To get feed back on my magazine i created a Facebook group because it was a quick way to access my target audience. This is the link to the group:

The feedback is the comments on the wall and the photos.

this is a link to the evaluation of my magazine.

Photo Editing

I used this picture on my front cover. I wanted the front cover to be all white and i wanted a profile shot like this, so i cut out the background using the the magic wand tool on photoshop, to give it that effect. I also brought the band members closer together to make them look like a close knit group.

In this picture i cut one of the models out and moved them closer to the rest of the band. I also stretched the picture to make the models look taller an thinner. I did this to make them more appealing to my target audience. Unfortunately i lost the un-edited version of this photo.

I edited the colours on this photo by putting a filter from photoshop on it. I also cropped and stretched it to make the models look taller and thinner. I changed the colour to make this look more ruff and interesting.

On this photo i put a 'coloured window' filter from photoshop on this photo. I did this to make the model look special and to look interesting.

Photos

For this photo i tried to use a backdrop that would appeal to my target audience, it looks like an urban backdrop but with out being overly stereotypical, and it also doesn't look like some kind of 'ghetto' which would not appeal to my target audience. The costumes i chose for them were chosen to represent what the readers of my magazine would wear. That being skinny jeans, retro jackets and checkered shirts. I chose to shoot them further apart in the two pictures above to get their full body's in the shot so i could get all their outfits in, outfits which my target audience will identify with.

In the picture above i brought the models closer together, and did a came in closer with the shot, to show their unity as a band and to get a closer look at their faces. I chose in this photo to have the two males smoking, this is because i thought it would appeal to my target audience and it would also take innocence away from the band which is what i wanted their image to be. I chose for my female model not to be smoking because it means that a non smoker can still relate to someone in the band.

In the photo above i took a medium close-up of one of the models. This was to try and get closer look at the main person of my interview, and really get a good look at his features. The clothes he is wearing is clothing that my target audience can relate too. The color of his clothes also fits in with the color scheme of my magazine.
