My feedback of the focus group

Watching back both of my part 1-2 focus groups opinions on music magazines I've picked up important views on different questions which i had asked them. Some feedback i had picked up was that when i decide on how my magazine will come together i will make sure;

• Having gossip is more interesting to learn more about their artist their interested in. It is more appealing to find out about them.
• On the front cover, having bold masthead would be more appealing and stand out, having a female would attract the males which would want to buy the magazine from looking at the image. 
• If there was another busy background, it would take away the shine from the artist. 
• Having more than one colour makes the front cover more interesting and not boring.
• If there wasn't an artist/band in the front cover it might not appeal most people because they tend to buy a magazine that includes someone they recognize. 
• In the double spread page, the heading should be bold and stand out from the rest of the texts which should be in columns
• never make the magazine be around the price £2.00 as it is important to take others (the readers) views on how much they would spend on a music magazine. This could be why people don't want to buy magazines from the cost of it.
• If the artist is well known then people would buy it.
• People would want to buy the magazines to find out whats happening about the recent gossip of their favorite artist/band.
• People would rather buy it from the shop than online because most people would want to flick through the magazine before buying it. If the front cover is very appealing then it could outshine the rest of the pages, which also would make money from the attractive images and text that surrounds the images which different sized fonts and different fonts.
• My focus group said that they were interested in the genre R&B which is my chosen genre. They also said that including the right artist from the same genre is important as well. 
• The colours which would be more appropriate are; Gold, Black, Red - they said R&B is hot, dangerous but adventurous.
