evaluation of audience feedback


Audience feedback

From audience feedback I’ve been told they think the layout and colour of my magazine represents the genre which is R’n’B and they think the audience for my magazine is directed at people of a black ethnicity mainly, both male and female and for teenagers and they were represented a positive light. I’m happy with those comments as that was the target audience I had in mind.
They felt my magazine was affordable for people who work and for students and for people with a normal lexis level which is exactly what I was trying to do. They said they really like the contents page. They like the layout and the way the 'UB' is faded into the background and how the pictures are used. It looks professional and it is easy to understand.

However they said they like it overall but if any changes could be made they would of edited the DPS picture to make sure the background looks even and use auto fix to make the lighting even because it is a bit light. They love the contents page so I wouldn't change anything. On the front cover they would make the text of teasers bigger and change the font as well. Perhaps make the masthead bigger. They think the colour scheme works really well together. I took my audience feedback into consideration and changed the things they said to however I couldn’t darken the area of the picture on the DPS so I had to leave it how it is. Overall i am happy with the audience feedback as it helped me to improve my magazine.

What do you think i can improve ?

Which elements of my magazine do you like?

what social group does my magazine represent and is it negative or positive?

Who is the target audience for my magazine ?

dps final draft



I changed the font of the title to match my front page and made the quote bigger so it catches the readers eye.

contents final draft


I changed 2 of the photographs on my contents page as i thought they fit better with my magazine, i also changed the font that contents, editors note, regulars and features to fit with the masthead on my front page. I also got rid of my fashion section as i realised it didn't fit in with my music magazine and added album reviews instead. On each picture i wrote a short sentence about what their part is in the magazine.


I changed the picture of the singer as i feel the pose she is doing fits better on the contents page than the other picture.


I used this picture to replace the other one because the other picture i had was for the fashion section which i got rid of so i thought this photo fit perfectly for my music magazine.
