Evaluation question 5: How did you attract/appeal to your audience?

In order to appeal to my target audience, I did different stages of planning and research. This included my textual analysis, primary and secondary research along with various other stages like photography research and getting feedback on my first drafts. This research initially changed my ideas to suit the audience as this would be a product to identify with them. It gave me an understanding of what they were attracted to and didn't like, also showing me different methods to appeal to them.

I have also done some additional audience research by creating a survey using Survey Monkey. This helps analyse the results and give statistics on what people liked and disliked in my magazine, also leaving room for additional comments.

Additional Comments:

This audience feedback has shown me what attracts them and how accurate it is in targeting them. Especially showing what they would improve in my products and also showing the good factors that they liked. My audience understood that the genre was of a pop-punk/ pop-rock basis which was good although telling me that I could have tweaked it to be slightly more pop-punk and giving a clear understanding to my audience. The images and layout was generally liked and easy for my audience to understand which they liked although some people disliked some of the images used and thought they could have been edited a little more, though this was a minority and overall my audience liked them. A factor that was brought up with my audience throughout was mainly to have more variation in fonts and some in colour, perhaps this would have drawn them into the magazine more and worked better. Overall, there were some areas for improvement, but mostly it attracted and appealed to my audience.
