Evaluation - 3. What have you learned from your audience feedback?

Above is the feedback form I had created to gain comments from my audience. A fellow media studies student filled this out for me. For my main task (local newspaper) I've learned that there are a few things I could have changed to make improvements on the final product.

The things I could have improved are mainly in the minor detail. On my feedback form one of the things that I could have done differently was to use a wider range of vocabulary. I feel that this is a valid comment and I agree that I could have used more advanced vocabulary in my articles. This would have made them come across as more professional and would meet the conventions of real newspaper articles.

I also read that I could have also edited a few of the pictures a bit more. I agree that some of them could have been altered. This would have made them stand out a bit more and given them a more professional touch.

One other thing that I was told I could have done differently was the way the main photo and mast head could have been laid out differently. I feel that the way they are laid out at the moment is conventional but I do think if I spent more time on it I could lay them out in a more eye catching way.
