Q4 Who would be the audience for your media product?

Q5 How did you attract/address your audience?(use audience feedback video and discuss it)
The audience in my video in a whole were rather pleased on how i portrayed the magazine I had developed. The audience also commented about the magazines boldness and contrast making it interesting. The colours and the model fitted in well with its chosen genre. they were very pleased how I still kept the same colour scheme I used throughout each page of the magazine. However, one thing they recommended me changing towards the contents page was of adding another photo to correspond to one of the other leading story's and making the editors note title bigger. They said that the positives were the colour scheme and the images used and the front cover and editing and negatives were maybe choosing more images to go into the magazine.

A:Yeah, its such and honour just to be apart of a label which has held some really good musicians and i hope i can deliver to be just as good, infact even better than them. I want to be better than the people who inspired me, and thats a promise
