Audience feedback

Can you tell the genre of the magazine ?

5/6 people said that they could tell that it was a magazine of the Metal genre because of the mise-en-scene and the colour scheme that I decided to use.

Can you tell the audience of the magazine ?

All of the people asked said that they thought that the audience was teenagers from 14+ to young adults in their late 20's which is the target audience that I had anticipated.

Does it have all of the conventions of a music magazine ?

6/6 people said that it covered and used all of the media conventions for a music magazine however if they would change one thing it would be the font of the magazine. I took this into consideration and tried using other fonts however non of them looked aesthetically pleasing and as good as the one I already had so I just decided to enlarge the font that I had to make it stand out more.

Does it need any changes doing in order to make it better suited to the consumer ?

Some people said to use more images so I made sure that I  added a few more to make it look more like a magazines such as Kerrang! or RockSound that way I couldn't go wrong because they are such big selling magazines. another point i picked up on was using different images on each page which i have now done.

Does it appeal to the target audience and if so why ?

All of the people asked said that it does relate to the target audience because of the model, because he is young they can see this and think "hes my age so this must relate to me" which is the aim that I had hoped to achieve.
