The questions I asked -
''What do you think makes a good front cover for a hip hop magazine in general?''
Afreen had said the big main image of the artist the magazine is focusing on. This tells me that most readers find images more appealing whilst looking at a magazine front cover.
'' What stands out on this front cover you can see?''
Nadia said the colour scheme and the artist because he is well known & the yellow and the black works well. This tells me that colour scheme should be limited and should link to the genre as a part of the colour itself representing the genre.
'' What age group do you think this would be targeted at?''
Afreen replied the teenagers aged 14-20 year old because Jay-Z is more involved with rap. This tells me that I should think about who I would put on my front cover according to the target audience I would be aiming at. Nadia said the artist is been out for a long time so their would be different age ranges this is aimed at.
''What attracts you on the contents page and why?''
Nadia said the celebrity image and Afreen said she likes the way the layout of the picture is on the left hand side, its not busy and the use of the colour scheme it looks good overall.
''On the double page spread, does it make you want to read it?''
Afreen said it is too simple, the text is small and would prefer a bigger picture. Nadia said there is too much text and colour scheme is plain.
''What would you expect to be on a double page spread for you to want to read it?''
Nadia said less text and Afreen said a drop down cap to make it look more appealing. This implies that many readers do not want to read a lot of text on a page but at the same time the text should be bigger and clearer along with larger images.
