Evaluation Question 3

What have you learned from getting audience feedback?

I think that getting feedback from my audience was extremely important in the creation of my media products as getting this feedback told me what people in my target audience would like to see in my magazine, it also gave me insight into what kind of things they were interested in. This led me to think about the way I designed my products. As you can see throughout my blog I was constantly making changes to improve my product, such as changing the layout to make the magazine look more professional. Recieving audience feedback also gave me a lot of ideas to experiment with the conventions that I already had. Some of the feedback also reassured me that I was going in the right direction, for example I recieved this feedback on my double page spread. 

This feedback was very helpful because it meant that I didn't have to change it anymore and that my target audience approved of the style I was working with.

By analysing the feedback I recieved and making the changes that I felt were important (based on how many times they appeared in the feedback). I learned a lot from what my audience said about my project and in the end this caused me to create what I feel was a professional looking magazine and website. This also caused my products to be successful in appealing to my target audience as I was designing it to meet their requests

This is the reader profile I created for my magazine (I have since changed the magazine name to 'Northern Rock') I created this profile for my readers as they are my primary target audience and understanding what they like is important because it helps me design products that appeal to their needs and interests. 

  

My audience feedback also had an effect on the colour scheme and overall design of all of my products. I chose the colours I did due to the conventions of the genre as research has shown these are the colours my target audience like. I then added green/blue at the request for some more colour from my audience and in the end this helped as the colour could be used for a lot over all platforms. 

After I had almost finished my magazine and website I recieved feedback from my class. This was very helpful as most of the people in my calss are in my target audience range so this feedback was relevant. It was also helpful becuase it told me what I needed to change for my final submission as well as what I had done well which was also good to know that my audience liked what I had done.
