7. FEEDBACK
From the peer feedback on my initial idea’s the most popular music genre for my
magazine was folk.
They preferred this genre because they believed that this idea was more developed
than the others, and I had a better idea of what I wanted to do.
They also said that I needed to change the audience for my magazine to more females
because of the feminine features of the magazine, they also suggested that I lowed the
target age range of the magazine.
Another thing which they suggested needed changing was the colours used in the
house style to more lighter pastel colours because they believe that those colours suit the
genre of music better.
