Evaluation - Question 4 & 5

Who would be the audience for your media product?              How did you attract/ address your audience?

Audience Feedback

—  In what ways does my magazine remind you of other magazines?

“Your magazine includes small previews on the left hand side, which I have seen on all magazines, your magazine also has a large picture of the artists the main story is about which helps the audience know who the article is about. The contents page is also has a similar layout to other magazines, it includes subheadings and small summaries of what the articles are about with page numbers, but also includes pictures so if the reader sees their favourite band with a page number next to it, they are more likely to see what it is about. The double page spread is an interview, which some magazines have, ‘ASHES’ uses the interview to attract the audience as it is exclusive content.”

—  What do you think are the strengths of my magazine?

“The layout it very well presented and it is easy to find what the reader wants, the colour scheme is the same throughout, it also fits the indie genre that the magazine is based on.”

—  What do you think are the weaknesses?

“The front page is a bit dull, it could use more detail and there is too much space, which could be filled.”
