Focus group analysis of cover

Focus group analysis of cover

• 1.
  Focus Group Analysis Thisis one of the magazine covers I annotated for my research and planning. I used this cover as an example for my focus group. I asked specific questions about it, hoping the audience’s responses would help me make the best possible magazine cover I can. 1) Do you like the colour scheme of this magazine cover? If not, what two or more colours would you prefer it to be? - On an average, most people who answered this question said they liked this cover’s colour scheme, but other popular colours suggested were blue and green. 2) Do you like the cover’s layout? If not, how else would you prefer the layout? -Popular answers were being able to see most of the guitar, rather than half of it being blocked by coverlines, etc. They also said they would prefer a few more taglines rather than just pictures of band members.

  3) What particularmember of a band would you prefer to see on the cover most of all? (e.g. Guitarist, Lead singer, Drummer, etc.) - The answer to this question was just about unanimous; Guitarist was the most popular answer. 4) Name 3 rock bands that you would like to appear in taglines/coverlines on the front cover of a rock magazine such as this one. - Popular answers included Rage Against The Machine and 30 Seconds To Mars. 5) Do you like the Camerawork used on this front cover? (In this case a low angle shot) If not, state another shot that you would like to be used. - Low angle shot was a popular choice, followed by mid-shots and high angles.
