2. This presentation displays the results of
the questionnaire that I presented to
the target audience of both male and
females between the ages of 15-25. The
aim of this was to get feed back on the
first drafts of my music magazine in
order to show where improvements
are needed.
3. The answers to this question where similar and most people
thought the overall look and theme of the magazine was good
and fitted with the genre with good photos. People also
commented on the simple layout and colour scheme I chose
saying they thought it worked well and also made it obvious it
was an indie music magazine. This means it will appeal to the
target audience and means they are likely to buy the
magazine.
4. All the answers to this were positive meaning each person
thought the colour scheme worked well for the genre. Many
reasons for this were because it is gender neutral which
means there is no gender stereotype so both males and
females interested in the indie genre would be drawn to the
magazine due to the colour scheme.
5. As the pie chart shows most people thought the
photos taken for the magazine where suitable for
the magazine with 15% saying they could be better.
This shows that the photos taken appealed to the
majority or the target audience. This shows that even
though the photos are good there is room for
improvement that I will take into consideration in
future projects & when I am improving my
magazine.
6. Results of this question show that the magazine
mostly fits in to the Belongings needs on Maslow’s
hierarchy of needs showing that the magazine
gives the feel that the reader is of equal status as
the model on the magazine. This would appeal to
the audience as people of the indie genre do not
look for role models but for something they can
relate to.
7. This shows that the magazine does not give an opinion and is
more factual meaning the reader has to form there own
opinion. This would appeal to the target audience as they are
controversial and prefer to have their own opinion than be
told what there opinion should be. In comparison to other
genres for example pop. A pop magazines audience are
usually younger and looking for role models who the can
copy and therefore value there opinion and change there
opinion to fit what the magazine says. There is on anomaly in
the results as one person has said that the magazine has
changed there opinion but as it is only one person it will be
overlook as more people have said otherwise.
8. Most people have said that the article, which is an
interview with an artist, does fit with the genre. As
before there is one person who has disagreed with
this therefore this will also not have an effect on
my magazine as the majority believe the article
does fit with the magazine
9. Many people felt it would be necessary to add a
bar code to the cover of the magazine in order to
show the price so when I am improving my
magazine I will add this to make it more appealing
to the audience and also easier for them to see the
cost of the magazine as this would make it more
likely for them to buy the magazine.
10. The answers shown her provide evidence that the magazine
does not give an opinion and is mostly factual which would
appeal to audience as it means they can form their own
opinion from the information given. This is a positive factor
and means no change needs to be made to this when I am
improving my magazine.
11. The feedback I got about the mast head on the cover was
that the font could be bigger so it stands out more. This
will be something I look at improving when I next work
on my magazine.
12. To make the front cover more interesting many said
that more fonts could be used to make it more eye
catching the next most popular answer was that
there could be more sizes of font. I will use these
ideas and see how the look when I improve my
magazine as this may help it look more interesting
and attract the target audience.
13. Many felt the contents page was messy and therefore
meant it did not look as good as it could therefore I will
look at the order and size of the text and make sure it is
in proportion with rest of the magazine and try to make
it look neater so it gives the contents page a better look.
14. At the moment the quote on the contents page is squashed
in the top left corner and most people thought it should be
a different layout so I will try and change it so it ills the
space on the left side of the model next to his head. This
may make it look neater which will also help the contents
look better and more appealing to the audience.
15. The name “Josh Newell” will be made bigger so it stands
out over the rest of the headline as the majority of
people have said that it would look better. Also this will
make it more clear who the article is about and catch the
readers eye making them more interested.
16. When looking at improving the double page spread I will be
sure to try out many different looks as there was a mix of
responses and therefore I will try them all before I chose
which looks best.
17. Most people said they would probably buy the magazine if
they saw it in a shop and most would recommend it to a
friend. This means it appeals to the audience but
improvements are needed to make it of a professional
standard.
18. Overall the results I got were positive which
suggests my magazine is of good quality. Most
of the improvements that will be made are
small and will add a added bit of detail that
will improve the overall look of the magazine
and will make it more appealing to the target
audience.
I will take into consideration use the result
from the audience profile when improving my
magazine to make sure what the target
audience want is in my magazine and so it will
attract the target audience and is of a
professional standard.
