What I am doing now?
After receiving feedback on my drafts I have now started to develop my final magazine pages. Here my action list:
Front Cover
-Edit image (remove model's roots and moles): Done
-Move the date and other plugs to allow more details
-Add more coverlines
Contents
-Completely re-think layout: Done
-Add more features: Done
-Consider other smaller images (maybe relating to 'Regulars'): Done
-Incorporate more of the magazine's identity: Done
DPS
-Develop article: Done
-Adjust the layout to make the main image the one that shows most photographic talents: Done
-Add the new questions into the article and adjust the layout accordingly (add a pull quote, a common feature of DPS): Done
-Edit the brightness/saturation on any photographs use to make them fit together (also edit any of the model's roots if they are visible): Done

Draft Feedback - Peer
I asked a selection of my target audience the evaluation questionnaire I previously posted.
With the questions asking whether the magazine represents the rock genre most of the answers were very positive.The magazine name of Snare is praised as it is said it 'has large connotations with the rock genre'. There were different views on my colour scheme with one person saying it contrasts well and another suggesting that darker colours are associated with the rock genre and that the colours I have used do not reflect that. One comment about my images was that 'YES (they do reflect the rock genre) because of the black clothes, graffiti and the trees reminds me of the cure's song "a forest" which had a huge influence on modern music and specifically rock and alternative today'. This demonstrates that I have met the stereotypical view of the genre with most of the elements in my magazine.
One set of peer answers that are very insightful for analysis of the magazine:1. I like how bold it comes across with the mahooosive font
2. Rock
3. (what are plugs?) yes?! i like free cds
4. The contents seem well focused
5. YES because of the black clothes, graffiti and the trees reminds me of the cure's song "a forest" which had a huge influence on modern music and specifically rock and alternative today
6. I like how the colours contrast to the images, it makes the font stand out, so people are drawn to read the article
7. Yes! there could be more blue font on the front cover though, so that the blue is consistent throughout
8. The article is extremely well written and flows well- you believe that this was an actual interview between two people. This is why I found it very interesting and believable as an actual rock magazine article.
9. The double page spread looks very professional- the title font catches the eye and the images are well picked.
10. I'd say maybe put a few more headlines on the front but other than that it's awesome.

Initial Corrects
I have started altering my work following my teacher and peer feedback.
To start with I have changed the double page spread as my teacher said to create more focus on the smaller image. I have readjusted the placement and use of the images, making the smaller image larger to fill half the page as it makes more of an impact on the reader. I then used two portrait images to fill the rest of the page which highlights the musician.
