Blog 10 - Feedback.

I set up an interview and asked many different people to complete the questionaire.

I first interviewed Kayleigh Sell.

My questions in bold. The Interviewee is in normal font.

Front page;

My magazine is targetted to 12-16 year olds, do you think that the target audience is right? Yes.

Why? Because the magazine talks about what kids aged 12-16 are into. Also, its bright, colourful and attractive.

Do you think it appeals to teenage girls? Yes.

Why? Because it holds things which teenage girls look at.

Which working class to you think i should have put it in? (lower, middle, higher) Middle classed.

Why? No comment.

What do you like about it? (positive feedback) Its attractive. Attracts my attention. The theme is entertaining. Interesting subjects are discussed. Pictures are good quality and good use of attractive people which fit well for the genre. The layout is crowded, which makes it interesting and able to appeal to the audience.

What do you think i should improve? Include programme actors which are popular amongst teenagers. Example; programmes like torchwood, glee etc. Instead of just musicians.

Any other comments? No.

Double page spread;

My magazine is targetted to 12-16 year olds, do you think the target audience is right by the double page spread? Yes.

Why? Because of the colours, the layout, and the fonts used. These are what appeal to the audience the most.

The images attached to this blog is a powerpoint of feedback comments in which I recieved from facebook. I have screencapped the powerpoint slides in order to paste them onto this blog. Recieving feedback from those who are signed up to facebook. These comments giving positive and negative feedback which is needed to help me in order to make the magazine better. Just like other magazines which are sold in stores. Without critism, they wouldn't know what to improve, so to recieve this is good.

I am aware that powerpoints are able to upload to blogs but unfortunately, I have attempted to upload my powerpoint but it is refusing to upload.
