Facebook evaluation

Facebook is a popular social networking site that is also used my major corporations’ to market and collect research about their product. I have applied this to my magazine by creating a Facebook profile for it. My aim is to gather feedback about my magazine through comments posted on the page. This should enable me to decide what aspects have worked well on my magazine and what could be done in the future issues to improve it. This should give me a better idea of if my magazine has been a success in appealing to my target market and roughly if it would gain a percentage of the music magazine market if it was published.

Final Magazine Cover

cover 12th draft

cover 11th draft

After getting feedback on my last draft i decided to make the 'Twin Atlantic .' heading bigger , bolder and with a background to make it easier to read and make it standout on the page more. I did this after comments about it being previously being to small to read and not standing out on the page. Furthermore after looking at existing magazine covers that are the same genera i decided to make a banner across the bottom informing the reader what other bands and featured inside. This should help to increase its appeal to my target market as it shows the variety of bands featured and hopefully thus will appeal to fans of various bands.

cover 9th draft

i have added a off white scribble effect background behind my strap line so that not only is it easier to read but it also emphasizes it as its more bold and eye-catching. I chose to use a scribble effect over a block of colour as the band has a flamboyant energetic style which i think the scribble expresses better. Also it gives the cover a more personal feel and look as the scribble is intended to look as though it has been hand done.
