Layout + Colour scheme....

After proposing the two possible images for my front cover some members of my focus group (Lucy, tom, Louise and Robbie) noticed that the previous proposed layout and colour scheme wouldn't look homogeneous with the black and white theme.
So i decided to put forward a set of question to the my focus group to understand their view about it...

ACCORDING TO THESE TWO POSSIBLE FRONT COVERS....

- Do you think that the blue/black/white colour scheme should still be used?

Yes 80%
No 20%

-Do you think that the banner at the top of the magazine would still look appropriate?

Yes 15%
No 85%

- Do you think the font should be changed or stay the same?

Change 70%
Stay the same 30%
