Magazine Presentation

This was the part of the project that i didn't enjoy. I don't like standing up in front of people but I was glad that my teacher had split the class up into smaller groups.

For the presentation each person put together a powerpoint presentation with all of their thoughts an ideas somewhere in it.

In my presentation I included the magazines name, genre and why i chose that genre, the target audience, magazine layout ideas and finally i mentioned my questionnaire results and how i may change things if I were to do this project again from the beginning.

The presentation began with the front cover (top right) consisting of the title of my magazine and who it was created by, I also included a few images as you can see in order to make the title page appealing which is something that needs to be done for the final product.

The second page was about the magazines genre and again I included a few images on this slide to make it more appealing as if the slide was only filled with writing then the audience wouldn't be interested and are more likely to ignore what your saying therefore it is always important to capture your audiences attention right at the beginning before going any further which is what the images and colourful backgrounds are there to do.

The layout section of my presentation (below) carries on like this up until the magazines layout designs are introduced (follow the link 'planning' and these designs will be shown there). It then goes onto the questionnaire results and how the audiences opinion takes presidence over my own as I am going to use all of the feedback they give me in my magazine.

Music Central is the title of my magazine and is one of the things chosen for me by my target audience showing that market research does in fact help you make decisions as well as helping you create something that the audience are going to be interested in.

The results included in my questionnaire show that 12 females and 8 males responded to my questionnaire which could mean that my results are slightly bias in a females perspective as more females answered the questionnaires than males. If this was to be done again I would ensure that the same number of both genders answered my questionnaires in order to get a set of results that is equal on both sides.

The same problem occured with the age groups as 7 respondents were 21+, 6 were 15-17, 4 were under 12, 2 were 18-20 and 1 was12-14 meaning that, again, my results could be bias and in favour of the 21+ year olds.

I believe that the results are this way as I didn't create my questionnaires straight away which limited the amount of time I had to get them filled out. Perhaps the results came out this way because I was hurrying in order to get each of them filled in and didn't watch the number of each male and female as closely as I should.

If I were to this again I would create the questionnaires first and get tje filled out before we finished researching exisiting texts as doing it this way would have meant that I had all of the results I needed and could begin to create my magazine straight away without any problems.
