EVALUATION

Peer Evaluation Questionnaire
It is important that I received feedback from my audience because if I was to simply analyse my work I am bound to find greater positive qualities than the unpleasant features and here are the additional results I gathered from my audience I was unable to upload for ethic considerations reasons; As you have probably already established/ guessed , the feedback of my peers has been extremely important and beneficial to the production of my magazine also, and to fulfil the past research’s I must check to see if I have created the magazine I first began to dream off and also acknowledge the changes that have made. I have compiled a list of questions so that I could find out exactly what my target audience thought of my magazine; unfortunately I only created two possible answers so that the amount of outraged customers would be clear…if I was a professional distributor, unfortunately the people I asked where inconsistent on answering all the questions.

After completing this questionnaire, I am quite disappointed for at first I expected great responses though with a good start I feel I could have achieved greater but still with the occasional pros from some students that enjoy the genre of my music the response was greater for the negatives were from the character that enjoyed music such as grime & Rock , which hugely reassured me on the effectiveness of my magazine, and I am extremely pleased with how well the age of my target audience has received it! Definitely a success within the audience I started but loosening its male audience.
