to fill out giving me audience feedback, I hope that this gives me effective feedback as the people answering will be anonymous and therefore wont feel bias to answering in a certain way which will ensure correct results, from the results I will gain I will be able to understand different peoples opinions on the music magazine industry helping to suggest how well my magazine would of been in comparison to other magazines.


Production diary - 03/02/14

Today is the day before our deadline for our magazines, its not the final thing but everything needs to be done so today is all about ensuring all blog posts are completed and my magazine is final and everything which should be completed on it is done.

Starting the day with doing my 'cover lines' suggesting reasoning for why I have produced the cover lines which i have - doing this as a powerpoint presentation hoping to keep it intesting and engaging for my audience. Next carrying on with my magazine making sure every detail is done and finishing off my front cover which I was not 100% happy with before.

Drafting #2





   Here is my next process to my final piece of work being completed, I have changed the front cover by adding more writing on such as '16 page gig blow out' I felt as if the left side didn’t have enough writing on and looked boring so adding this has also helped to engage readers to my magazine as my target audience are involved in gigs and it’s a good way of promoting the magazine. I also made some changes too the artists names on the right underlining the main stars as I felt it would draw more attention to them making them show more importance. Following on to the contents page I added a subscribe and twitter box - feeling like this would show my connection to my audience as I have established their wants from a magazine. My double page spread I have highlighted important bits of text which I feel which catch the eye of my reader whilst adding the date of my magazine release and page number at the bottom helping the reader get through the magazine easier.

Model Release



This shows evidence of that my model Ella agrees to do my photo shoot for me, which has allowed me to create my magazine from the photos taken off her. By asking Ella to sign the following sheet it ensures she is fully comfortable with doing my photo shoot and is not bothered about the images being used for my magazine - it states if a re-shoot is needed that Ella is happy to get involved.

Double page spread 2 Image



Here I have shown the transformation in which I have created from the start of my photo to the photo I am now using on my double page spread image collage, along with the other range of photos I used I wanted to ensure my collage wouldn’t just be all the same photos mixed together but a variety of images in different styles - here my image is in black and white however I wanted to show of the skills of Photoshop and that you can do more than just transform the image to black and white - enhancing Ella's lip to me a bright red colour has signified more detail to the image making it stand out more to the image.
