It is very important to include audience feedback because it is a key element furing this unit of work. The feedback I recieved allowed to notice whiat i had did good, what needs changing and improving so that if i will make the magazine again, I wouldn't make the same mistake more than once. In order to recieve this audience feeback. I uploaded my product to the cocial network called facebook. Underneath the images as the caption I asked my friends and other people to say what they thought about my product and write down their opinion. I also uploaded my preliminary task, and asked them, whether they thought I had improved between the two.
Overall strengths I recieved back from the audience was:
-The front cover looks very eye catching, the image, the sell lines, the masthead all looks very effective and stands it
-It is a type of magazine, which they would buy as just by looking at the front cover, you can tell that inside of it will be very interesting
-The colour is very good, because it is not biased, it appeals to both genders
-The contents page looks colourful, its good that I didn't stick with just the main colours or it will just look very plain , where the colours are it stands out
-The double page spread article is very touching, a lot of them said they could relate to it, and feel that it is good because if people were to buy it, they could get advice from it
-There are no spelling mistakes, which shows that alot of care was taking when making it.
-Looks very realistic and they like the fact that i followed the rules and conventions of a real life professional magazine.
-They liked the thank you box on the contents page, which allowed them to think that i will be taking their ideas into account.
Overall Improvements/weaknessess
There wasn't as much weaknessess as strength, which is good as it shows that i did well, although the improvements and weaknessess that were said is:
-The double page spread could have had more images, and the interview could have gone into some detail
-The layout is not that different, it looks very plain. I should have made it more creative
-There is alot of different fonts on the contents page which makes it look a little bit confusing.
-The front cover could of have a bit more colours like that of the contents page
-The front cover could have had more styles and effects.
In addition to the question about whether they thought I had impoved, 100% of the feedback i recieved said that I had definatly made an improvement from my preliminary task, as my pages for that were very plain, but now it looks very professional. I was very pleased with these results. With the negative feedback I recieved I were to make another magazine I would take those points into considerations.
In conclusion I told them to put on a scale of 1-10, 1 bein g the lowest and 10 the hightest what they thought about ny magaizne and to my suprise, I did not recieve anything below 6 which I thought was very good
The questionnaire was the main thing that helped me create this magazine, as it allowed my targeted audience to say what they wanted to be in the magazine, this is what helped mecreate and build to make my own magazine.
