Target Audience Feedback-What have I learnt?

Throughout the whole process of making my magazine, I used audience feedback to gain new knowledge about my work, the feedback really helped because it was someone totally neutral viewing my work and giving my areas that were good and areas that could be improved. This was vital in my production process because the feedback made me never be happy with my work and always helped me improve my work even if I personally though that It was good enough. Before the production process I had to research my chosen target audience, I done a number of different tasks for this including the audience profiles. During the production process I also received feedback on all aspects of my work throughout, this again helped me see the negatives and positives in my work. After the production process I still wanted to get some feedback on the final products, the main thing I wanted to find out was if my target audience would actually buy my magazine themselves, I done this by doing an interview with someone from my target audience and also sending out emails to the girls who had already helped me at the start of the year by sending me over some information for their audience profiles, on the next slide is the feedback I received.

Email feedback- Gaby Banks (19)

‘I absolutely love the outcome, it looks so realistic and something I would definitely purchase myself. I love the quirky and slightly different style of the magazine, it really attracts me to it. The front cover is so fun!’

‘Wow! I am a massive fan of this issue, its so fun and different, I love Charlie J on the cover and throughout the magazine. I think the website is easy to use and a one I would regularly take a look at’

Email Feedback- Lauren Hepple (24)

From both the video interview and also email feedback, I learnt that all 3 girls would buy my magazine. This is exactly what I wanted to find out in my post production feedback because it proves that I have successfully targeted the correct age bracket and the work I have produced was perfect for them. I also found that they thought that they really loved how realistic my work was and also how I made certain areas and elements slightly different, this is something that this age want to see. The feedback I have received throughout the whole process of making my magazine along with the website and billboard has all significantly helped me improve my work and continued to make it better in all aspects. This shows how important feedback is and is something I will definitely use in the future.
