Feedback

After producing different designs for the front cover of my magazine 'pop it' I have gathered my final 3 designs. I am prepared to use any of the final 3, however, in order to choose the final product to take forward I didn't think I should go by just my own opinion because it could potentially be biased because its my own work, so from this I decided to ask a few peers/friends and family about what they think.

I gathered feedback for this question via whatsapp/imessage and direct conversation. As evidence of the feedback, I have screenshotted a few responses from whatsapp/imessage and quoted the direct conversation I have had with people. I did this so I could incorporate a variety of different technologies and ways to receive feedback other than just conducting surveys all the time. I also believe that feedback from surveys can sometimes be rushed so these answers this time will possibly be more thought through and reliable.

I proposed the question of:
From the 3 front covers I have sent/shown you, which one is the best and why?

The feedback I received:

 

• "I cant decide between the first front cover or the last one, I think they're both suitable for the audience you're targeting. I don't particularly think that the main image on number 2 is the best, the layout on number 3 is my favourite however." - Stacie
• "I would definitely say the last design, I think it includes a bit of everything that is on your example sheet. I especially like the little images that show what the magazines will be like, and I love the main image, it goes perfectly with the music theme." - Martina
• "I don't really know what a typical music magazine should look like but looking at the 3 designs you have made, I would say that number 3 is the best because all aspects of it stand out and it looks the most attractive for girls." - Warren
• "If I was to go to the shop and buy a magazine I would pick up the magazine with design 3 as the front cover, this is what kind of front cover I look for when I buy music magazines, and I buy them every week. This front cover is full of colours and interesting headlines and free presents for the audience." - Megan (13 years old, part of my target audience)

After receiving all of the feedback off the 10 people I asked (9 being female, 1 being male) I got the following results...

• Design 1 = 0 votes
• Design 2 = 4 votes
• Design 3 = 6 votes
  

Because the majority of the votes go with design number 3, this is the design I will be taking forward with me to receive feedback off my teacher. Then going onto using it to produce my final magazine front cover. I am pleased with the research I have conducted and with the results I have received!
