Question 5 - Audience Feedback

 To get an appropriate feedback, I concluded my 6 questions on a website called "www.monkeysurvey.com" and asked 13 people to complete my survey as I needed feedback on produced magazine. The results seems to be quite accurate. I have asked people who resemble my target audience by age (teens to young adults) with 3 people who are over 18 and the rest who are under 18 to fill out my survey through Facebook by sending them the link to my
questions (https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/SVPRY9H)

Above these questions was an image of my front cover, for the first question, I have asked people if it looks like a music magazine as it can somehow appear like a magazine of a different genre to another person. The results for this particular question was positive - 92.31% of people said that it looks like a music magazine whereas 7.69% said it doesn't. The reason why it might not look like a music magazine is because the model doesn't look like an artist or musician and no instrumental symbols are used in the front cover.

 My next question was "What genre do you think it is?" the majority said that it was Dubstep meaning that the magazine successfully appeals to my desired target audience, however some answered that my magazine is a Jazz and a Pop magazine. To increase the percentage for ''Dubstep'' I should have made it more clear like adding a darker colour theme such as black and neon as those colours associate with the dubstep genre. However, Chillstep resembles closely with Dubstep and Pop, meaning that the percentage of people thinking it's a pop magazine could also be my target audience although one person skipped this question meaning that only 12 answered.

 My third question was "Is my magazine eye-catching?"  This particular question also has positive responses as 92% of people agree with my question and believe that it would easily catch their attention. Not everyone believed it was eye-catching enough so in order to make it more eye catching I would have to improve my colour theme by making it brighter and busier. I could also make it more eye-catching by enlarging the puffs as they might not be as visible as I initially thought.

I asked another question which was "Do you think my magazine is successful?" and 12/13 people thought that my design was successful whilst one person wasn't sure about how successful it was.On the other hand, no people said that my design was unsuccessful which means that I managed to make it appealing enough to my target audience.

For this question, only 12 people answered as one person have skipped this question. I asked people "What do you like most about the design?" to find out what they think is successful about my design in particular.  Majority believed that they liked the image following by 3 people who liked the masthead and 2 people who liked the graphics and the title. One person commented that they like the layout. This suggests that my target audience would find my magazine quite appealing in many different ways. As the Image turned out to be most successful, I could improve it by making it more engaging.

Finally, my last question was about fashion. I wanted to know if my model looked fashionable in my target audience's eyes as I researched trends and the 'hipster' style to relate more to my readers. Fortunately, 11/13 people believed that my model was fashionable whilst other two people were either not sure or thought she wasn't trendy enough. In order to improve this, I could make it more obvious that I was aiming for a hipster style by adding a beanie hat, headphones, black lipstick and a different coat.
