I asked a focus group of 12-13 year olds to comment on my magazine cover (first draft) and write down what they liked, disliked or what they would change etc.
This way I got plenty of useful and helpful information to improve my Shmagazine cover, and gave me a clear idea of how to create my Shmagazine contents page to a good standard.
I found these particular following comments rather helpful:
''Perhaps the style of the writing (not the title) could be a bit less boring?''
''More colour!''
''The big picture is a bit pixlated''
With the comments in mind, I set to work to produce the final front cover.
