Questionaire about my initial magazine.

Questionnaire

I will use the answers to help deduce the changes I need to make to my designs. I have chosen to use my questionnaire on somebody who I know read MOJO, one of the magazines I analysed and based my own designs around.

What do you think of the overall design of my magazine?

I think the idea’s and themes of the magazine are both well used and well expressed, however I think the design and precision of the magazine could be worked on.

Do you think the target audience is catered for adequately?

In some places, I think that there could be more research and depth in to the content of the magazine. I think the majority of the language used is used well and this transmits into a easy and enjoyable read for the target audience.

What do you think about the colour scheme? Do you think it should be altered in any way?

The use of colour is suitable and I think both the yellow and red work well together. However, I think they have been used too much and that this is not typical of a real magazine. I think this could be a vital change needed to create a better looking magazine.

Do you think the text reflects the target audience appropriately?

Yes, I think the use of text and language is good. The mix of both colloquial and standard English is a good representation of the audience and are both used effectively. I think a more in-depth approach to other artists suitable to the magazine and audience would be a good idea.

Are the photos recognisable in representing a young and up-coming artist?

Yes, I think the image suggests an indie feel and expresses traits of a young busker looking for fame. I think this is a good aspect to build on as many of the readers of magazines such as Q and MOJO are also interested in new music.

Overall is there any other improvements you feel my magazine would significantly benefit from?

I think that a breach in the current styles would advantage the design and the font in the double page is slightly unreadable and packed into a small area, if both these issues were addressed I feel the magazine would have more potential.
