Flat Plan Feedback

In this post I will be discussing the feedback I received on my drafts for my magazine front cover, contents page and double page spread. Below is an image of some of my class members aged 16-17 looking at my drafts and discussing what elements they liked and elements I could improve on, they later wrote some of their comments in the comment section of my blog. This was very helpful as my target audience will be aged 11-25, so I got to have a look at what my target audience think of my magazine concept.    

The feedback I received:

Holly:"I like how simplistic the overall look is as it could make the magazine  look quite professional. The theme of the graphics, such as the infinity sign and crosses, make the magazine suit the genre of Indie" 

Weronika: "I like the graphics and images used but as an indie magazine I think it would look nicer if it was more simplistic" 

From this I  have found that I need to make my layouts more simple and less cluttered  to make the Magazine more Indie and that the graphics and work well with the theme of Indie
