Audience Feedback - Southbank Location

The location of Southbank in Central London is to be a considered location, alongside the backdrop for the cover picture. The images taken in this location will be used for the DPS and nearby surroundings in Central London can also be taken advantage of, and any other images can be incorporated into the contents page, and possibly in any side-banners that require extra pictures. 

We asked a small group of girls, after showing them images of the skatepark, why they think that this would be a good location to use for the DPS. They said that the location is bright and colourful, but also looks quite edgy, and they look for dynamic presentations of females in music magazines that they read. Being a female audience, they would hope to see a sense of style being presented in these images, along with an edgy look.
Other girls liked our location because it suits our intended genre of Pop/Rock and the colours will pop and stand out to them, as they usually look for fun colours and a sense of excitement.

The bright, exciting colours elicit a fascination from these young people that were asked about the images, and so by having this on the DPS, it would be very eye-catching and would appeal to the audience straight away. For this reason, we may use an image from this photoshoot on the contents page, as a preview, so that the audience can build up to this feature effectively. 

As mentioned in the pitch, the question of whether the graffiti walls will draw attention away from the model was asked, but if the costumes are planned accordingly and the wall where we take the pictures is chosen specifically, then there will be no problem in our images, and a good contrast will be created with the costume and the wall.
