Audience Feedback


This is some of my audience feedback:


 "I think the new version of the magazine is a lot more inviting than the first one created. I think the use of the colour scheme; the yellow really helps emphasis the purply pink tint on the main image.
My favourite page has to be both the front cover and the contents page; this is because of the images, I love them. They fit really well with the genre of the magazine and the use of clothing and props like the hat and scarf really add to the ‘coolness’ and calmness of the artist. I also really like the layout of both pages but more the contents page because it shows the artist has different angles in his music and has shows that he isn’t just the normal rap/hip hop artist but he is willing to change and be different to everyone else.
However, I think that the double page spread should have more going on in it, like maybe one or two other images to help support the main image on the page, on the other hand I do really like the layout of it and the fact that Rebecca has changed the colour scheme of the page but she has kept the purply pink tint but has emphasised the pink in the tint and has focused the colour scheme more towards the pink. And I do really love the image with the hands!"

These are Images from Whatsapp on my phone which I have screenshoted of the conversation between me and Germaine about taking photos of him for my media coursework.

I have removed his image from the top corner because he didn't want me to post the screenshots onto my blog with his image on it.
