The document outlines Leah's initial ideas for three magazine genres - pop music, dance music, and indie music. Leah's audience provided feedback on each idea to help her decide which to pursue. For the pop music idea, they felt the crowded cover and focus on boy bands would attract the target teenage audience. For the dance music idea, they noted dance music's growth and wider potential audience through remixed older songs appealing to both young and old. They liked the proposed name "Udance". Ultimately, based on the audience feedback, Leah decided to develop her dance music magazine idea called "Udance", finding it had the widest potential appeal across age groups.

9. Audience critique and feedback
My audience analyzed my pop magazine idea by saying it…
- has a big target audience
- a crowded front cover is god because it attracts their
attention
- boy bands are good for attracting target audience
- Needs a better name (loop is best)
- Lot of young girls out there, and more likely to buy
magazines because they don’t spend money on other, adult
things.
10. Audience critique and feedback
My audience analyzed my dance magazine idea by saying …
- dance music has grown
- Should have a wider audience because older songs are now
remixed to make new dance remixes.
- Like the name Udance
- Young and old are likely to buy
11. Audience critique and feedback
My audience analyzed my indie magazine idea by saying …
- There is a huge audience, yet less likely to buy because all
over youtube.
- To plain, needs bribes on the cover
- Good colours
- Contents page idea is too young/immature/unoriginal
- Age range needs to be higher
- Simple and weird look is effective and attractive.
