Friday 8th April

Evaluation question 3.
What have you learned from your audience feedback?
When it came to audience feedback, I decided to conduct a questionnaire. I printed off copies of my newspaper cover, page2, poster and both pages of my webpage for analysis. I asked six questions, the first 5 being yes or no answers and the last being and open ended question. These questions were;
1)            Do you feel that the front page and inside page of my newspaper look authentic and real?
2)           Do you feel that the poster promotes the paper well, to make you want to subscribe?
3)           Do you feel that the website and sports page look authentic and real?
4)           Do feel that the design of the whole project flows well together?
5)           If this were a real local paper would you purchase it?
6)          Are there any comments you would like to make, which you feel would better my paper?

After retrieving all of my questionnaires back, it seemed as though my product was good in the eyes of the public. The majority of people answered yes to the first five questions and those who put no, gave me hints and tips as to why they answered this way. The main area that I felt I didn’t do so well on was people’s answers for question 2 regarding my poster. Even though only 3 out of the 15 people I asked answered no for this question, it was the only area which was lacking 100% perfection. From this I decided to change the colour and image of my poster to look more bright and eye-catching, after this I then got a few people to re-evaluate my poster , the answers I then retrieved I was much happier with.
As for question 6, my open question one person suggested that I should have made my story on page 2 my main headline, after some consideration and limited access to other pictures and apple mac software I decided against this move, due to  the little time I had remaining. Making this choice I feel was the right decision as I feel that the story fit well within the second page. One more comment was made on question 6 regarding my poster for my paper, this statement was

“ Even though you have shown a possible reward for subscribing, you should also include other incentives like reduced daily prices or free door to door delivery”
Again, even though this comment was valid, I did not make any changes to my poster  as the whole imagery and idea of the poster was to promote a competition for a Paris trip.. not what other goodies you would get for subscribing, if this information were going to be anywhere it would be on my webpage under subscription, but I wasn’t making a link for this page.
All in all, even though I did not take the advice given to me in question six, I still found these questionnaires helpful, and knowing now that other people think my paper and other parts of my coursework look real and authentic  makes me feel more confident that what I have done is of a good standard, as I have tried my best to produce a good piece of coursework.
