PRELIM TASK: Flat Plan

This is my draft representation of what i would like my final product to look like. I did not want to overwhelm the readers with too much writing so that is why i kept the text to a minimum. I chose a bold sans serif font which doesn't have any details or flourishes. This is because in most pop magazine i looked at has a bold font and i think the reason for this is because pop music in general has a strong influence and is very vivid and striking. If i were to use a serifs font my magazine would give the connotations of a beauty or fashion magazine whereas a bold font emphasis the strength of pop culture.

I asked for feedback on my design and got the following` responses:
- too much empty space t the bottom
- the amount of words is fine
- the background is too dark (though it does not look like this in the draft i showed people the picture in colour)
- the font is good
- love the lighting is so amazing, i love the warm colours
- great model and it is kind of cheesy ' The new face of pop'
- it's good how the question would be related to Naia the model (i haven't thought of a question yet but i told people that it would be related to the model)
- i would genuinely buy this
- dont over crowd it
- keep it simple
- the reader wants to know about Naia and the layout is good
- the fonts are good and the layout s good because it is clear where everything is
- (i told poeple that the colour of the fonts would be quite light like a nudish colour due to the dark background) they like the fact that the fonts would be light and nudish because it would be easy to read
- the bubbles makes it look so cool
- the lighter font makes it stand out more
- maybe thicken the font like the magazine 'vibe' and put the name behind Naias head because people could make out what it would be called
- add more stuff

My thoughts:
Judging by these comments i can conclude that most of these responses are positive however there is room for improvement. Based on these reviews i think i will thicken my font and i would maybe add a little more text at the front but i would not add so much that it would overwhelm the audience. I wouls only place condenced interesting information which would stand out to readers.
