Front cover feedback:

. "I like the range of fonts used. I think they link together well. The model is also wearing a checkered shirt which reflects your genre. You have also included terms that are included in real media text."

. "I like the font you've used for your masthead and also the colour scheme and layout."

. "I like the layout of the cover and what all the cover lines are. Also, I like how the masthead instantly shows what genre of magazine it is."

. "The image taken is clear and the angle of gaze is directly towards the consumer. The layout is well chosen and so is the text."

. "I really like the masthead of the magazine. The fact that you've got the EMI logo looks really professional."

. "I like the masthead. It suits your genre of music. The text is also relevant."

. "The font (for your double page spread artist) matches the genre perfectly and the artists mentioned will pull in. The image is very endearing."

. "The font on all three pages link throughout. The masthead suits your genre and I love the layout of your magazine, very unique."

. "I really like the colour scheme, it's bold and stands out. I like how its very simplistic yet effective and you can tell it's on acoustic music."

. "Good pose chosen for model. Great use of feature colours. Nice variety of text."

. "The picture really stands out and is eye catching. The colours fit well with the rest of the page."

. "Love the masthead. Feature colours worked well and are used appropriately. Model image draws in attention, as in eye catching. Magazine fits well together."

Front cover linked to research:
From what I've seen from real media text that I have looked at, my front cover is linked to my research in the following ways:
. My masthead is big and visible, it has elements that make it stand out such as colouring and shadows.
. My cover lines aren't too small, they're easy and visible to read.
. My main feature stands out as the most important text (apart from the masthead).
. The picture I've used on my front cover is clear and eye catching as this is what attracts people to a magazine he most.
. I have a balance of colour and a main feature colour (red)
. My barcode isn't too big and doesn't take up too much space
Below are magazines that I have looked at with my magazine at the end, showing how it replicates real media text
