LO4: Client and focus group feedback

Focus Group/ Audience Feedback:

1) This feedback suggests there is a diverse mass demographic of people who were incentivised to carry out the survey for my magazine. It also shows that my magazine is reaching the intended audience of both a younger 'new' demographic That I wanted to introduce to the magazine genre and the older 35+ demographic of the genre that already exists which shows that my magazine can reach the intended audience and also target/create a new audience at the same time. This shows that my magazine TWI follows the codes and conventions of the Nature and Wildlife magazine genres because the format, housetsyle scheme and photography must all be in a familiar style for the target demographic to be interested. 

2) I have appealed to the feedback by using a diverse house style colour scheme which consists of  dark and light green, grey, black, light and dark blue and white. I used the house style colour theme because it worked in direct comparison and contrast with the cover images and main cover images and having a recurring theme of colour is a convention of my genres. Which at the same time follows the codes and conventions of the wildlife and nature photography genres. 

3) I followed the feedback from question three as well as the feedback as well as the feedback given later by Mrs Payne on my LO4: Subediting. The feedback is main positive however the third piece of feedback indicated about a more professional standard of writing and I decided to add a more varied use of vocabulary in my article. Following the feedback given by Mrs Payne I added a fifth paragraph/sub-article to my DPS relating to how the Photographer Mark Sanchez had found the magazine and how he had chosen the genre of photography he is a part of. I thought this was useful to include because it adds depth of character and allows the reader to relate better to him connoting Mark as an ideal self/partner for them. Moreover he also talks about how he has engaged in electronic agora and how it has been beneficial which in turn is an endorsement for the magazines website; and encourages the reader to do so as well. 

4) I followed the feedback from question four by changing the layout of my Double Page Spread significantly so that it fits the proportions better. I also added a background/main cover image in order to add more colour and depth to the page it also helps it follow the house style colour scheme better due to the dark and light greens of the leaves in the image. The introduction of the main cover/background image also helped reduce the amount of unnecessary white space that was over the page which in turn makes the page more bright and eye-catching to the reader so they feel more entertained.
