Feedback from Questionnaire

I a questionnaire to get feedback from at least five of my peers on my magazine. The twelve questions were:
  • who has it been created for?
  • what kind of magazine is being promoted?
  • what does the frotn cover tell you about the contents of the magazine?
  • how attarctive is the frotn cover?
  • is there a wide enough contents listing?
  • is the feature article interesting?
  • do the images and text in the feature article fit?
  • how attractive is the magazine as a whole?
  • does it meet the conventions of a music magazine?
  • would you pick up the magazine and read it if you found it on the train?
  • would you buy it?

I asked my peers for feedback on the magazine using the above questions. I thought it was the best kind of feedback i could have received because they have the same perspective as me, however different taste therefore different opinions and better chances of ending up with a successful magazine.

Feedback of my magazine showed that they would pick up the magazine and even possibly buy it which shows that my magazine was a success overall. Furthermore the people that assessed the magazine with the questionnaire recognised what the magazine was created for, the intended target audience and the genre.

All of my interviewees said that there was a wide enough variety in the contents page and that most conventions were met noting that there was nothing necessary to add. Some of my interviewees verbally said that my contents listing was 'excellent'. The questionnaire further showed that the images, photographs and text fit perfectly to the rest of my magazine as a whole and that they were very interesting which is another point where my magazine met the typical conventions of a magazine.

Overall, my magazine is seen as a success in terms of creation; i recieved very positive feedback from most of the them, although on the rare where i asked people verbally wether the magazine was good i was told that it wasn't, however with the exception of my magazine not appealing to those particular people. Siginificantly i also recieved feedback that showed me my magazine was very eye-catching and mostly appealed to them in comparison the the draft version of my magazine; male peers said that the previous magazine did not appeal to them becasue of the colours especially becasue of the colours which were very girly, however now it is very appealing and is seen as a high standard magazine.

On the whole i believe my magazine, acquire the typical conventions fo a magazine that is aimed on the genre of R'n'B. Nonetheless i think that the conventions of my magazine is a way that i attracted my target audience. I think what i could improve with my feedback is asking more people and even adults above my target audience because then i could find out what they would have looked fro in a music magazine if it were for their age group.
