Pitch Questions and Feedback

Summary of pitch feedback

For my pitch feedback I chose to interview 3 girls and 1 boy who enjoy alternative music, as this represented my target audience. They were all late teens in age (18 and 19). From this feedback I gleaned that the average price that the audience were willing to pay for a magazine was £3. Peel was liked by two of the four as it was "weird". The question and answer format was favoured by the majority because it was more clear and easier to read. Most of the individuals agreed that there is a gap in the market for my magazine as long as it offers something different to the rest (which it shall). The text to image ratio needs to be around 70:30 on the contents page, and for the DPS it should be more photo heavy but with a substantial amount of text so probably 60:40. Equal of subtle colours and bright bold colours should be used, and I'll definitely use a bright colour for my masthead and then carry it through the magazine to show continuity of house style.
