Audience Feedback On My Product

Below is some audience feedback on my final product which I gained through:

-Posting my magazine on Facebook and receiving comments
-Classmates who gave feedback on my magazine via post it notes

Personal commentary on criticism:

"I don't like Ed Sheeran won't appeal to your audience, don't use serif fonts either"
- This is the reason I chose such a controversial pull quote as I am aware it is one of which my reader will have many views on and want to find out more to why Florence and the machine said such a negative comment, so will get the magazine in order to find out the context. I included a serif font which is generally a big NO in media to emphasis the more controversial pull quote and to make the cover look more quirky.
"I Couldn't read the April easily"
- I am aware that putting an Arrow through the letters does make the text harder to read ;however this is the risk which I took in order to  make it look more appealing similar to 'Ke$ha' as it makes the artists name look more quirky and Indie which will appeal to my audience.
"Fonts different sizes on DPS"
-This was also intentional to make the most important quotes to stand out on the page e.g. "I am the luckiest girl in the world" was made one size larger as this is something which will lure in the audience to read the full article, this isn't challenging conventions too much as I have seen other magazines do this also through my research and planning.
"The magazine is a bit feminine, I wouldn't buy it personally"
-My audience would be young women, hence why a man wouldn't wish to purchase it for himself. which means that I did well at attracting the desired audience and reflecting particular social groups.
Overall, I feel as though my audience feedback was predominantly positive which gives me confidence in my product.

Q7) Progression From My Preliminary Task To My Full Product

Here is a voice over which I created using Adobe Voice in which I look back at my preliminary task of a college magazine and talk about how I feel I have developed my skills from the progression from it to the full product of my Indie etc. magazine, looking at the four key areas which are:
-Photos
-Fonts
-Layout
-Modes of address.
Overall, I feel as though a clear progression has been made and would now say that I am performing at a much higher level in regards to construction.

Q6) What I Have Learnt About Technologies Through Constructing My Product

Here is a Prezi document discussing how I have developed my understandings of technologies such as Photoshop and Blogger over the course of the year. Skills such as Depth of field when taking pictures on the Cannon DSLR to reverting to drafts on the platform Blogger.

Q5) How I Attracted My Audience

I created a video in which I discussed how my media product attracts my target audience of young women who are into Indie Music.

Q4) Who Would Be The Audience For My Media Product

Here is a target audience profile I created as an annotated image board to reflect the interests of my target audience, ranging from music taste to fashion choices. Predominantly women would purchase my magazine as the content within is aimed towards them with the colour scheme, articles and images. As my magazine is of an Indie pop genre mainly young adults would be interested as they can relate far more to this idea of concerts and gigs unlike the elderly and youthful age groups. To accustom this niche young female target audience I made the content more diverse to ensure I attract everyone within the category featuring music, fashion, advise, etc.

Q3) What Kind Of Media Institution Might Distribute My Media Product

I discuss which magazine publication company would be best placed to publish my magazine and also a couple ways in which I would distribute my media product.

Q2) How Does My Media Product Represent Particular Social Groups

I analysed the picture of the main artist on my magazine- focused on costume. showed how the mise-en-scene is similar to a conventional magazine cover image and talked about how I may or may not have conformed to stereotypes.
