Audience feedback results

Question 5
The document discusses how the author addressed their target audience for a dance music magazine through various design elements and content choices. Through research, the target audience was identified as 18-year olds interested in dance music. To appeal to this audience, the author used vivid photography of similar-aged models, trends like polaroids and affordable branded clothing. The price and monthly frequency were designed to be affordable. Interviews were prioritized over reviews per the audience. The artist on the cover and focus on house music addressed reader preferences. Color scheme and free gift incentives also appealed to the target audience. Location mentions like festivals and clubs addressed the reader personally.
My focus group
The document outlines plans for an indie/alternative music magazine, including naming it "InD" or "Alt.", article ideas, a double-page festival spread, featured bands, a £2 price point, and a pastel color scheme. Feedback from a focus group was positive about the magazine name, article ideas, festival spread, bands, and lower price compared to competitors. They suggested a band photo on the cover related to an article and printed t-shirts as free items. Most agreed pastel colors would make the magazine stand out visually from competitors.
As evaluation 1 and 2
This document summarizes a music magazine created by the author called "Baseline". The magazine uses conventions similar to real music magazines like Q magazine, such as a consistent house style across issues using similar colors and fonts. It also uses typical magazine features like a headline, masthead, and barcode on the front cover to familiarize audiences. While using these conventions, the author believes the magazine's design and style is influenced by genres it represents like pop and R&B through a confident front cover image. The magazine aims to represent teenage artists and fans positively by featuring a teenage singer, and presents teenage girls as independent and successful rather than dependent or emotional. It also plays on stereotypes of female gossip to potentially catch readers' attention.
Audience feedback

The magazine was also felt to accurately represent the indie genre based on the cover artist and featured articles.

Audience research: results and conclusions
Kate Constable conducted audience research to inform the planning of a new rock music magazine. She surveyed mainly females ages 16-21 about their music preferences, buying habits, and opinions on design elements. The results showed a preference for rock and pop music, with black, red and grey as favored colors. Most respondents never buy music magazines but would pay £1-3. Inspired by popular magazines like Kerrang, the new magazine will feature a variety of rock artists and bands to appeal to different rock fans.

- The most popular music bands were Foo Fighters and Arctic Monkeys, so the magazine will feature them while also including a variety of other genres.
- The primary focus will be indie music but will reference other popular genres like pop and rock.
- Since most people access information online, the magazine will include social media and website links.

5 reasons why spreadsheet based risk management systems don’t work
Spreadsheet-based risk management systems are prone to errors and do not provide the functionality needed to effectively manage risks. They require manual data input, which is time-consuming and error-prone. Analysis and simulations are limited and inflexible to changing business needs. As portfolios grow, spreadsheets slow down and cannot be scaled. Automation of key risk processes is not possible. Spreadsheets result in a passive rather than responsive approach to risk management. While low-cost, spreadsheets provide a false sense of security and increase long-term costs of risk management. Dedicated risk management systems are needed to properly manage risks.

The next day, Sophie sets up cameras but the footage only shows minor suspicious movements. They decide to stay longer. Doors start slamming and they review more footage showing James standing over Michaela's sleeping body. Sophie wants to leave but when they tell James what they saw, the story cuts to scenes of someone screaming, Libby found dead, Sophie crawling scared, and the group trying to escape a locked door as tension builds and one of them nears death.

The document provides guidance for creating different media types - a trailer, poster, and magazine cover - for a horror film project.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

Target audience
- 2. questionnaires… • • • I produced a range of questionnaires to find out what my target audience liked, found appealing, their interests were, their favourite bands and then basic things like their gender and age. This helped me gain feedback on what features I should include in my magazine, what colours and font styles to use and who to mainly aim it towards. I found out that my main target audience were males and females, teenagers and young adults. All of them like indie/rock artists such as Red hot chilli peppers, Coldplay, Kings of Leon and Biffy Clyro. This helped me relate back to what I found myself when I did research into magazines and make my magazine more appealing and conventional. I asked my target audience what their hobbies were and most of them said that they enjoy listening to music and when they have the time to they listen to it every day, they also enjoy watching television and meeting up with their friends. This is good because it fits in well with the psychographic of the target audience for NME magazine and also my magazine. They said that they would like to see bold colours/fonts, a bold masthead and images of artists that they are interested in. Finding out this feedback was good because it meant that I could then make sure that I included all the features in my own magazine, therefore making it appealing. Most of them said they do buy NME magazine, this helps me as this is the magazine that I am basing my own magazine on.
- 3. These results helped me make sure that my magazine was appealing towards my target audience. By asking them what the expected to see in an indie rock magazine, what they found appealing and what aspects of my magazine they liked. I found out that they liked bands such as Kings of Leon, arctic monkeys and red hot chili peppers. They also liked the colours black, white and red, so I made sure that I used these colours in my magazine to make it more appealing. I also made sure that the articles were based around bands that they liked. By finding out what they liked on my own magazine it made sure that my product was conventional and appealing, so it was successful.
- 4. work in progress… To make sure that I was producing my magazine to appeal to my target audience I created a question asking questions such as ‘what have I improved the most since my first draft for my front cover’ and so on for my double page spread and contents page. I also asked them to answer what I still need to improve on. This allowed me to gain valuable information on how to make my magazine more conventional and appealing to my target audience.
- 5. front cover… • • • The feedback for my questionnaire told me that my images, font, layout and colours used were conventional on my front cover. They also said that the new image I have used is more suitable for indie and the writing has changed to look more conventional, therefore looking more appealing. However, it was suggested that I change some of the black writing to white to make it look more professional, easier to read and more appealing to my target audience. This is something that I made sure I did in my final product. Final product First draft Second draft
- 6. contents page… • The feedback for my questionnaire told me that my images, font, layout and colours used were conventional on my contents page. • They also said that my new layout was much more clearer and more information had been included, which is something my target audience found appealing and stereotypical. • Beforehand there were too many images, and this is something that I made sure I changed, as this is an aspect that my target audience did not find appealing. Final product Rough first draft
- 7. double page spread… • The feedback for my questionnaire told me that my images, font, layout and colours used were conventional on my double page spread. • They also said that they liked the image that was used on this page, they thought it was appealing and appropriate for an indie rock magazine. People also said that they liked the font used for the masthead and that the interview/article text is also conventional. • However, it was said that I should consider adding a pull quote and caption to my double page spread, and this is something that I made sure I did. Meaning my double page spread would be more appealing to my target audience. Final product First draft
