Audience feedback and evaluation of college magazine

What went well the comments that I have received on my blog were mostly positive, however, I did receive positive feedback. Personally, I think that my magazine is good for a primary attempt because I tried to incorporate typical conventions of a college magazine. Also, it was well tailored to my target audience of 16+ (yr. 12 to 13).

I used Photoshop to create my college magazine because the features allow me to add and distort the images that I have used. the different fonts and colours allowed me to make my cover page look more eye-catching

The feedback I got for my cover and content page was that the layout for the contents page looks professional. In addition “I liked the way you chose different fonts, which makes it more attractive.” Another feedback I received was “I like the layout of your front covers it look really professional and colourful. However to improve you should have kept to a simple colour scheme as you used many different colours. Also you should change the colour of the purple writing as you can't really read it.” The final feedback I received was “I like you layout on your Front cover and Contents page. It's eye-catching and i love the top part of the front cover, it looks unique and professional. Using two images on the contents page and putting the page number is clever, well done.”

What went well- at first glance of my cover page it looks very professional and suitable for a college magazine. This being because the cover star is very reliable and you can tell that she goes LSC. Also the use of the black vector to polish the appearance of the magazine which ties the whole colour scheme together.

Additionally, for the content page a similar affect has been used to continue the colour scheme created on the front cover. Also the use of pictures is easily identifiable of where they have been taken in the college. I have only listed main features that will be in the magazine as in other real magazines that I have researched.

I liked that my magazine is available on social media sites that people can look at and follow when it comes the LSC Magazine. These platforms are important because teenagers are more likely to view something on their phone and also it is more convenient. Therefore, by having the social media websites on the front cover it shows that it will directly be accessible for the target audience.  

What possible improvements I could make From the feedback and for me personally, the two key points for development when producing my magazine is one, I would brighten up the content page with more pictures and fonts because it doesn’t have the same effect as the cover page.

 Two, I would change the composition of my cover page because it still looks quite armature and not like a real magazine, also change the font and colour to make it easier to read and more eye-catching.
