Music Magazine Cover Audience Feedback

This is the target audience feedback on what they think about my front cover. Here I will show the positives and negatives that they think of the front cover.

Daniel Smith
Positives - I think that the mix of colours is good. The orange and the blue contrast with each other to allow them to stand out when they are against each other. I like the way that the cover lines are placed around the side of the image. I like the way that the barcode background is grey and not quite as it allows it to blend in with the page. I think that the way that the mast head is placed is good because it allows it to be the clearest thing seen on the page.
Negatives - I don't like the way that the cover line of swagger is placed over the image, I think that this makes it hard to see. I also think that it is hard to see the 50 on the grey background. Perhaps if it was lighter it would be better.

Oliver Warden
Positives - The colour scheme works well as colours of cover lines, masthead and sell line link up and make the page look attractive. The use of space effectiveness is good because the cover lines and masthead all fit on the page and also doesn't leave too much space.
Negatives - Some of the text is hard to see on the background as it doesn't contrast the background colour and hurts the eyes to read it.

Alex Smith
Positives - I think that the colours of the front cover are really good, I like the way that they contrast against one another, I also think that the way you have separated the titles of each cover line and the story, i think that this gives it a professional look. I also like the way that you have but the main cover line across the picture. I like that your cover line says swagger and he is also standing with his hands in his pockets with an attitude approach.
Negatives - I don't like the way that the background colour is the same as his trousers as it looks like he is just floating.

Callie Bilverstone
Positives - I like the way the colour scheme matches the clothes that the main picture is wearing. The title looks professional as it is slightly hidden behind the top of the picture. The cover lines are spaced out well.
Negatives - I think that there should be more cover lines as they are the things that sell the magazine. Could place the barcode somewhere below the bottom.
