From my audience feedback, I found that the coverlines were seen to be unconventional as well as the colour red being more pink then blood red. The reason why my audience felt that coverlines did not look right is because they said that they have not seen anything similar on another magazine and they felt the layout was very unstructured and messy. I decided to changed the position of the coverlines to have them aligned against the left hand side of the magazine front cover as this is very conventional and makes the layout seem more structured. Secondly, the shade of red chosen looked okay on the computer screen, however, when printed on paper, the colour swayed more on the pink side then red so I used the method of trail and error of different shades of red to see what shade looks close enough to the shade of blood. Other then these minor changes, the feedback I received for the front cover was very positive and achieved a high average when I asked the audience to rate the front cover out of 10.
