A focus group provided useful feedback to a magazine creator on how to appeal to their target audience. The focus group, which was within the target age range, recommended using picture-based double spreads rather than text-based ones and suggested using blues, greens and reds as colors. The creator found the focus group beneficial and effective as it informed changes to make the magazine more appealing based on the opinions of potential readers.

1. Focus group analysis
I found that with having a focus group, it was beneficial as it filled me in the aspects
that I was unsure about. The people in the focus group where in the age range of my
target audience so I was able to get an effective feedback session that would relate
to other peoples opinion in the age group. They answered questions like if the
double spread of my magazine should be text based or picture based and they said
picture based as it would be more appealing to them. They also answered the kind of
colour that I should use and they said blues and greens and reds. I think that the
focus group was successful and effective due to the fact that they gave me their
opinion which could be beneficial to the changes I make in my music magazine.
