Audience Research 2

After designing the drafts of my magazine's front cover, content page and double page spread I emailed the pictures to everybody in my focus group so I could get some feedback, these are 3 of the emails that I received back:

Hello!

Just had a quick look at the pictures you sent me, I thought the font cover seemed good, pretty much like most other magazine covers/rock magazine covers and all of the content in it is pretty realistic, the girl looks good as she looks like you're going to model her looking quite glamorous which ties in with the rock aspect however I like the way she has a star around her one eye as it makes her look like she stands out well, and goes with the theme!! Thought the 2 page spread was also cool talking about 'drugs sex and rock an roll' as its a original and recognizable phrase however as it's about your 'star' it makes it interesting to read, its cool!

HIyarrr

thought the front cover was cool with the star, just an idea why don't you make her lips bright red and then outline them with black lip liner, would look real cool and rockish! the girl lieing down on the content page looks wicked, unique! just make sure you keep her looking like a rock girl and not to glamerous xxx Phoebi xxx

Hey, the pics are cool, think they will look good! love the double page with the car and the guitar looks very different and unique, make sure he doesn't smile and wears like black stuff to make him look rock! The way the title takes up so much of the page is cool though, and the style of it like it all overlaps is good. on the front the model looks like it would sell although I'd show a bit more of her chest and clothing and make her wear something that looks like it would be in the sort of rock genre. dont really know what else looks fabbbbbbb, Amy x

Planning: First Drafts

Below are the first drafts of my magazine cover, content page and double page spread:

Audience Focus Group

Below is my Focus Group for the magazine, all of the girls fit into the category of my target audience (which can be shown in the blog post Audience Research) They will be the first five people to look at all the different aspects of my magazine and they will tell me what they like/dislike about it, the advise will be reliable as if they all like it, then it’s likely the rest of my target audience will as well as they all have the same interests as my target audience. Below shows some basic information about the girls and a short description of their interests and what thing/music they enjoy. 

Just to confirm, on the 16th December I asked all of the girls through mobile devises whether they will be in my focus group and all of them agreed.
