Audience Feedback of Final Magazine

To find out about what other people thought of my magazine, I asked two people to take this audience feedback record sheet and make their comments about my magazine.

Comments from Audience 1

"I like the colours used throughout the magazine. I also feel as if I can look up to the artist featured. The colours andn artists the rock genre really well, but I dont really think I can see how Indie music is incorporated into it"

About Audience 1

Her name is Fiona, she is 17, loves going out to gigs,favourite music is indie/alternative music,lives in a small town.

Reflection on results from Audience 1

I asked Fiona to look at my magazine and fill out my feedback sheet because she's the type of audience that i'm aimed my magazine at. From these results I've found out although I incorperated the rock genre into my magazine, I havent done as much for Indie. I think that the style of my magazine (colour, masterhead) is in style as a rock magazine, however the artricles that it features focuses on both genres. Fiona also agreed that my front cover was the weakest element of my magazine, I'm disapointed in this because I feel as if I tried so hard to try and make it work, but I don't think it looks as professional as the other elements of my magazine. However she did say that she liekd tthe artist and felt that she could look up to her, I think that is a good result bercause many girls need role models to look up to.


Audience 2 Comments

"I love the conents and double page, because they look like you would actually see them in a proper magazine. The front cover is alright but I think its the colour or something that just isn't right with this front cover. I like the contents page becaue it actually made me wanna see some of the magazine articles, and I really like the interview because she seems like a well cool girl. But yeah overall I think its good."


About Audience 2

His name is David and he is 23, he lives in a small town, goes out clubbing and also is going to festivals this summer. Rock and dubstep are his favourite genre's music.

Reflection on Results from Audience 2

I decided to ask David for feedback because although hie like dubstep, he still liked rock msuic and is 23. This gives me the chance to find out about what people think who also have other music intrests and also in a higher age band. He also thinks that the front cover is not as strong as the other which I already know, but at least it shows that its not just me thinking that it doesn't look right. I think if I had more times I would definitly change my front cover. He talked about how he liked my contents page because it made him want to read the articles. This is good because thats what I wanted from the contents so that intrigues the audience to go and read the artcles. He also said how he like the artists, this is good because I wanted her to look edgy but also approachable and rewlatable to the audience.

Overall thoughts

Overall I think that although both audience aggreed that the front cover wasnt at the strongest, they both thought that the artist was relatable in some way. They also agreed that the text is as if they are talking to a friend and also think that the magazine represents the rock genre well, but maybe should incorperate the indie genre more. Overall I'm pleased with the feeback that I got because it helps me realise that what I've done wrong and understand how I could improve my magazine to be the best that I could make it.
