To find out some constructive criticism about my music magazine, I designed a questionaire asking people of different ages and gender what they thought of magazine and if it could have been improved or not by asking different questions for instance:
-what gender were they?
-how old?
-did they think the colour scheme flows and shows a brand identity?
-does the main image look proffesional?
-did they like the overall presentation of the magazine? (if no then why?)
-what draws them to the magazine?
-what genre did they think it is?
-what do you think could be improved?
I got an overall positive feedback for my questionaire and most people commented on how they liked the colour scheme which showed a clear brand identity but said a few things that could have been improved, like the images and the quality of the written interview. I took all these comments and started making improvements on things that people said I could do better on, I made my front cover image much more attractive so that it would stand out and fit in with the style & genre of my magazine that I was aiming to achieve. I also took more time on my written interview and completely changed my original masthead to a more simple but effective font type that was more classic. Overall these changes made my magazine better and so was good to see what people thought and definatley helped me improve small things that needed to be done.
