Changes Made to Magazine Cover from Feedback...

After receiving and reading through the feedback we received on the Magazine Cover we created as part of a films promotional package, we made slight changes to the way the magazine looked. Below shows what the magazine cover originally looked like and what it looked like after we completed changes suggested to us in the audience feedback received.

 In our feedback, we received a comment saying ‘…there are lots of plain spaces and I feel that they could have been filled with images or text..’. After re ding this comment and referring back to our magazine cover we realised that there as a large blank space on the left side of the cover. Because of this we added more to the cover of the magazine. We started by moving the “PLUS…” heading with the writing underneath it to the left side to fill the gap and we added another heading  offering readers an interview with Jade Renouf, who was the girl seen within our trailer who searches for her friend. We added this heading an also included a photo of the girl. Bu doing this we for filled thee audience feedback by filling in  noticeable gaps upon the magazine cover. Adding the extra side heading onto the cover helped keep real convention of magazine covers in place on the magazine cover. This was done by including the small photograph. A convention we missed was that there were other, smaller images placed on some magazine covers. By including this we connected within the conventions and made our magazine more realistic to the audience.

Another thing we changed on the magazine cover after feedback was the photo seen within our ‘New & Exclusive Film Releases’ Section that can be seen on the cover of our magazine. We replaced the film poster with posters created by other groups within our class. This was so that we had all original images upon our magazine cover. Before placing the posters onto the magazine we gained permission to advertise other groups films and use there posters on our magazine cover. By changing this all elements of the magazine cover were original.
