Audience Feedback Survey

I designed a survey on SurveyMonkey to get feedback on my magazine. I asked set of questions which cover all aspects of my magazine including the colour, layout and font of each page. I included some open and closed questions in order to get a variety of responses. The open questions will produce qualitative data which ensures that I will get detailed responses to help me improve my magazine.

Chosen Images

I picked out some of the photos from all of the photos I took in the photoshoot which I thought were good and I would possibly use in my magazine. I chose some which I thought would be suitable for the front cover and also chose some other interesting ones for the double page spread. I also selected some which I thought would be appropriate for the contents page.

I did the same thing for my outdoor shoot, picking some photos which I thought is suitable to use in my magazine. I picked 11 photos from the 124 photos I took.

FINAL CHOSEN IMAGES: I then further cut it down and ended up with a total of 8 images which I used in my magazine for the front cover, contents page and double page spreads.

Photoshoot Behind The Scenes

When I did my studio photoshoot, I used my phone to take some images and videos for the behind-the-scenes.
I then transferred these onto the computer and selected the images and videos I wanted to use. I created this short clip on Windows Movie Maker. I found it very easy to use but produces a video which looks good such as the transitions and effects.
As my magazine is based on the pop-rock music genre, I decided to use an instrumental version of Avril Lavigne's Smile for the background music. Even though it is an instrumental, it still has strong features of pop-rock music with the guitar and drums used in the track and so I thought it would be suitable.

Contact Sheet

Media - Contact Sheet

I took some photos outside for my magazine. In this outdoor shoot I took a total of 124 photos of my model Geeta. I then made a contact sheet using Photoshop.

Production Diary 16 - Evaluation, audience feedback survey and processes

24th December 2013

In the Christmas holidays I finished the rest of the evaluation I draft form. I did questions 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7 as I did questions 3 and 4 already for homework before. In order to answer these questions I had to constantly refer to my magazine and also look back at some of my work on my blog about the audience.

I also created a survey on SurveyMonkey to get feedback from my audience for my magazine. I created a variety of questions, some with options for the respondents to choose from and some where they had to type in their own answer. This made sure that I had both quantitative and qualitative data.

Another thing I did was the processes; this is where we had to show what we did before and after as well as showing how we did certain things. For example I showed the different stages of my work from the sketches to the actual product on In Design. I also created short videos which demonstrated how I did certain things for my magazine such as the drop cap and paragraph rule.

Magazine Final Draft

Production Diary 15 - Finishing front cover for final draft

16th and 17th December 2013

 

I made several changes to my front cover. Firstly the biggest change I made was I added in the front cover image which fills the background. I then changed the style of the 'top 20 downloads of the month' sell line and also changed the one in the banner. I also added in the name of my magazine and changed it to the colour teal to match the rest of the magazine. I also changed the echo awards sell line so that it was all in black as I though it would look better for my magazine.
