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.

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.

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”

encouraged to buy the 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 Priestleymagazine.
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.
