Evaluation- Feedback
I showed some poeple in my college my magazine pages that fit some of the demographics and psychographics without telling them. I asked 4 different people, from both sexes, black and white what they thought about the magazine and what they would do to improve it. I have kept my responders anonymous so they would speak more freely about their opinions and know they wouldn't be posted on the internet for it. I asked them to write down their responses and I have typed them up:
"I love the way it's not overcrowded and theres space so you can process what the magazine is telling you without the risk of being boring. I also like the colours, the double page photo is insane and it looks so real. I would probably add one or two more pages onto the contents page as one or two sections seem more bare compare to the others. I thought it was a proffessional magazine on the front cover especially."
"Love the fact theres fully clothed girls in the magazine, so used to seeing half naked women and it gets boring. I like the fact different models are used so it keeps it fresh and I love the styling of what looks like smoke going up the contents page. I'd probably have another male model but I can't really fault it"
"The colours are wicked all the way through the pages, it really looks like an R&B magazine but looks newer and fresher than most, I think it's because it has a different take on the genre but I love it, wish real R&B magazines did more styles like this."
"I actually read the front cover because there wasn't too much and was simple, after that I wanted to find the article about R&B saving her life as it really grabbed me, I then went to the contents page where I was planning on just finding that article but I was drew in with the images and the personal editors note, getting on to the article I was interested in originally I stared at the image for a while as it looked so cool with bits of red coming through. For once I actually understood the article too as it wasn't all posh. If i had to fault it, I'd have more of the article as I loved the story and wanted more."
I was overwhelmed with the feedback I got as this was from my target audience and is the response I'd want from a larger scale if my magazine was published. I also really appreciated the critism and reflecting back on it now I have to agree with them, one or two more pages could be added to my contents and my article could have an extra paragraph or so longer. Although I wouldn't add another male model to my exsisting pages, if I were to do a full magazine I would feature more male models.
