Task 5

Task 5- Discussing the feedback

The first piece of feedback I received was will the fonts work as they are quite difficult to read, then another piece of feedback was that the introduction in the top right of the double page spread is very heavy and difficult to read. Then the external client said that i have to make sure that I'm not producing something that is difficult to engage with, other wise it will turn people off and will affect sales.

The clients also said that the fonts on front cover are easier to read apart from the font for the puff as it is heavy and difficult to read which I will make note of to change for the future.

Another piece of feedback I received was that I don't have to use the graffiti fonts for everything, can mix it up a bit and balance by using other fonts that are more simple, this is another change that I will make to my magazine by using more simple fonts to balance the fonts up.

Also the clients said that the logo works very well and that the images work very well

A mistake that was pointed out was that the pricing is different from what was said on the presentation it what was showing on the front cover.

Also the clients liked the idea of having a subscription cheaper and where the copy of the magazine is delivered to homes.

Another piece of constructive criticism is to find other competition examples that are similar to my magazine as the current competition (Q and MOJO) isn’t the same genre as my magazine, find national magazines with the same genre.

The final bit a feedback that was given to me was that the presentation was very concise. As the client explained that simple presentations allows for expansion and imagination.

Differentiating useful points and points that won't develop my ideas

Useful points:

•   Will the fonts work?, they are quite difficult to read – This feedback is useful  for developing my ideas because I can now change some of the fonts of my magazine so they are easier to read for the reader.

•   The words for the introduction in the top right of the double page spread are very heavy and difficult to read. – This is a useful point so I now know that I have to change the color and the font for the introduction so it isn’t seen as heavy and hard to read by the reader.

•    Fonts on front cover are easier to read apart from the font for the puff as it is heavy and difficult to read. -  This point is useful because I now know that the fonts on the front cover a fine apart from I will change the font for the puff as it is seen by the clients as heavy and difficult to read

•   Don't have to use the graffiti fonts for everything, can mix it up a bit and balance by using other fonts that are more simple. – This is useful because It has helped me realize that I don’t need to have graffiti fonts for everything and that I can mix it up.

•   The pricing is different from what was said on the presentation it what was showing on the front cover. – I will use this point to change the pricing on the front cover as it is different from what I said it would be in my presentation.

•   Find other competition examples that are similar to my magazine as the current competition (Q and MOJO) aren't the same genre as my magazine, find national magazines with the same genre.

Points that wont develop my ideas:

·      ·      Have to make sure that I'm not producing something that is difficult to engage with, other wise it will turn people off and will affect sales. – This wont affect my ideas because I feel that my magazine isn’t difficult to engage with and so I wont need to change anything to change that.

·      The logo works very well – The logo doesn’t need developing which wont affect my ideas.

·      The images work very well- I wont need to develop the images which wont affect my ideas.

·      Like the idea of having a subscription cheaper and where the copy of the magazine is delivered to homes. – I wont need to develop this as it has been pointed out as something the client likes

·      The presentation was very concise. Simple presentations allows for expansion and imagination. – As the client liked the idea of the presentation being concise, I wont need to develop the presentation so it makes it less concise.

Task 5- How will feedback develop my product, what will I take on board.

•   Will the fonts work?, they are quite difficult to read – This feedback i will take on board and will help develop my product as I may change some of the fonts that are seen as hard to read and change them so they are easier to read.

•   The introduction in the top right of the double page spread is very heavy and difficult to read. – This feedback will help develop my product as I will now change the font and color of the introduction on my double page spread so it looks less heavy and is easier to read for the reader.

•    Fonts on front cover are easier to read apart from the font for the puff as it is heavy and difficult to read. – I will take this feedback on board to develop my product as I know that the fonts are fine for the front cover but I will change the fonts for the puff as it was pointed out as again being heavy and quite difficult to read.

•   Don't have to use the graffiti fonts for everything, can mix it up a bit and balance by using other fonts that are more simple. – This will help me develop my product as I will try and mix up the fonts in my magazine, as instead of using the graffiti font for everything I will use more simple fonts so it is easier to read

•   Find other competition examples that are similar to my magazine as the current competition (Q and MOJO) aren't the same genre as my magazine, find national magazines with the same genre. – This feedback will help develop my product because the client stated that the competition I have chosen isn’t relatable towards my magazine and who I would really compete with, so I will find national grime magazine that I would be more likely to compete with, with this I can develop my magazines look and content so It is better than the competition.
