Audience Feedback

Audience feedback
View more documents from mitchello44.
I have gathered a variety of different audience feedback on my Newspaper in two ways. Firstly, as a group we decided to create a Newspaper group on face book where we published are finished products allowing people to see them . There was also a chance for people to comment on my paper allowing me to gather a variety of feedback of what they liked and what they think i should change. The second form of feedback that i gathered was by printing out my final product and allowing people to write on sticky slips and position them on places that they though worked well and places that they though needed improving. This helped me in the completion of my paper because it allowed me to see what people liked about my product. It also allowed me to see features that i could develop and change, making the paper more appealing.

Poster Design

I have put together a draft of what i want my advertising poster to look like. This draft has allowed me to see what the final product will look like. It has also given me an idea of where certain features will be positioned on the page. I have included a variety of features on the poster that are in my newspaper, for example i have included the same slogan that is on the paper, i have used the same colours on the poster that i have within newspaper, i have also included website details and the date. Having similar features in both products allows my target audience to relate the two products together.

Places where papers are advertised

I have looked at a variety of different places where my paper could be promoted and advertised.

Buses



Allot of todays advertising is seen on buses. I could advertise my paper on the side of a bus for a variety of different reasons. Firstly the age group i am targeting use allot of public transport such as buses to get around. This will be a good type of advertisement due to it getting seen on a daily basis. Secondly buses operate in bust places such as towns and cities. Being situated in busy places will allow a wider range of people to see and hear about my product which could eventually lead to them reading my newspaper.

Bill Boards


Bill boards are situated over the streets in cities and towns and therefore would be a good place to advertise my product. Due to many of my target audience going out on a daily basis around the towns this would be a good opportunity to advertise my product to them. However i would have to be precise on which billboards i advertise on due to many of them being out of the way of the main streets and meeting point of a younger person.


Bus Stops
Bus stops are a very good place to advertise my newspaper for a variety of different reasons. Like buses, bus stops are places that my target audience use on a daily basis due to my audience traveling around on public transport. This will be a good place to advertise due to my target audience coming into contact with it on a daily basis. This will allow them to see my product and what it has to offer.



Tube/Train Stations
Tube and train stations are also good places to advertise a product due to allot of people passing through them each day. Due to many people using trains and the tube to get to work each day stations will be a good place to advertise due to your product being seen allot. However the target audience that i am targeting dont use stations on a daily basis and therefore wouldn't be viable advertising due to not many of my age range seeing my product.

Plug Advert

This is the Plug advert that i have designed and created using photo shop. The plug is advertising a chance within the paper to win tickets for a six nations game. This relates to my paper due to it offering a chance to win tickets to a sporting event. This advert will appeal to my target audience due to it being about a popular sport which my target audience are attracted to. The plug includes website details allowing people to visit the website about more details and to have a look at other prices that are on offer. A page number is included, telling the audience which page to turn to for more information.

Three Chosen Stories

I have researched into 10 different stories from the local area surrounding sport. I have analysed these 10 stories to see which ones will appeal to my target audience. Out of these 10 stories i have chosen three that i will use within my paper. I will use two 'Softer' stories representing happier sporting events in the local community and one 'Hard' story which will touch the readers emotions. One of the 'soft' stories that i have chosen, is an article that i am going to write about up and coming local football star.
The second 'Soft' story that i am going to use is "Boxing ace Maguire aiming for ABA glory". The story is about a 22 year old boxer from Orpington, who is targeting glory in a national amateur competition. This story will appeal to my target audience because

10 stories for newspaper
I have collected a variety of different sporting stories in the local area which i could use for the content within my paper. As well as local sport i have also researched into celebrity sport players, due to me wanting to attract a wide audience for my paper. I have included a sob story about swimming pools closing down. The reason for this is that i dont just want my paper celebrating sporting success but to help keep open sporting venues.
