Survey for audience feedback
I created this survey for my target audience to give me feedback on my media product, I did this to see if my magazine would be successful if it was to go on the market as a real magazine. The response I got was very positive.
Peer feedback
You have successfully used the convention of having 3 or more original images for each of your product (DPS, CP and FC). This is good as it gives the audience (me) more to look at and also enables you to include more information about the different bands and stories that go with it. It is evident that you have used a range of font sizes, text and colour – therefore showing that you can successfully integrate more than one design.
On your front cover, it is evident that you have matched the genre of music with the artists you have chosen to feature, such as Meatloaf. The clothes your models are wearing are also appropriate to your genre and therefore your model suites the style of font, text... etc. Your pull-quotes are enticing as they promote competitions and winning free things, therefore making you want to buy the magazine because you have a chance of being more involved with the artists featured within the particular magazine.
I liked the idea of incorporating social media website links onto your contents page (Facebook, twitter) this relates well to your age range as many people who would be reading your magazine would be involved in these groups.
One thing that could have been improved was maybe the colour of your background or maybe had your models pose in a different background instead of a studio. This being because metal music is normally very social and gig-related, so there is generally more liveliness in the social group that metal music is aimed at.
Overall, I would buy this magazine because the colour scheme is very eye-catching and work with the main models and text which collaborates the whole thing together and cohesively links your front page, contents page and double-page spread together.

I think your front cover looks very good, and you have used many conventions. There is no wasted space, which is good, and it shows that you have a good understanding of the layout of magazines. You have used a variety of different fonts, which makes is a very successful front cover.
Your contents page is well organised and uses many conventions. You have several images, a variety of fonts and social media, which all makes it look like a real front cover. There is a good continuity between your front cover and contents, and your colour scheme has the right connotations for the genre.
