Evaluation - Question 3

What have you learned from your audience feedback?


I created a questionnaire, which I gave out to eight randomly selective participants, who agreed to take part.

I was happy to learn that all eight participants felt it looked like a newspaper. It was quoted as being 'very professional', and I was told that 'conventions of real newspapers' could be found. This was good, as it showed me I produced a product that followed the conventions of a newspaper.

The respondents liked the colour scheme and font choice was good, saying that it appealed to them. The structure, layout and images used in my newspaper were admired by respondents. Another respondent liked how there are a variety of ways for readers to contact the newspaper team. All these factors helped me show that my newspaper looks visually pleasing, and makes it suitable if it was sold in shops.

I received a range of feedback that would allow me to improve my product, if I re-made it. Factors such as various font sizes, adding more images, adding more reporters, and using up empty space showed that I could adjust my product to make it of a higher quality. Elements in my newspaper such as the empty space, the newspaper price, the divider lines and the image sizes were disliked by the respondents. Making these changes that were disliked by the respondents could help improve my product.
However, three respondents did not find anything that they disliked, and so it shows that my product works well.
