Final Double Page Spread - Haydn Macmaster

This is my Final Double Page Spread for my magazine
On Wednesday 21st of March my class was asked to give feedback on each others magazine. After the feedback was given back to me I decided to post it on blogger to show that I am taking in the feedback my peers had given me and using it to create a better Magazine than it already is. Also knowing that my peers believe that my Magazine has an audience of rockers is good as this is what my Magazine aims for as its target audience.

Here is three of my peers feedback they gave me on my Magazine:

Millie:  
Q1: Who do you think the audience is for this magazine? How did you arrive at this idea?
A: Rock Fans, they way they are dressed in the images and the font used on the Magazine.

Q2: What genre is this music magazine? What is it about the cover which gives you this impression?
A: Rock, the impression of rock that is given to me is by the use of the colours black and white, the use of the guitar in the images, and the title itself 'Dr.Rock'

Q6: Are the images suitable for the content? Do they excite interest and provide visual clues for the reader?
A: the artists are good indicators and I like the plain grey serious background to keep that rock feel to the magazine.I liked the use of the guitar in the image as well.

Q10: If you were asked to suggest a way to improve this, what would you say?
A: The font is difficult to read on the artists t-shirt, try not to expand and compress the images too much.

Dominic: 
Q1: Who do you think the audience is for this magazine? How did you arrive at this idea?
A: The audience is aged between 16-22 mostly into rock music, and the name of the magazine made me arrive at the idea of the audience for this magazine.

Q2: What genre is this music magazine? What is it about the cover which gives you this impression?
A: Rock...

Q6: Are the images suitable for the content? Do they excite interest and provide visual clues for the reader?
A: Yeah, include drums and instruments in the images which the readers may also play.

Laura:
Q1: Who do you think the audience is for this magazine? How did you arrive at this idea?
A: I think the audience for this magazine is you people aged 16-24, that enjoy rock/indie music.

Q2: What genre is this music magazine? What is it about the cover which gives you this impression?
A: Rock is the genre of the magazine, the colours of the magazine also help to prove the genre of the magazine. also the font used on this front cover fits in with the genre of the magazine. 


From this feedback I can now start to improve on my magazine and also the feedback tells me that i am on the right track for a Rock genre magazine :)
