Audience feedback questionnaire for the magazine

Below are the results of the questionnaire i give out to 10 people about my magazine displayed in pie charts.

Question one.
What does the title suggest to you?
The most popular result was as i hoped. A magazine name with simplicity and a fashionable edge. I feel that the simple subheadings on the front cover helped and the easy three letter name MFG gave the magazine a simple yet stylish edge. Moreover, due to their being a full stop between each meaning for each word of the magazine name ( MUSIC.FASHION.GOSSIP) it provided the reader with a simple memorable understanding of the magazine and its name. I am glad that the answer "fashionable" came up because i really wanted my magazine name to give off the theme of fashion.

Question two.
what genre/type of music does the magazine focus on and how do you know this?

I am pleased with this result as even though my magazine focuses on R&B and Pop it has an arrange of music in my magazine. The reason for this is due to some artists even though a different genre of music contain songs that have a modern or upbeat twist, remixes for instance can vary from very old folk songs to 80's pop ballads.

Question three.
What makes the pages look professional and what stops them from looking professional?

What makes them look professional-
The finish of my magazine was something i focused on deeply. I looked at inspiration for my magazines off fashion websites and other existing music magazines and i eventually mixed everything together in order to create a good layout. The photos i am particularly pleased about as all poses were original and modeled on pre-existing models and musicians that have done photo-shoots in magazines like FHM (the only difference is this was done with fashionable clothing that are currently 'in'.)

what stops it from looking professional-
When giving out the questionnaire the responses i got back were either blank or no idea. I asked people verbally and they said possible the high level of modeling however, i explained to them the idea behind the magazine and after looking at what the magazine stood for they retreated their comments.

Question four.
How genuine does the front cover seem?


I am extremely pleased with this result especially after redoing the front cover many times due to not being happy with the advertisement techniques or layout.

Question five.
Does the contents page simply inform or does it also manage to interest you in reading the rest of the magazine?

 this is another result i am pleased with as i looked at other magazines and after asking people about why they buy magazines they said because of the people inside. Therefore, i used big artists such as Katy Perry etc. 

Question six.
Does the article sound like a piece of journalism? 

I am moderately pleased with this result, the no was further expanded to say that it seemed too "complicated word wise" however the other people commented on the language used in the article and said it brought a professional edge to the magazine.

Question seven.
Does the articles layout make you want to read it? if not why not?


After looking at these results i am extremely pleased with my magazine. The no was once again by the same person therefore i will have to count it as an error as the other people who took part stated how it made the article seem more stylish. 

I am very pleased with all my results, i feel i have achieved the audience intention and I feel that if this were a magazine to be published this could have the possibility to succeed.
