I’m familiar with the artist

I dislike that I don’t know
the featured model on
the front cover therefore
magazine doesn’t interest
me. Although I like Q as a
music magazine brand.
NME is my favourite music
magazine brand so I like
this however I dislike
reading about drug stories
and the main article is
about this so it puts me
off this particular issue.

What are your opinions/thoughts on the following music magazine double page spreads?
Interview 2
1. What is your gender?
Female.
I like the layout of
“contents” as it’s
unique, something I
dislike would be the
dark background as
it’s boring.
The layout is really
professional which is
something I like, I
don’t have any dislikes
to this contents page.
The contents page looks
too overcrowded with text
so this would be
something I dislike
although the teaser of an
article in the magazine
entices me to read on
which is something I like.
I like how the pictures are laid out,
they’re laid out in an interesting,
unique format. I dislike however the
variety of colours, I prefer a more
consistent colour scheme.
The close up of Lady Gaga is
something I really like however the
text is very small in a large quantity
and is a bit tedious to read.
One thing I like is the image is quite
patriarchal however a dislike of
mine would be I don’t know the
model so don’t have an interest on
the article about her.
2. How old are you?
16.
3. Do you read music magazines?
Yes.
4. How often do you read music magazines?
Weekly.

£3.
7. What are your opinions/thoughts on the following music magazine front covers?
8. What are your opinions/thoughts on the following music magazine contents pages?
I really like how well
“VIBE” stands out on the
page however I don’t like
Drake’s music and with
him being the featured
artist this issue it puts me
off the issue.
I like how the model
takes up the whole front
cover. Although
something I dislike is I
don’t know who she is
so the issue doesn’t
engage me.
NME is a music magazine I
really like and one I buy
weekly, I don’t have any
dislikes with this front
cover.
9. What are your opinions/thoughts on the following music magazine double page
spreads?
Interview 3
1. What is your gender?
Male.
2. How old are you?
I don’t like anything
about this contents
page, I don’t know
the artist and dislike
how small the text is
in proportion to the
page.
This contents page
looks really
professional due to
the magazine
consistently using the
same colours. I don’t
have any dislikes with
this contents page.
I dislike the self-
promotion of the
subscription plan
especially due to it being
fairly big. I do however
like the band index as I
can efficiently locate
bands of my interests in
the magazine.
I like the contrast in colours in the
images how it goes from dark to
light. A dislike would be the dark
blue text as it doesn’t follow the
magazines colour scheme.
I really like the big “L” to begin her
name especially the fact that it’s
coloured yet transparent allowing the
text to still be read. However I dislike
the amount of text there is.
I like how concise the article is as
articles with large amounts of text
can be boring to read. I don’t dislike
anything about this double page
spread.

No.
4. How often do you read music magazines?
N/A.
5. What music genre/s are your preferences?

6. How much do you/would you spend on a music magazine?

7. What are your opinions/thoughts on the following music magazine front covers?
8. What are your opinions/thoughts on the following music magazine contents pages?
I like the use of white on
black as it allows the text
to stand out clear. I don’t
like the use of yellow
when it’s used on small
print like on this front
cover as it’s harder to
read.
I like the variety in font
sizes to show what’s
important about each
piece of print. A dislike
of mine is the logo ends
quite abruptly leaving a
colour contrast between
the logo and image.
Something I like about this
magazine is a range of
articles are advertised on
the front cover. In terms
of dislikes I don’t have any
with this front cover.
9. What are your opinions/thoughts on the following music magazine double page
spreads?
Interview 4
One thing I dislike is
that the magazine
logo is in black on a
dark background so is
very hard to see.
Another dislike I have
is I’m not familiar
with the model. I
don’t like anything in
particular about this
contents page.
I like how articles in
the magazine have
screenshots on the
contents page.
Something I dislike is
how short the
contents text is, only
major articles are
listed.
I really like the different
sections which splits up
content within the
magazine. However I
dislike the personal
promotion.
The bright colours of the models
dress stand out on light background
which is effective. Although some of
the print colour clashes with the
backdrop making it harder to read.
I like the large amount of the spread
Lady Gaga takes up as it reduces the
amount of text to read. I don’t dislike
anything about this double page
spread.
The silver background looks very
professional which is good,
however I’d prefer if the model
was bigger as she doesn’t take up
a large amount of the page
despite there being room for her
to.

6. How much do you/would you spend on a music magazine?
£3.
7. What are your opinions/thoughts on the following music magazine front covers?
VIBE the brand name is in
bold letters in white on a
black backdrop so
consumers instantly know
what magazine reading.
Furthermore I think the
front cover looks very
professional.
The use of the rhetorical
question on “BROKEN
MAN?” engages me and
other consumers with the
magazine.
The white lettering
effectively stands out
due to Florence’s ginger
hair. I like how Florence
is looking directly at the
camera therefore
audience.
What is your opinion on the following contents pages?
What is your opinion on the following double page spreads?
Interview 5
1. What is your gender?
Male.
2. How old are you?
26.
I think this contents
page is very
unprofessional.
This contents page
looks very
professional, the
consistent layout and
colour scheme helps
this.
It’s very informative in
terms of what’s where in
the magazine.
I really like the layout of the images,
the background however makes
some of the print hard to read
especially with it being so small.
The image of Lady Gaga is very
photogenic and the black and white
creates a classic feel.
The silver theme creates a
professional style and the model is
in a seductive pose which will
attract the eyes of males.
3. Do you read music magazines?
No.
4. How often do you read music magazines?
N/A.
5. What music genre/s are your preferences?
Rap & Grime.

£10 a month maximum.
7. What is your opinion on the following music magazine front covers?
8. What is your opinion on the following music magazine contents pages?
Drake the model is my
favourite artist so I’m
instantly interested in the
magazine. I like the yellow
and black colour scheme.
This front cover looks very
professional.
I like how the shot of
Florence is close up how
she’s looking directly at
the camera.
9. What is your opinion on the following music magazine double page spreads?
Interview 6
1. What is your gender?
Female.
2. How old are you?
28.
I like the artist’s
music who’s the
model and like the
layout of
“CONTENTS”.
The layout of the
contents page looks
professional, the large
numbers telling you
where the big articles
are located is helpful.
The band index is a
helpful feature and I like
the article teaser.
I like the use of a range of different
images, the spread in my opinion
looks very professional.
I like the shot of Lady Gaga and also
the use of the big red “L”.
I think it would be better if the
model took up more of the spread
and if the text was in a bigger font
size.
3. Do you read music magazines?
Yes.
4. How often do you read music magazines?
Weekly.
5. What music genre/s are your preferences?
Pop.
6. How much do you/would you spend on a music magazine?
£5.
7. What is your opinion on the following music magazine front covers?
8. What is your opinion on the following music magazine contents pages?
I really like the use of
yellow and black, they
complement each other
very well. In addition I
think the front cover looks
professional.
I like how they’ve used
the model’s hair as a
background for some
text.
I like how they’ve
advertised a range of
articles on the front
cover.
9. What is your opinion on the following music magazine double page spreads?
There’s a lot of space
available, I think it
looks better if the
vast majority of space
is filled.
There is a lot images
which I like and I think
the contents page in
general looks
professional.
I like the use of the
different sections down
the right hand side
splitting up the content in
the magazine.
I think the light background is
professional however some text is in
a light colour and marginally clashes
with the background.
The black and white background on
the image connotes classical ideas. A
criticism I have is I feel the article is
too long.
I like how prominent “USA” is on
the page however I feel the model
would benefit from being as
prominent.
