Pitch Feedback
From the feedback I received from my magazine pitch, I have identified the positives and the negatives which my fellow peers feel about my magazine idea. One advantage I feel with my peers evaluating my magazine, is that this is my target audience, and they will give me a good insight into what they would want out of the magazine. However, fellow bloggers revealed that they like the name of the magazine, as they feel it ties in well with the style (colour scheme etc), and the genre of the magazine I am looking to produce. Another feature I identified was that they feel the target age for my magazine is the correct one, as they feel it tends to be the later teenage years who read indie/alt rock magazines in the style which I am doing. However, there were a few people who alerted me to the fact I have no Unique Selling Point, which is something I need to rectify asap, otherwise I may fall behind other competitors.
