Post production feedback

From my post production feedback that I have received my front cover has proven to be an success with the feedback being positive with my masthead being the main attraction and standing out which is the first thing that will catch my target audience's eyes which would possible draw them into buying my magazine which would beat off competition from other magazines. I agree with my feedback that the masthead is the best thing on the front cover as I was really trying to replicate the urban inner city feel which I think believe I have achieved. Also the white boxes around my cover-lines proved to be a success aswell as it made them stand out more and appeal to my target audience as it was one of the first thing to look at as the white box gave it that important look that was needed to attract my audience.  However the cover-line about Tinie Tempah was quite negative as the feedback came back saying that it was hard to see and that it should of been given a bigger stroke which I totally agree with. If I was to do this front cover again I would only change the Tinie Tempah cover-line as that was the major problem on the front cover other then that I would leave it the same with my rating out of 10 being 8/9.

With my contents page the positive feedback seemed to be focused on the   layout which meant it was easy for my target audience to read and select what they wanted to read along with the consistent colour scheme which I have on all three of my products to keep the professional look throughout. The negative feedback seemed to be about the sub-headings which should of been a different colour to make them stand out and look different. I don't really agree with this as the sub headings are designed to stand out by using my selected colours of white and black however negative feedback is always a positive thing as I know what to do to improve my product more. Personally if I  was to do this again Wouldn't  change anything other then maybe replacing the top left hand picture as the lighting looks poor.

With my double page spread the strengths seem to be the way my writing is laid out and structured which makes it easier for my target audience to read the content on the page and also the image on the second page shows the importance I'm trying to get across with no writing being selected on my subject as it would ruin the image aswell as the dominance I'm trying to create. The quotes on the left hand side of the page was given as negative feedback  as I was told they look too small this could be due to the fact at how the person looked at double page spread  however in reality when the double page spread its printed to the right size then the writing would look normal. Alternatively if I  was to do this again I would change nothing as I think that this is the best out of all three products that I have designed with everything being designed referring to a real life magazine and to get a compliment by having someone say it looks like a real life magazine double page spread,  makes me happy as I know I  have achieved in what I set out to achieve and that's to produce a magazine that was of the highest quality and I feel I have attracted my target  audience with the way I have designed my magazine through the conventions that I have used and personal I feel that the fans of my chosen genre would actually buy my magazine as its packed with gossip, big name stars and exclusives.
