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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

Yes No
I asked this question as It would make
me aware If the target audience had the
choice, If they would change anything
on the magazine to perhaps make it
more appealing to them or better in
their eyes.
IF YES, WHY? (answers)
“I would make the Glastonbury
photos bigger so that they stand
out more, as they would appeal to
me”
“I would get rid of the yellow flower
thing behind the main coverline. I
just think it looks a bit tacky and
doesn’t fit in on the page”
“ I think I would make the Free CD
sign a bit bigger because It looks
cool”

attract my audience and
make them want to purchase
the magazine to get the free
gift. Overall, 12/20 said they
would be encouraged to buy
the magazine because of the
free gift. This shows that
putting the free gift
on, would boost more people
to purchase my magazine

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.

Yes No
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.

12. CONCLUSION
Overall 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 not just my own.
