Finished.

Finally, I have reached the end of working on my DTP project and, overall, I am quite pleased with the results. I am quite pleased with the way in which my photographs had come out especially, as they are the type of shots associated with front covers etc. I believe that I have helped to create a unique magazine that hopefully, offers something different from the others. I quite like the use of texts which I have featured throughout the magazine, and think that they give “gatekeeper” something original.
Yet, I wouldn’t say my work is completely perfect. I feel that I had not enough time to finish my product completely. I say this as there are a few minor errors through my magazine, such as spelling mistakes, slightly stretched pictures and also, a slightly out border on my front cover.

Audience Feedback

Looking at the results from my audience feedback, I can clearly see that both feedback sheets are similar with the answers used, even though the two people interviewed were of different age groups.
I think that the main point of concern highlighted in the feedback, would be various typos in the writing, which I hadn't noticed until it had been pointed out to me.

Whilst writing the feedback, I decided to make the people who I interviewed, give two positive and negative points, to help give non biased answer. I believe that, by doing this, it gives the answers given a wider spectrum of feedback. Most of the response had there criticisms, but I shall take then into consideration for the next project.

With the question - "who do you think the target audience for my magazine would be?” I got a fairly accurate answer from those who I had interviewed; 14-19, mostly male.
The only problem with this would be that, they had not noted upon the fashion & music tastes of the target audience, but I believe I hadn't made this overly clear.

Overall, I am quite happy with the feedback which I have received. The constructive criticisms have been taken into account, and hopefully for the next project, I will be able to amend these.
