The target audience for the student's music magazine is 16 years of age and older. The student tested the magazine on peers who are in the target age range to get their feedback on different aspects of the magazine. 12 people provided comments on pages like the front cover, contents page, and double page spread. The feedback from peers within the target audience suggests the magazine would appeal to and be successful with its intended readers.

1. Question 4: Who would be the audience for your media product?
The target audience for my music magazine would be 16 above, my magazine
appealed to the desired target audiences as I asked some peers to comment upon
certain aspects of my magazine. It has proven rather successful with my peers who
are the target audience, which suggest that if I was to publish this magazine it may
do well. However, some comments may be biased as they’re my peers, and
probably wouldn’t want to offend me, but I believe they gave their true thoughts and
feelings suggesting improvements.
I set up a closed group of Facebook, uploaded all 3 JPEG formats and invited some
members of the class and some other students who don’t study the course to get
their uninvolved opinions of my work. I invited 12 people, all of the age of my target
audience, 5 people from my class, 1 former college student who studied media at AS
and A2 level and has continues to study media at University, then 6 people who
don’t do the subject just to get their personal opinion and honest thoughts on my
magazine.
I posted all my pages and some participants commented on my front cover, but
weren’t just solely commenting on my front page, making minor comments on my
other pages. Some participants commented on each individual picture to give their
opinion on that picture. These are the comments from my front cover:
