I asked 10 people, ranging from 14 - 26, the outline ages of my target audience, their thoughts on the magazine. I got the same feedback from each person.
Firstly, they thought the idea was fresh and unique, though were not sure whether they would want to read about all the genres included in the magazine. They did note however that they were open to learning about music they did not normally listen to, and after reading about their favourite ones, thought that they would probably read about the others had they bought the magazine.
Secondly, they thought the front cover was eye catching, because it was unlike any other music magazines. However interestingly, they noted that at a glance they would not first notice that it was a music magazine, even if they did see the picture of the man with the guitar. They said this was because the magazine is so different from others, its almost unexpected.
The interview they felt, although humourous, useful and very interesting/informative, it wasn't representitive of most pop music, and not advertised properly on the front cover and contents page.
Finally, onto the contents page, they felt wasn't effective. They were put off by the clash of the many different fonts, but not the colours as they felt the colours worked well together on the front cover, and so could be matched in the contents page. It was the fonts that were 'too much'.
