Questionnaire result graphs.

For my first question, i asked the age of the audience. My result show more people are age 16 or 17,this is because i got my results from students in college. However, this fits my target audience of teenagers and young people.
My second question was what does the magazine title suggest. Most answered different music, under the indie genre, as they recognized that the title is the words indie and difference combined.

My 3rd question was about genre, and what does my magazine cover suggest. The results show that 50% of the audience recognized my intended genre of indie... The other 50% said either rock or pop, which is also a genre for my magazine, as it was an indie pop rock hybrid.
Participants of the questionnaire answered that the colour and image gave them this idea, and that the advertisements for festivals, the model and the models name all connote this indie genre.

For question 5, i asked what makes my cover look professional. The majority answered layout. However, it was a mixed result as 2 people said all, 3 said images and 1 said the colour scheme.
However my next graphs shows that 4 people said the colour scheme made it look less professional, 3 said image. However 3 people said nothing made it look unprofessional.

For question 7, i asked whether my magazine seemed genuine. 9 out of 10 answered yes. I think this is due to it containing the main conventions of a magazine, the title, sub headings, images and tag lines.

For question 8, i asked about my contents page. The majority said it informs. I think this is because its basic, and uses no imperative language to pursuade people to read on. However 4 people chose encourage over inform.

For question and 10 i asked about my article, and whether it seemed like a genuine piece. The majority answered yes, i think this is because it used conversational, colloquial, flowing language. And the colloquialism emphathises with the target audience.
My last question is also about my article, and whether the layout is effective and appropriate, everybody who took the questionnaire said yes. This is because it's easy to read and also uses all the conventions of a professional article: tags line, heading, sub headings, feature image and quotes.

final product

My final cover has kept the same colour scheme i have had throughout my planning. However, changes to my cover from planning is:
The name, my magazine used to be called Indoporock (Indie pop rock) magazine. However, this was changed due to comments from the audience, saying that the name was to hard to understand.
I decided to change my name to Indifference, as it is an indie magazine. Which is classed as different/alternative music. I got my name by combining the 2 words different and indie.
Other changes to my magazine are my original act were a band 'Chasing sunsets'. I decided to change to a solo artist as it was hard to organise a shoot with a lot of people, however, i think having a single person on the cover works well, as it looks more simplistic and doesn't look as crowded.
I think the main picture works well, as i kept my original idea of sunglasses, which make the design look more youthful and fun. Also, as the glasses are red and black, the work well with my chosen colour scheme.
I also like my choice of fonts. They work well together and are the same throughout my magazine, making the pages look like they are all part of the same magazine. The range of fonts are also youthful, as the font i chose for my title connotes american schools, giving the front page the vibrant young feel.
The thing i don't like about my cover is that the background is more beige than white, therefore slightly darkens my page, making it less vibrant and slightly interrupting my colour scheme.

My double page article has all the features of a typical double page spread: heading, sub heading, columns, quotes and pictures. This page follows the same scheme as the rest of the magazine, using the same fonts, colours and the same act. I used the cut out image to make the page look more interesting. As before, it had one page of image, the other of text. Also, the bold quotes make the article easier to read, as the audience can see the main parts and what to read on.

I have used this different layout to create more interest, the images have been made brighter on photoshop to make it look more professional. Also, i made sure my magazine had over 100 pages, to add realism.

Changes to pages.

During the second week, i decided to make changes to my contents page. Adding more images and a new title to make it look more professional. There will be several photographs in the boxes shown, which match up to the contents listings. Again, the page follows my colour scheme of red, white and black.
