Audience's evaluation

Here is a survey I have asked people to fill out, which I have shared on Facebook along with screenshots of my magazine:

Here are the answers:

"I think that there is good continuation between the three sections in terms of style and content. There is a good continuation of colour and content between the pages. i think it is well representative of the indie genre with the style of writing and content, though i would perhaps expect more grunge style colours and a more indie and more shocking image of ella doshi on the double page spread. I think the pages are well representative of a shop bought music magazine."

"Cover image - very appealing and inviting , the photo makes you want to look inside the magazine and pick it up ,it gives the kind of Indie appearance , it is well presented and the format makes the most of space on the front cover contents page -The colour combination works very well it is not over the top yet neat and easy to read The use of space is very good and the font size is just the right size for the Ella Doshi interview - The interview is very interesting and full of intersting and exciting questions and facts , I really like thee way that the image surrounds the text , it is almost as if it is leading and drawing you into the interview , I love the colour coordination in the image as well as it catches your eye. The continuation between the 3 pages is very good , the colours follow on and the greens on the 3rd page really catch your eye , it really draws you in and makes you want to read more. I like the border around the edges of the pages as it really defines the text and images and makes it look very neat and professional. I really like the fonts used as there is a variey yet they still all look good and fit together."

"I like the colour scheme and think that it looks very eye catching, especially having the caption on the cover in the same colour as Ella Doshi's jacket. There is good continuity as the sections are all in similar colours with similar fonts, and especially as the artist on the third page is the same as the one on the front cover. The interview is very realistic, but it's also funny and entertaining. If there was one thing I think could be improved is to change the font at the bottom of the front cover saying "Mystery Jets" etc. I also think the contents page article is very realistic, and I liked the photo that went with it. Overall, very good and profesional!"
