Front cover comparisons

Survey feedback

• When I thought I completed my magazine I did a survey to find out my target audience’s opinions – the feedback I got back was mixed.

BEFOREThis is my magazine before I had made any changes that my target audience recommended.

Their opinions--“I like the image but I just feels that it is too crowded” Qainaat Aftab (Age 16)

-“I think the contrast of the image is too yellow” – Rebecca Phillip (Age 17)

-”I don’t really like the colour schemes, I think the yellow is too overpowering” – Feroz Hassan (Age 19)-

Respond to Feedback

• By taking this feedback on board, I was able to produce a media product that would entic my target audience.

AFTERThis is the changes that I made after the feedback I had received. When I finished it, I asked my target audiences opinion on which cover they preferred.

-”I like the contrast of the main image, it give a indie/ rock vibe to the magazine” Jordan Deacon (Age 18)

-”The layout is good, it is neatly aligned to one side of the page. This adds a good ratio between the main image and the text” Firdowsi Rahman (Age 20)

-”The cover lines, would definitely make me want to buy the magazine!” Hamza Hassan (Age 16)

Conclusion

• From this survey, I was able to identify the faults with my product and realised how I can effectively target my audience. The new cover looks more professional and not to crowded. The old cover, I didn’t like the contrast used on the main image, this didn’t send the right connotations for my magazine.
