Peer Evaluation - Preliminary Magazine

As part of the evaluation process, I got 3 fellow students of my AS Media Studies class to fill in a questionnaire on my preliminary magazine.

I asked them 4 statements and 2 questions, and then each answer required them to tick a box of either:

-Strongly Agree
-Agree
-Disagree
-Strongly Disagree

Excluding the 2 questions, in which they gave me a statement.

Here are the results:

1. My preliminary magazine looks professional:

One person said 'Strongly Agree', and two people said 'Agree'.

2. My cover and contents page correlate well:

One person said 'Strongly Agree', and two people said 'Agree'.

3. My contents page can be well navigated:

All three people said 'Strongly Agree'.

4. The preliminary magazine looks like I knew how to use the programs:

One person said 'Strongly Agree' and two people said 'Agree'.

5. What do you like about my preliminary magazine?

 - "I like the small features like the logo and the barcode. I also like the title of the contents page, and how you used your colour scheme."

 -"I like the contents page a lot, and I like your house style."

 -"I like how professional the contents page looks."

6. What should I change on my preliminary magazine?

 -"I think you should change the font of the title, on the front cover."

 -"On the front cover, I think you should have more of an anchorage."

 -"I think you should change the colour of the blue text, so it's easier to read."


My response to the questionnaire:

I was surprised at all the positive feedback to my magazine, as everyone thought my contents page was really professional, and easily navigated. I also got an insight of how it looks to other people, like my text fonts or colours - as they may look better to me, rather than to other people.

I also learnt about anchorage, that I can now use on my next project of the music magazine, to make it more professional and technical.
