Target Audience

When designing and creating my ideas for my product I needed feedback from the audience in which I was aiming my magazine towards. Therefore to gain clear and precise feedback about magazine I produced a questionnaire and gained clear feedback on what they liked about magazines - for example how much would they pay, what colour schemes do you like. This overall helped the outcome of my product as I was able to use the feedback and edit according to peoples expectations and likes.My target audience was young teenagers between the age of 16-22.

example of target audience: young teens at evolution festival 2009.
interested in music and social events. 

I addressed my audience and gained feedback by creating a social networking site called Facebook, this allowed me to see if the magazine did attract and appeal to my target audiences and if they liked the product, while also allowing me to change any aspects if I was to re-produce a new magazine, therefore giving me constructive feedback in my production process. Below is the link to the Facebook page and also a variety of images from the polls in which I held out to the members of the group. To make sure the questions where to an appropriate audience I made sure that the people in which I added to the group where between the target audience age.

Gaining more in-depth feedback from my target audience I contacted a variety of teenagers and asked them to write a few lines on what they thought about my magazine. 

I contacted my audience through text, and Facebook messaging.

"The magazine is easy to navigate therefore appealing,
 I also like the colours used, I think the genre is very specifically displayed."

Niall Cunningham, 17
"The magazine had a nice consistency throughout it,
 making it eye-catching and original and
defiantly something I would purchase."

Amy Connolly,17
"I like the image on the front cover, I think it looks
very proffesional and something i'd expect to see on a supermarket shelf."
