Now that I have completed my magazine, I thought it would be a good idea to get feedback from my target audience. I gathered 7 individuals who I considered to be my target audience and spoke to them about my magazine. I handed out each part of my magazine separately and encouraged them to discuss my magazine, pointing out the things they liked and things they felt I could improve on. Whilst filming my feedback, I discovered several things about my magazine which my target audience either hadn’t liked or felt I could improve on, although overall I received positive feedback. It had been pointed out that my audience didn’t like alternative front cover as much as the original as they didn’t feel the image stood out enough in comparison, however they did agree that the image fit the indie genre better. Based on the feedback on the front covers I have decided to keep my magazine as a double cover issue, because like my audience pointed out, both front covers offers something different- either rock or indie, which is the genre of my magazine. Overall I found the feedback very useful as I realised my magazine appealed to my target audience.

Album cover
On my third double page spread i had a gap at the bottom which needed filling, so i looked at some music magazines such as Kerrang and NME for inspiration of what to put there. I decided to do a review of the artists upcoming album. I noticed when magazines did this they included a copy of the album cover, so that audiences could see what the album looked like, as this not only appears on album cover but is also on mobiles and ipods as the album artwork. I looked at album covers but other artists in the genre such as Florence and the Machine, from this i decided to keep my album cover simple with the main focus on the artists. I included this on the double page spread along with the review of the album.
