Audience Feedback

To get feedback for our magazine we decided to use a focus group. We thought this would be a good idea as we would be able to get direct information from a group of people whereas if a questionnaire was handed round they would not be able to tell us what they really thought about the magazine and instead only be able to tick boxes or write short answers.

Own Comments
Overall we were really happy with the feedback we recieved as it was positive and they were part of our target audience which gave us an idea of what others would think in that age group.
However we were aware that as people knew it was our final magazine for our coursework the people were more flattering and gave us compliments for our work.
