Audience feedback

- 3. From the feedback I received from Chris he thought that the text and style I had used for my newspaper had been fine however as my 'see more on page 30' was underneath my main image and not directly under the article Chris made it clear to me that this created confusion for the audience and that this would be a problem if my newspaper were to be distributed as if people thought that a article had been printed unfinished that not much pride was take with the newspaper, and if someone was careless enough to not finish article piece, it could cause the audience to question the integrity and the reliability of the magazine itself and cause a drop in sales. For my newspaper poster Christopher thought that the slogan 'bringing you the best as it happens' did not fit in very well with the newspaper conventions, and didn't fit well with my product. Therefore I decided to change the slogan to 'Bringing you the news as it happens' as it still ties in nicely with the main image on the poster and also links to the news itself, creating the point that my magazine lets the audience know that they will be receive the latest news as fast as possible with my magazine.

- 5. The feedback I received from Alex was mainly positive when concerning my products. He believed that my layout was good and the use of my side stories was a good convention used within my newspaper. He thought that my beach clean up sample article on the front cover was effective in drawing the readers attention, as the image used worked effectively with the story, showing how dirty the beach is and why it need's cleaning up. For the second page of my newspaper he thought that the articles used were very good and appropriate for the newspaper and that the images once again linked very well with the articles showing exactly what they were about. The only negative comment Alex had to say was the change in the look of the font, I believe this was created as the font size is smaller than the other article so that it could fit on the page appropriately. I do not believe this would be a very big issue for the readers as blown up to a bigger scale they will be able to tell that it is small text and not a change in font.
- 6. From Alex’s feedback he thought the link between the website and the newspaper with the ‘Veras wedding dress sale’ advertisement was a good feature used within my product. He believed the advertisements I had incorporated within my newspaper were appropriate as they were advertisements that you would see on a newspaper website therefor making it seem more realistic and professional looking. One thing he thought I could improve upon was the size of the font, as he has bad eye sight he was unable to see the text very clearly as it was too small for him to read. This could be easily mended as since it is a newspaper website, it will be online and usually people with bad eyesight will adjust the text on their home screen to a size they find easy to read, and since my newspaper would be online he would be able to adjust the font size to whatever size he needed.
