Magazine Poster: Option 2 and Option 3

Following are the 2nd and 3rd magazine cover options. These were scored higher than option 1 in our audience feedback as surveys demonstrated that they looked cleaner and more organised which audiences felt looked more aesthetically pleasing and therefore more eye-catching.

Option 2

Option 3

When asked, audience members argued that both images were an improvement from option 1 however, by organising all the text in the centre it dragged attention away from the artist and those in the focus group said that it covered too much of the image. In comparison to each other, option 3 did slightly better scoring 3.5 out of 5 compared to 4 for option 2. This was explained in our interviews as the focus group agreed that by placing the all the text in the centre the image looked unbalanced and cluttered. As a result of this research I have decided to experiment further with the position of text and the label as this could dramatically improve the overall aesthetic of the poster.

Magazine Poster: Option 1

Below is a copy of the first drafted magazine cover options. Having created my own gradient filter for the background and sharpening the foreground image of the artist, I then decided to experiment with different positioning of text and labels. Having looked at this design after completing it i feel that the position of the i-D logo on the top left corner is perfect. As with genuine i-D magazine covers, the logo is placed on the left. Again, with the photography copyright information and volume information placed on the right I believe that the cover looks clean and organised and very professional. However, following surveys, it became clear that the positioning of text and the Parental Advisory label made the cover appear cluttered and not aesthetically pleasing. As a result we decided that this would not be a good final print product and I will experiment more with the positioning of the information.

Research and Planning: Questionnaire

Research and Planning: Questionnaire For my research into audience, I carried out a simple questionnaire to build a basic profile of my audience and to find out more about what that audience like to see in videos. Consisting of 5 basic open questions, I wanted to keep it short and simple to make it as effective and honest as possible.  What is your age? Who is currently your favourite grime artist? How often do you attend live grime events? What do you expect to see in a grime video? Where do you hear about and view grime videos? After collecting results from 50 questionnaires, here are the results:
