After creating a draft of a magazine i showed it to our class, friends and family and asked for feedback on the magazine and how i can improve, these were the comments:
- Looks very much like a real magazine, the colour scheme is eye catching and the font is easy to read, however there is a lot of white space that could be filled with colour. - Class
- I like how you've added the issue number and a website for the magazine as this is what can be found on a real magazine, maybe if you made the title bigger it would be more eye catching and fill more space. - Family member
- The pictures in the middle look more like they should be the center of attention and have the title about them, if these were moved somewhere else and the pictures of the possible dads are moved then it will be obvious what picture relates to what storyline. - Friend
- The words "Dad's the word" are all different sizes and i think this makes it seem less significant as the other headings under the other pictures are only slightly smaller, this makes the main title seem less significant. - Friend
I am very appreciative of this audience feedback and will alter my magazine to suit my audiences needs, it is the audience who will be buying the magazine and by changing my magazine to suit them i am making uses of Dennis McQuail's Uses and Gratifications theory (1984) because my audience will be actively seeking my magazine so they can read more into the soap opera they are watching.
