Today I created my draft college magazine by hand. Then I asked 3 college students 5 questions regarding my magazine layout and colour scheme as stated below and recorded their answers. During the making of this video I handed over my magazine draft to the student and asked the questions to which they gave the answers. I will now use their comments to improve my magazine. After the recording I uploaded the video on a computer, then opened it in MoviePlayer and imported it to my file. Then, I uploaded the video to my blog.
This is the video I created while asking 3 students from my college 5 questions each about the hand drawn draft college magazine so that I can make improvements according to their comments. I asked each student these questions:
What do you think about the colours I used for my magazine cover draft?
The first person answered "Its nice, it works but it does not stand out, not bright" but the second person said "Its really nice and bold, I like that" though, the third person said "they're a bit dull so you could add some bright colours" therefore, I will now change my font colour to something bright to make it stand out so it is more attractive to the college students as they don't think it is appropriate for the magazine.
What do you think about the layout?
The first person said "Its different, things are close together". The second person said "I quite like the boxes and these show there are a lot of stories in it" and the third person said "the layout is good" hence, I will not need to change anything about the layout as the students think the layout is appropriate for the magazine which means more people will like it.
What changes would you make if you had the option to?
The first person answered "Different fonts and text styles" but the second person said "I don't think I would" and the third person said "I would change the font colour and the styles because they aren't interesting" so I will need to change my font style to make it more attractive for the reader and make them more interesting as this will invite more readers to see my magazine.
Would you buy this magazine, if so why?
The first student said " Yes I will because the cover is interesting and would like to see what's inside it ". This shows that the inside stories are quite interesting so I won't need to change those. Also, the second person said "Yes I would because I would like to know what's going on around the college". However, the third person replied "I wouldn't buy it but I would get it
for free". This shows that I need to improve my magazine in order to
convince the audience to buy the magazine.
What do you think about the masthead?
The first student said "It could be improved but it still works with the colour scheme". And the second person replied "I like it, its really eye catching and bold". The third person also said "the masthead is very big which is very good because it stands out". As a result, I think I won't need to change much about the masthead but I might change the colour of it to make it stand out.
