From my focus group I received strong feedback on my media
product, for starters that my title ‘DMT’, although somewhat questionable, was
short and sweet. I was also told that my plans thus far were in fitting with an
indie-rock genre – but I could always make it clearer. Furthermore I was told
that my idea to keep my colour scheme in fitting with an already successful magazine
– NME – that I had used in my research was good but my peers also suggested I reverse
the colour scheme into black background and red/white text for my double page
spread, an idea I took on.
When discussing magazine styles I was advised to
keep mine ‘matt’ as opposed to ‘glossy’ to once maintain genre and audience
appeal, though I never really intended to do a glossy magazine. Moving on, I found
out that I was also on the right lines of text to image ratio, I followed
typical conventions of the front cover being dominated by a focal image, albeit
for cover lines but having the double page spread feature a few images and an
exclusive interview, text. Finally when conversing about what to feature on my
contents page I confirmed having more artists other than the main band was
naturally appealing but I leaned also that I could fuse genres to increase the
range of audience appeal, and possibly comeback artist as well.
