Blog 11 - Target Audience Commentary

To get a better picture of how my magazine may come across I decided to show a selection of people my magazine to get their views and opinions on it. I decided to use both male and females around the ages of 14 - 18 as that is my target audience.

After showing these individuals my front cover, contents page and the double page spread these were there written responces

Emma (Female, Aged 14)

"the front cover has bright pretty colours which is very attractive, the contents page has a lot of detail and personality. I love the double page spread I really like the photo's he has taken it gives the page a sense of happiness and warmth"

Aimee (Female, Age 17)

"I really like the photo included on the front cover, I think it's cute, warm and welcoming which would attract me towards the magazine. The contents page is very bright, I think the contents is very much like other magazines but it works well keeping it simple. The spread is my favourite part of this magazine, the article drew me and the photo's selected really reflected the feel and mood of the article"

Alex (Male, Age 16)

"The front cover is very bright and girly which I think may put some male readers off but the cover still looks good. The contents page is very simple and basic which I like, it does it's job and doesn't look compact and over crowded. The double page spread is the best part of the magazine, the articles are well planned and the images are happy and positive which will relate to the readers."
