PRODUCTION - Barcode

Initially, I had placed my barcode at the top of my magazine next to my date. However feedback from my focus audience encouraged me to revise my initial research. Entertainment magazines, like those below, reflect how typically for entertainment magazine, the barcode price and date is quite small.

Therefore, I update my price, date and barcode, as shown below, to fit in with industry standards and appeal to my target audience's aesthetic needs. The continuity of placement and size for these elements of my front cover further create a sense of brand identity and house style. I also changed the original price so that my entertainment magazine was within keeping with industry standards and expectations.
