Q5 for work

Overall, the feedback was positive and showed that the concepts, genres, and target demographics were clearly portrayed. However, some adjustments could be made based on the feedback, such as changing the target age range to 16-25 instead of 15-25, adding the price and publication date to the cover, and making social media links and boxed text more prominent. The creator was pleased with most of the positive feedback but planned to implement some of the suggested changes to improve the magazine further.

Pitch
Lucy Fleming has decided to name her new music magazine "Beat" because it suggests music and genres like R&B and pop. She chose a color scheme of purple, black, and white based on a survey that found these were popular colors for magazines. Based on the survey results that found most readers were willing to spend around £2, the magazine will be priced at £2. The target audience is teenagers and young adults aged 15-20, as the survey respondents were in this age range and most likely to be interested in pop and R&B music. The magazine will focus on pop and R&B genres as the survey found pop was most popular and these genres appeal to a broad audience.

Audience research.
- 5. Reflection After conducting my questionnaire I have concluded that in order to reach the target audience intended for the magazine (approx 16-25 years) I would price the magazine at about £2 as this is not too little to be realistic, yet is in the category of which the majority chose that they would like to pay for a music magazine. I will also make the name of the magazine one worded as this is sharp and straight to the point. In the questionnaire the majority of people asked said that the headlines as well as the general look of the magazine attracted them most to buy or look at it, taking this information into consideration I will try to make the headlines stand out as much as possible, as well as trying to make the overall appearance of the magazine looking simple, yet informative, appropriate for the audience and exciting!
