Here is the questionnaire that I came up with to ask members of my target audience in order to obtain further feedback on my products. This was to make sure I attracted/addressed my target audience effectively. 

I videoed the feedback I obtained from my questionnaire because this allowed me to obtain truthful responses, that gave me an insight into what my audience really thought of my product.

My Response to Feedback on my Double Page Spread

Now that I have received feedback on my double page spread, I know how I can improve my product to give the most professional appearance possible. 

To improve I will:

• Add the main subjects name to the page
• Add a headline
• Add a drop cap
• Change the background
• Experiment with the fonts
• Possibly add another, smaller photo to the page
• Make the red colour used on the large letter 'L' less bright
• Make the page less empty
• Make the page more unique

Feedback on my Double Page Spread from Peers

Jodie-

• The page is quite empty.
• It's not very unique.

Kate- 

• It has a good layout.
• The picture is good and goes well with the page.
• Is very conventional.
• The large letter 'L' may need making less bright.

Hollie-

• The costume on the model goes well with the genre.
• The overall look of the page fits well with the theme and genre.
• The large 'L' looks good.
• The columns look good and make it easy to read.

My Response to Feedback on my Contents Page

After receiving feedback from my peers I now have a greater idea of how to improve my contents page to give it the professional and unique look I am hoping to achieve.

To improve I will:

• Experiment with the font and appearance of the title to make it stand out more
• Make the text in the subscription box stand out more
• Either change the text colour on the review section or change the background colour to enable it to be read easily
• Refine the text in the captions
• Add some more original images

Feedback on my Contents Page from Peers

Jodie-

• The review section background colour is too dark.
• 'The complete story... so far.' should maybe be 'The story... so far.'

Kate-

• The layout is effective.
• It uses a good colour scheme.
• Its very conventional.
• Its hard to read the writing on the review section.

Hollie-

• The Facebook and Twitter logos are effective.
• The main picture and caption work well.
• The review section looks good.
• The use of conventions is good.
• 'Subscribe to conform' maybe needs to be bigger.
• The title 'Contents' needs to stand out more.
