What is your first impression when you see this magazine?
I think this magazine has been put together very well as the bands included on the front page are my most common interests. They are my favorite bands to listen to so I am very interested to read what is on the inside.
Where do you see weaknesses in the magazine and what would you change about this to allow it to appeal to you more?
Firstly I think the band logo on the front page is very blocky and not appealing and would not be representative of most bands I am in to. But other than that I think the front page is very good as the colours are easily seen and I like the effect of the title being behind the models head.
I think an improvement that could be done on the contents page is I think the image does not represent the music genre that well, although the models in the image do the music genre justice I just think the scenery could be more appropriate.
An improvement on the double page spread is the height difference between the models as I believe the male towers over the female a little bit but other than that I think this double page spread really represents the music genre well as the colours and the models follow a really good and appropriate colour scheme.
Oh that’s okay, I agree with you and if I was to perform these tasks again I would be sure to make these improvements to make sure my work was as good as it could have been.
What do you think of the layout of the magazine pages?
I think they are very good as they are very appropriate for the music genre as the colours used are very representative for the music type and the layout is quite mellow and straight forward like the music genre. I think the style is quite laid back, just like the music genre and the artists which perform for the music genre because people like Noel Gallagher are very laid back.
I've included the bands Arctic Monkeys and Oasis on the various pages of my magazine, is this an attraction to you?
It was definitely a plus as it engaged me more with reading the magazine because these are my favorite bands which I am mostly interested in so I was interested in reading about them.
After reading the article, do you believe this is something which would interest you in my magazine and would attract you to reading it?
This would definitely interest me as the music artists I follow and listen to are very private in their social and private lives so reading an interview like that allows me to know more about them and how they form the band and stuff.
Do you think the images used are appropriate to the music genre and do they attract you?
I think the images used are very good as I believe they represent the music genre very well. The image of the male model of the front represents the music genre very well as he is dressed in a style of Alex Turner or Noel Gallagher and his facial expression is very plain but mysterious like the music genre.
I think the image of the 4-man band is good as they appear like a real band who have been photographed like a band like Oasis or the Arctic Monkeys.
I think the image of the female model on her own is good as she looks very serious but she is a pretty girl which catches my attention as I am attracted to her.
I think the image on the double page spread represents a couple which would fall into the indie rock genre but I still think the female model could be nearer his height.
If this magazine were to be made into a real magazine which you could subscribe to every week, would you?
Yeah I think I would because I think everything that has been included applies to me as there is an article on the featuring band on the inside which would interest me if it was one of my favorite indie rock bands. The contents page includes information on the band Oasis, The Smiths, Arctic Monkeys and more which I am interested in reading more about. The magazine attracted me well as I think it presents indie-rock really well and would definitely be something I would be interested in buying.
