Since my preliminary task, I have learnt about Photoshop a considerable amount. I have learned that colour schemes are an important factor in the attractiveness of the magazine. In my preliminary task I have used light blue and many pale colours with not very notable variation. In my main task I have made something that is more eye-catching, and things in different colours are large and notable. I have learnt about what conventional features and little details go into a magazine to make it look professional and authentic. My preliminary task has a minimal layout – it hasn’t got many different fonts or conventions. The images and text seem somewhat sparsely placed. My main task includes a lot of magazine conventions such as a splash, a bar-code and an editor’s note. There is also a range of different fonts. The page doesn’t look lacking in content and detail and this makes it more attractive and professional looking.
Audience Feedback
After completing my magazine I devised a questionnaire and asked 20 people what they thought of the magazine. I asked them about the layout and the content and whether it would appeal to them or not. After getting answers from 20 people, these were the recorded results:
This shows that the majority of people are happy with the layout, appearance and the amount of content. While not all of them buy magazines, they still expressed positive feedback with my magazine.
