Time Management Update

Currently, I am on track with my original time management plan. I intend to stay this way until the end of the course.

Production: Audience Feedback

Here is my audience feedback. I chose people that I thought represented my potential readership quite well. Both of the interviewees are within my target age rage, and I have used both genders, as my readership would most likely be a mix of the two.

From this, I can take ideas on how to improve my current pages. Firstly, it has been suggested that I lower the price of my magazine. This will be easy enough to do this, as the only place where this is shown is on the barcode. Also, my audience feedback told me that the red text atop the black background is sometimes difficult to read when the text is smaller. I will experiment with colours, effects, font size and backgrounds to eradicate this issue. Other than this, my target audience seem pretty pleased with my magazine pages.

Production: Audience Feedback Questions

These are the questions that I will ask my target audience to improve my magazine.

  1. What do you think of the layout of my magazine cover? How could it be improved?
  2. What do you think of the £2.10 price for 45 pages? Too high? Too low? Just right?
  3. What do you think is missing from my contents page?
  4. What is your opinion on the red borders on the images on my contents page?
  5. Are all the fonts clear and easy to read, in your opinion? Suggest improvements.
  6. Any other comments?
