With my decided colour scheme and my chosen image, I decided to proceed forward with constructing the cover page of my magazine. After creating a brief look of the cover, I presented this to a small group of girls who were a part of my target audience.
They liked the layout of the cover, but commented ont the fact that the red, the blue and the purple makes the cover seem too colourful, and they wanted more simplicity, which is why they suggested to cut out the blue altogether.
In addition to this, the audience members did not like the use of the brick wall banner at the bottom, as they felt like it was cramping the rest of the page. My target audience said they wanted more space on the cover page, to allow equal emphasis on the image and the content.
There was also some criticism of the image, and how the image would look better in black and white, with the text creating a good pop in making the cover stand out.
Therefore, I have begun editing my cover even further, which has resulted in this new look for my magazine, which I prefer to what I had originally planned, as it suits my target audience more. I have cut out most of the blue, which makes the magazine look more conventional, with only two main colours being used on the cover, so that the page does not look too busy.
Audience members also commented on the content that was already present on the cover page, saying that if my magazine is aimed at a British audience, then it should make that apparent by doing features on British artists, rather than the American artist Lady Gaga, that is already on the cover. Therefore, I changed this to Rita Ora instead.
