Audience Response Questionnaire


Questionnaire results

Feedback 1
1. I like the colour scheme on all the pages; it makes it more sophisticated and professional. I like the front page, with all the pictures on it. All the pages look professional and the Double Page Spread looks likes it’s properly from a magazine.
2. I think that more colours on the contents page would be helpful, because it keeps in with the colour scheme, but maybe the colour on the pictures could help it stand out Description: http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/images/blank.gif

To practise my editing skills the aim for this task was to try to recreate the Kerrang magazine using the Photoshop software. On the left you can see the magazine cover I was trying to replicate and on the left is my attempt at making it look as similar as possible.

Planning the College Magazine

In this image you can see the contents ideas that I came up with for my magazine. Also the magazine names i thought were best appropriate for a college magazine.

This image is a list of features that are seen in a magazine. I wrote all the features out so that i could use some of them when coming to designing my magazine.

Sketches of Front Cover and Content Layout

 This is a rough layout of my main cover. I have decided to put the masthead in its usual place at the top of the page were it is noticeable with the issue number. I have centered my cover star so that i can put information around it as well as other images so it is all spread out. I have put a barcode at the bottom of the page because it is more suitable there. And i have added a quotation to go along with the cover star to give an positive opinion of the college which the readers will pick up on.

I have added a few details on the content but not revealing too much so that the reader is encouraged to read it, as well as a puff that gets the readers attention and further encourages them to read it.


  
 

This is a rough layout of my contents page. Again the masthead is at the top of the page to inform the reader of the aim of the page. I also have included the information of the contents broken up into subheadings so that there is not too much information. Also to make the contents more subtle, i have included a series of images as well as an exclusive story that aims to interest the reader to read the magazine.
