How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

What have you learned from your audience feedback? I found audience feedback to be a consistent element in which I always received, to ensure I was meeting my target audience needs fully, these often included more than just one method. This was not just gained for that of my music video but also both of my ancillary products as well, therefore gaining audience feedback on all areas of my final products. Due to receiving this, it gave me inspiration on how to change and tweak elements within my products to better fit the needs, and make them more appealing the target audience. The participants used within these feedback sessions varied between the ages of 17-34, mainly consisting of females (with the odd male making an appearance), this age range included both my targeted audience age, as well as those outside of this targeted age range.

This is a screenshot of my first draft of my Magazine advertisement. I will then be showing this to a group of individuals to receive their feedback (both positive and negative) to see if there is anything that could be improved. However this is in fact my first draft.

I figured that the magazine advert looked a little bare in the bottom right hand corner, therefore I needed something to add in here, to liven the magazine up. It was suggested to me by one of my peers that I add the Spotify logo and put, 'now available on' just before the logo. However instead of having it in black and white like the other social media logos, I thought it would add more of a pop of colour to the advert if the logo was the signature green, yet only subtly as the logo is smaller in scale compared to that of the rest of the information presented. I took the image below from google, of the Spotify logo to use within the magazine advert. Then later added the 'also available on' using the same 'Arial' font from photoshop that was used for the information about the tracks. Therefore meaning I ended up with the magazine advert you can see below.
