Audience Feedback

Mr Woodward (27): 'although this isn't a genre I am familiar with I like the style of the magazine and the idea behind the audience that the magazine is targeting, although the contents page is slightly weaker than the rest of the magazine'

Tracy Walker (51): 'What is the genre? Sounds like it needs a good scrubbing. What is that boy wearing on his feet?'

Danat Tungushbayev (16): 'I like the layout of the magazine and the house style draws you in and makes you want to read more. You wouldn't even have noticed that the artist wasn't actually a rising star in the scene.'

Derek Edmond (59): 'The magazine is nice but I have no idea what most of the articles are or who they are about. What is a huarache and is it contagious? The layout of the magazine is nice although there is something else needed on the contents page. Also the language is fairly basic'

Emily Jerman (17): 'The music isn't one of my favorite genres but I don't mind listening to a bit of it occasionally, the magazine is very 'boyish' so i wouldn't say that I am part of the target audience but I can see why boys would want to read this magazine'

Clara Lane (26): ' the magazine is definitely not designed for me although I like the look of it. The genre is not one of my favorites at all!'

These answers have helped me to understand how to target my audience as they were taken after my first draft was complete, this helped me to tweak it so that it definitely targeted teenage boys. It helped that the older man found the language basic as this meant that it wouldn't be to complex for the targeted audience.
