After I had completed my final magazine, I asked 30 people a few quick questions about their thoughts relating to my magazine. I asked their opinions on the target audience they thought I was aiming to appeal to, if they feel my target audience would buy my magazine, anything they feel I could do to improve my magazine and finally, anything they enjoyed about my magazine.
What do you feel would be the target audience acoustic was best suited for?
80% of my feedback audience said my my magazine would be best suited for females around the 16 - 20 age range; the remaining 20% suggested my magazine was best suited for a mixture of both males and females between the ages of 16 - 20.
Do you feel my magazine would appeal best to 16 - 24 year old females?
90% agreed that my magazine would best suit this target audience and the remaining 10% believed my magazine would be best suited to be aimed at both males and females within this age bracket.
Do you think I could have made any improvements to my magazine?
My feedback audience gave a variety of different tasks in which I could change to improve my magazine, these included:
- use a block coloured background for my front cover as the background can drag attention away from my cover lines
- use a variety of models
- use different sized fonts more throughout the magazine
What did you enjoy best about my magazine?
My feedback audience suggested a number of key things they liked from my pages of my magazine, including:
- "I like that the artists name on the front cover is bigger than the title of the magazine"
- "I like that you used the same colour throughout your magazine"
- "I like that your feature image on the front cover is looking at the audience"
