Are you Female or Male?

I asked this question So that I could make

sure I had a split even number of both sexes,

This was because the magazine I have created

is aimed at both sexes. This means the

audience feedback will be more fair.

Do you fit into the age

range of 16-25?

Yes No

I asked this question, as this age range is the

target audience for my music magazine. This was

important that the people answering the

questionnaire was in this age range. As asking

someone younger or older could make the results of

the questionnaire not fair as the magazine is not

aimed at that age.

What Genre of music would

you say this music

magazine is for?The reason I asked this question was because I wanted

to see how my final product actually was viewed by my

target audience. This made me see what genre the

audience thought the magazine I had created was. In

the end 19 out of 20 got the genre right. This is

quite a success as shows I could produce a magazine

which represents a genre well.

As one of the questions on the

evaluation is ‘How did you

attract/address your audience? ‘ I then chose this

question so I could see what actually did attract my

audience the most when looking at my magazine cover. I

only said Cover, as in the shop that’s the first thing

the public would see and be attracted to. Overall, The

cover image got 10 ( the highest) vote. I think this is

because I chose quite a professional photograph. The

colours got 6 and Free gift got 4.

bigger so that they

stand out more, as they

would appeal to me”

doesn’t fit in on the

page”

This question is important, this is because, If you

got the pricing wrong for a magazine, this could

effect your profit and the size of the audience. In

my case, 15/20 said that the price was a reasonable

price to pay, This means that for £2 most people

would purchase my magazine.

To finish off my questionnaire I used this

question, the whole Idea of creating this music

magazine cover, double page spread and contents

page, was so that It look real enough to be pulled

off as a professional magazine. So I wanted to see

if my target audience thought it did look like

one. All 20 said that they thought my magazine

looked like a professional magazine, this is very

positive and good.

ConclusionOverall I feel like I got a very

successful and useful feedback from my

target audience. This is because I

found out what attracted my audience

to the music magazine, If they thought

it looked professional and what they

would change in a mist of other

things. These were good questions as

they will help me evaluate my media

product and compare to my Priestley

magazine.

However, one thing looking back on this audience

feedback, my main questions were on the front cover

and I didn’t include questions on my other pages.

This is something that could have helped. However the

reason I didn’t, was because when going into a shop

you don’t look through all the pages you look at the

front cover as it is the first thing that is seen and

normally the first thing that makes an impact. Like

the front of house of a restaurant. Although I say

this, I still think my questionnaire was reliable and

useful and definitely showed me the public view on it
