Feedback on Genre and overall.

Heather Masthead: Hybrid

Font: Font was funky and sort of punk

which relates to the genre of the

magazine which is rock/ pop punk.Black and white is the main colours which

work well with the genre of the magazine.

The colours can also suggest a

sophisticated mood which is suitable for

the target audience of the magazine.

MES- The mise-en-sen throughout the magazine is

strongly related to the target audience and to whom the

magazine is aimed at. The background image (main cover

image) will tie in nicely with where everything will bepositioned on the magazine. The doll idea is good

however if its representing just Halloween, it can be

limited to how much it sells.

Very good thoughtful process and the genre

fits with the magazine images and content.

The only limitations I think will occur will be

the season seller of having a Halloweenedition. Good genre of a rock magazine with

different elements as well.

Harris Ul-haq Masthead: Acapella

Font colour: Red

Font type: Graffiti spray however not so

much that you cant see what it says.Age range: 13+

Connotations are all clear.

MES- Bold centred image. Connotates to everything a

magazine needs. One problem you might though would

be arranging everything in the right positions so it a ll

fitted on without ruining the main image itself. Nice ideachoosing red however a lot of other non-rap magazines

use red as well, for example rock magazines use a lot of

red colours as well.

Very good magazine start overall. Maybe think

about what the genre of this magazine would

like to see in this magazine and think about

what your cover lines and top and bottomstrips will be.

Luke Bodenham Masthead: Indiependant (Indie, relates to

the genre of the magazine as well).

Font: Font connotates to the masthead of

looking quite individual.

Colour of the font was dark and fitted

with the rest of the magazine.

Age range: older teens

MES- All images are taken outside which gives a good

lighting effect on the main person in the image. Costume

of black is good as it stands out amongst all the

backgrounds that arent obviously black. Photo angles

and shots are good as they connotate to what music

magazines usually go for.

The genre of people who like indie music and

indie rock magazines is good as its becoming

more popular these days. Good ides just need

to adapt to what youve already done.

Jamie Clabon Masthead: Open micFont: Red font

Font type:

Age range: 12-25

MES- Lighting, costume and props are all relevant to thegenre of the magazine. Id retake a few of the photos to

make them look a bit more professional and maybe edit

the background out if theres cars involved in the picture.

Overall its a very good magazine and thegenre and purpose of the magazine all fit well

together.

Samuel Coley Masthead: Shuffle

Font colour: Blue and grey

MES- The lighting was slightly off in the music magazine

and there was a drainage pipe visible in shot so maybe

Good genre of rock music and I think the

image has been taken well to fit all the

retake some of the shots in a different area of an alley so

that you have a better background.

essential things a music magazine needs.

Ikei Durose Masthead: Off Beat

Font colour: Black font which can relateto the genre of the magazine.

Age range: teenage girls mainly

MES- good lighting, costume for the magazine, maybe

take a few more shots so that you have a few morephotos to choose from

Good, maybe change the style of your

masthead to so that it fits with the genre ofyour magazine a little better.

Samuel Homer Masthead: Original

Font colour: Red/black

Age range: teenage boys and higher

MES- Good photos however I think that it can be a little

dark in certain areas of the page

Some of the codes and conventions for the

magazine arent met for example your image

doesnt have the model looking directly at the

camera which could limit selling of the

magazine as most music magazines will have

the person on the front looking towards the

camera.

Leo Font colour:

Font type:Age range: 18-28

MES- the lighting is dark outside and might be a bit too

dark for readers and there are some limitations to codesand conventions as they arent looking towards the

magazine.

Good aspects and ideas to the magazine

throughout but go over some of the mis-ensen things regarding the images.
