Rate out of 10 on the colour scheme of red, black and white for a rock magazine (with an additional colour of either electric blue, bright yellow or lime green)
From the total of 15 people who completed my magazine, the majority thought that the colour scheme of red, black and white with a pop of colour would be a good choice for the rock magazine I am going to be producing, which suggests that I have chosen the right colour scheme to match my genre.
Electric blue | 12 |
Lime green | 1 |
Bright yellow | 2 |
When I asked the people who completed the questionnaire I asked them which colour out of electric blue, lime green or bright yellow would be a good additional colour to be used with the base colours scheme and the majority have said electric blue. This means that I will be using electric blue on the cover, contents and double page spread; it is also suitable for my target audience(teenage to young adult males) as it is a masculine colour.
What is your opinion on using a mid-shot for the central image of the front cover?
Responses were:
· Good
· Ok as you are able to see the person
· I like the idea of a mid-shot
· I think you should be able to see the whole of the artist
· This sounds like a great idea because it will really grab the audience's attention
· Yeah
· Not sure
· I think i would be suitable for the fron cover
· Ok
From the responses I got from the questionnaire, the majority of them have said that it would be a good angle for the front cover which is how I planned, there was one person who said that they would prefer seeing the whole of the artist, this option can be put into consideration when doing the photography and depending on how good the pictures are, I will choose.
Do you prefer having just one banner on the front cover or two?
9 out of 15 thought that it would be a good idea just to have one banner on the front cover, from the draft pages, two of my designs only has one banner and the third one had two (one on the top and one at the bottom), from the results of this questionnaire it suggests to me I should stick with only one.
Do you prefer having the colum of the contents page on the left or right hand side?
From the majority of the people who completed my questionnaire, the majority would prefer having the contents column on the left hand side, this is how I planned for most of my drafts as we read from left to right, this will make it the first thing to be read within the page
Which story/article do you prefer?
12 out of 15 thought that the story of how someone got famous would be a better choice compared to someone doing from an acting career to music, I did a draft for both of them but as the first one was more popular, I will develop the draft a little further for my final magazine.
What is your opinion on the name of the magazine? (Name-Generation, Slogan-the year of music)?
Responses were:
· Good
· Okay
· I like it
· Should be catchy but clear as to what it's about
· Sounds very catchy and imaginative
· Good title
· Catchy
· Great
· Really good, and unique
· Suitable
The majority of the responses I got back for the idea of my magazine name were good as they thought it would be catchy and clear to what it’s about and imaginative, they also thought it is suitable and unique; this shows that my chose of name for my music magazine should work well.
Do you like the use of pull quotes and inserts throughout the cover, contents page and double page spread?
All of the people who completed my questionnaire thought that having pull quotes and inserts on the front cover, contents page and double page spread will be a good idea, I planned it in some of my draft pages, this will give the magazine a consistent look from the beginning and also give the feel of fullness which suggests there is going to be a lot within the magazine.
Do you think the contents page should have a balance of pictures as well as text?
14 out of 15 people thought that the magazine contents page should have a balance of pictures as well as text; this was planned in some of my draft pages as I did not want to give the page to much text as it is not the most appealing thing for the target audience I am aiming for.
Would you prefer to have more than one picture on the double page spread or just one?
10 out of 15 people thought that the magazine double page spread should have more than one picture on it; this will make the page look more interesting, this will also suit the draft pages I have already planned and it is similar to the existing magazine.
Would you prefer the double page spread to have...
10 out of 15 people thought that having pictures on both of the pages would be effective, though in my drafts I mainly had one photo on one page and text on the other I am going to alter it a little bit when it comes to making it to see how it fits within the page, if not I am going to stick with the drafts I have designed.
