The document discusses feedback received from audiences on a newspaper production. The creator initially ignored feedback because they thought their work looked good, but realized feedback was crucial from the reader's perspective. Key feedback addressed improper text alignment with advertisements and masthead, which made the newspaper look unprofessional. Aligning elements in response to this feedback improved the professional appearance. Additionally, disturbing images used attracted readers and fulfilled their purpose of enticing people to read further.

Evaluation question 3
The author conducted a questionnaire to get audience feedback on what they wanted to see in a new newspaper. They used this feedback to develop the product and follow newspaper conventions. After creating the first issue, the author asked local residents to comment honestly on the layout, articles, masthead and images. Initially, the author ignored some of the critical feedback, but learned to see flaws from the reader's perspective. One key piece of feedback was that the text alignment with advertisements and masthead lacked professionalism. By addressing this, the front page gained a more polished look. Images received positive feedback for attracting readers, even if some found them disturbing.
Production diaries

In the fourth week, the student focused on problem-solving and considering potential issues that may arise during their project, such as unreliable models or technical problems, and how to prevent or address those issues.
Student Magazine Evaluation
We were tasked with creating a practice student magazine project to gain experience for an upcoming music project. Through research of existing student magazines, we found that many focused on stereotypes or used images that did not appeal to both male and female readers. To create a magazine that was different, the author conducted focus groups of fellow students to get input on content. Photoshop was used to layout and design the magazine, but challenges arose from the author's lack of experience with the software. Feedback was solicited to improve photo editing skills and produce a higher quality final product for the target audience.
7. evaluation
The document provides an evaluation of Bailey Dyble's magazine production project. It discusses the research, planning, and time management that went into the project. For research, Dyble looked at different magazine genres but ended up not using much of it. The planning involved creating a mood board to develop ideas since Dyble initially lacked a clear concept. Time management was a challenge as Dyble fell behind schedule due to the lack of an early idea and difficulties scheduling a photo shoot. The evaluation identifies areas like research, planning, and time management that could have been improved with a stronger initial idea and more focused execution.

Evaluation on main task
The student created a music magazine called "Tune" and planned various elements. For the front cover, they tried to use a large image but it didn't fit as planned due to the size. Audience feedback said the masthead was effective but the main story sell line could be improved. For the contents page, the student included a subscription/contact section based on research. Images were edited to black and white to match the color scheme. For a double page spread, the student placed the masthead at the bottom unexpectedly but audience feedback did not like this placement. Text on an image background was difficult to read initially but editing in Photoshop helped.

For the poster, front cover, and inside page, the author printed versions and asked for opinions, which identified successes like clear advertisements and a professional-looking front cover photograph, as well as areas for improvement like using larger fonts and only two news stories on the cover. The feedback helped the author strengthen the design and layout of the newspaper elements.
Feedback
Throughout creating a local newspaper for a coursework project, the document's author gathered feedback from their lecturer, family, and peers on the design elements. This feedback helped them choose the font, colors, logo and tagline that best fit the newspaper. When sharing the poster, front cover, and inside page, the feedback was generally positive and suggested some minor improvements like increasing certain font sizes. Collecting this audience feedback at various stages helped strengthen the different components of the newspaper.
3.Audience Feedback
The author created a local newspaper and used Facebook to get audience feedback. People provided positive feedback on the newspaper's masthead, cover page, and inside stories. However, some commented that the cover page could include an additional small story. Others noted there were too many advertisements. The author incorporated some of this feedback, such as adding another small story to the cover page, but did not reduce advertisements due to research showing other newspapers also use that format. The audience feedback helped the author understand what people demanded and improve their approach to creating the newspaper.

Erika gathered feedback from her target audience on magazine preferences. She created the magazine using InDesign and Photoshop, applying knowledge of positioning from real magazines. Erika used different fonts to create band names and got audience input on preferred fonts. While research and gathering feedback helped her creativity, she notes weaknesses in thoroughly documenting the audience involvement.
Writing copy evaluation
This document is a reflection by the author on several writing assignments they completed for a factual writing course, including a fanzine article, interview, and obituary about Liverpool footballer Steven Gerrard. For the fanzine article, the author felt they worked hardest on the product and found it easy to write in a chatty style for fans. The interview was quicker to complete but harder to layout, and reviewing work helped improve it. While the obituary was an interesting challenge to write in a formal style about a living person, time management was an issue and it was not fully completed. Overall the author felt they learned from the experience and could improve planning and reviewing their work in the future.

However, for the interview, the writer struggled with layout and time management, feeling they could have improved it with a second draft. They learned they need to pace themselves better and not assume tasks will be easy. Overall, the document evaluates the creative process, feedback, and lessons learned for both pieces.
Evaluation
Emma Taylor produced various drafts of assignments for a project, seeking feedback from peers to improve her work. For a fanzine task, minor changes were needed, but feedback on other tasks, like an interview and press release, helped her rewrite questions, cut unnecessary information, and arrange the text better. Overall, getting feedback helped her create higher quality work. While most tasks were completed on time, a tabloid story took longer to rewrite after unfavorable feedback. In the future, she plans to seek feedback sooner and from a wider group of peers.

Task 13
Galtung and Ruge proposed 11 news values that influence whether an event will be reported by the media: frequency, threshold, unambiguity, meaningfulness, consonance, unexpectedness, continuity, composition, reference to elite persons, reference to elite nations, and personalization. They argue that events that score high on several of these values, like celebrity gossip or disasters, are more likely to be deemed newsworthy and reported than events that score low, such as long-term issues. The theory aims to explain what drives media perceptions of newsworthiness.
Task 12
Poster adverts were analyzed to understand their effectiveness. Various elements were examined such as visual design, message framing, and use of images versus text.

Evaluation question 1
The student researched real newspaper conventions like masthead styles and front page content when developing their media product.

Evaluation question 3
- 1. What have you learned from your audience feedback?
- 2. As part of my research and planning I designed a questionnaire to ask audiences what they would most like to see featured in my newspaper. I used the results to help develop my product as well as the ordinary codes and conventions of a newspaper. After making my media productions I asked some local residents in Brent to comment on what they thought of the layout, the article, masthead, images and so on. I asked for 100% honest feedback including negative and positive feedback so I could understand what worked in the production and what needed some further development.
- 3. My comments on feedback Initially, when I read the feedback people gave me, I chose to ignore what they had said because I thought it looked good from my perspective as the creator. But when I imagined myself as a reader I started to pick out flaws that I couldn’t see before. I think gaining audience feedback was extremely useful and crucial for me and I was lucky enough to get feedback that was constructive criticism and helped me better my work. One main thing that I received feedback on was the alignment of my texts with the advertisements and the masthead. Before I had done this the newspapers did not have a professional look to it and it seemed as though the article had too much freedom. Whereas now, having rectified my errors, the front page looks more put together and proficient. Something that everyone liked were the images that I used. Even though they may be seen as disturbing images to some people, negative stories and images are what attract readers and that is why I chose to put it on the front so it would lure readers in and they would want to go and to read the article and maybe even the rest of the newspaper.
