Feedback

From the feedback that i got i now know how to improve my first draft magazine, i need to think about not using so many fonts and keep it simple with just a couple. I also need to add page numbers and change the date so its not an actual date just a monthly issue. I need to think about the colour scheme and make sure that you can see that writing that i am putting by the masthead etc

I got told that i have used Ed Sheeran too much, so i am going to try and use different artists and make my own up

I am not using the picture on the cover and on the contents page i am going to use different ones, so one of my feedback comments was to zoom it out because it was not as effective but i will do that with my final photos. 

Drafting and planning

This is a draft of what i wanted the magazine to look like. I did know for sure which person i was using to model for my supporting act or my main star. I  tried to get an idea in my head on what i wanted it to look like like to make sure that my end result would be better. I did many things different in my final one.~

I have a feedback post towards this as i got feedback back which made me know what i needed to improve on and what i didnt.

Feedback

I feel like with the questionnaires that we did about what you would find most likely in a music interview i feel like i have achieved what i needed to do.

I followed this graph making sure that i didn't ask anything that would bore the readers and make them disinterested, so i made sure that the top 5 highest bar graphs are the main questions that got asked.

Organisation

This is my main artist that is going to be the pop star who i have named Eliza Hale on my magazine. These are some photos 3 of the 5 which where took by me. She fits the style i wanted to go for as i have posted on my research with influences like Selena Gomez and Barbara Palvin.

I think using Shannon O'Grady as my model will allow me to reach my target audience of my magazine. She suits the pop / indie look which i am going for.

Supporting act

This is my second supporting act called Lauren Eaborn. I am going to name her in the magazine Bethany Moore as i think it is a good catchy name and with me organizing names earlier on in my Blog i feel i should use one of them so I will.

She fits in with the pop theme. She has the style of some of the girls that i have been posting as influences so this made me think she could be influences to others. 

Supporting act

This is one of my supporting artists named Reiss Brayshaw. I have one girl supporting artist and one boy. I thought if i have a mix of genders then it does not only appeal to one gender then. I made sure that he still fits in with the theme of indie / pop. His name in my magazine is going to be Logan Blake as i think its a stylish name. He does not look like a rapper etc. He suits what my magazine needs. I feel with a pop idol like this he could attract both females and males.

Research

I researched some words into Visual Thesaurus to help me and  give me ideas of what i could call my magazine,  the two that stick out to me are 'Pitch' and 'Melody'

However I didn't think any of these would suit the type of pop / indie genre magazine i am aiming for.

So I came up with the idea to call my magazine 'ARENA'

I thought how i was influenced by Billboard magazine, that because it has all the top artists so I thought if i called it Arena that is where all the top artists and pop stars go so the music then has a theme and would be based on them.
