Audience Feedback

I showed my magazine to the Art Director at MOJO music magazine and he approved of my magazine saying it was 'brilliant'. He said that my feature was 'jazzy' and the writing was a 'good size' and even though the writing wasn't in perfect columns, this layout would appeal to my target audience of females aged between 12-17 years old; this was because a girl of such a such age wouldn't want to be swamped with text. The pictures and the fun style of the feature is more relaxed and much easier to digest.
I also showed my magazine to my 10 year old male cousin. He said the 'pictures were nice' and it is very 'colourful' however, being a boy, he said he wouldn't buy the magazine as it is 'too pretty and pink'. Although this piece of feedback was essentially negative towards my magazine, it made me feel more confident that I had correctly targetted my target audience.
My 12 year old cousin, Chiara also took a look at the magazine- I did this knowing that it was her age group at which the magazine was targetted. She said she 'liked all the artists involved' in the magazine and the pictures 'were pretty and nice'. She also commented on how she liked the extra features not associated with music including the make-up, fashion and quizzes. This was very positive feedback.
The ex-Media teacher in Camden School for Girls, Ms Camillo looked at my magazine and said it looked 'extremely realistic and very technical'. She liked the use of colour and the front cover picture as the 'eye line match makes it feel as if Lulu is looking directly at us.
I showed the rest of my class my magazine in a presentation and Billy Cape said 'the professional style has really been captured' and said that I have 'been able to combine a great literary feature with an intelligent, bright design'. Kendra said it was 'great!'.
With the wide range of feedback I have gathered, through my questionnaire and the people who have seen my magazine, I can safely say that I have successfuly created a magazine which appeals to my target audience of girls between the ages of 12 to 17. The choices I have made with reference to the design and the content of my magazine have been well chosen to meet my expectation.
