Here, i have included my final magazine contents page design. To ensure that this was a page that would attract my specified target audience i took out a peer assessments from selected outside people that would be found within my target audience.
Here were the results:
+
+
- "Looks very professional and well constructed"
- "Its got very good balance and the ratio between the text and the images is very proportioned"
- "I love the sense of personalization that the scanned in signature provides"
- "The house style is very similar to the other pages and therefore, connotes 'Britpop' music and also appears professional and attractive"
- "I really like the lines that are used to break up the text on the right of the page, it provides structure and professionalism"
-
- "I dont really like the different fonts used for the page numbers shown for each image, the '73' needs to be bold"
- " I don't really like the red text used for the editorial profile"
- "The use of multiple images, as apposed to one single main image, makes the page look quite busy and crowded"
In conclusion, i have found my audience feedback very useful and i plan to consider everything that my target audience suggested as i feel there opinions are very important if i am to create a successful page that appeals to my specified target audience. Overall though, i am very pleased with my contents page final design. It has shown my newly developed understanding of the importance of magazine forms and conventions that are typically used throughout many other similar, professional and well established products found within the market place. It too related directly to my target audience as i have ensured i kept within a specific house style and theme, used throughout my additional two products, front cover page and double page spread.
