Audience feedback to production

1. Audience Feedback to Production

2. Audience Feedback on Production
I produced a questionnairefor my magazine in order to see the target audiences views and opinions on it.I
asked six people to fill in my questionnairewhich allowed me to find out what my target audience thinks about
my pop magazineand to see what they think I could improveor change about it. All the answers where from
females, this is whatmy magazine target audiencegender is however there is roomfor a maleaudience too, I
used people of whom arewithin 15-19 years of age as this is whatmy target audienceis so the views will be
accurateand I can take on board what they say and think about my magazine.
From the results I received I found out that overall they believe my magazine will besuccessful and itappeals
to them, I used vague broad questions alongsidestraightdirectquestions in order to get the best outcome
possible,this also allowed me to get the best feedback as I had a mix of details.The firstmain question I asked
was if they liked my colours in which they responded with yes and so I asked why in order for me to know if
they relate to the audienceand intriguethem or if the colour scheme puts them off. The target audiencesaid
that they did and it is conventional for the genre of pop and the colours relateto them as itis female-leaning
however one person believed I should not have used black atall so this is somethingto consider.The audience
thought it was eye-catching and typical.
Followingon from colours I asked if they liked the fonts, in which they agreed and said they did enjoy the fonts
used throughout my magazine. They believed that the fonts stand out as I have used both serif and sans serif
and it follows the conventions and relates to the pop genre; they grab your attention, modern, happy vibe and
looks fun and stylish. To link the fonts and colours together I asked if they liked the house style that I used in
my magazineand if they found it conventional in which they responded with yes, 100% agreed. The idea of a
house stylelikes is positivedueto it meant all my pages will link together and does not look likeseparate
magazines or that it does not match nor contrastwith each page.
I asked my target audience whether they liked my photos and images in my magazine, they all agreed that my
images where effective sinceall theimages arein a variety of shot types, which allows thepage to be more
visual,interestingand intriguing.They also said itcaptured the model well as she look attractiveand flawless
in which they would liketo look like. They said they enjoy my photos and the model looks intriguingdueto
the body languagebeing mysterious, the eye contact and the shot type varies,they also would liketo read
more about the artistdue to the images used and would liketo look up to them positively.My models used
are all conveyed in a fashionableand relatableway by all beingfemales and of a similar ageto the readers.
I asked if the layoutwas conventional in order for my magazine to be successful and they all answered yes
which allowed me to appeal more to the target audiences.I used the route of the eye and ruleof thirds to
make itmore appealingand visual,italso allows thereader to get all the information needed quickly too and
intriguethen. The ruleof thirds also allows thepage to not look cluttered but look mature and sophisticated.
One important question I asked was the languageand mode of address,if they did not likethis than they
would either find the magazine, to complex, or to childish; therefore not read my magazineso this needed to
be good in order for my magazineto stand a chance. The languagehelps the target audience weather to buy it
or not or if they can relate to itor not. Sincemy target audienceare older teenagers to young adults my
languagewas enjoyed sincealthough was quite formal and used some intelligentwords it also used some Day-
to-day talk and relates to them. The languageis not simpleand boringbut nor is itover the top and complex, it
has elements of both formal and informal in order for them to relate to it. They all agreed that I used the right
ratio of informal to formal elements in my magazine.
The lastfew questions where quite simplebut justas significant.I asked about all the three pages, front cover,
contents page and double page spread. They said thatthe front cover was intriguingand the double page
spread was interesting and makes them want to the read the content inside.They also all thoughtthat my
contents page was easy to navigatearound which is important. When I asked if there was anythingI could add
or change to make it more effective they all said no but I could maybe add more jewlery for a younger target
audiencehowever a younger audienceis not my target audienceso I will notincludethis is my ideas to

and eneded up lookinggood.
