Using the blue “Flava” logo through out the website on the different pages. Used stories from the newspaper to keep the newspaper and website connected.

17. What have you learned from your audience feedback? During the production of our newspaper, website and poster I made sure I got audience feedback on each and every time I produced something whether it be for the newspaper or the poster I made sure I asked my peers what they thought of it. We carried out a questionnaire which enabled us to find out exactly what our target audience wanted in a new youth newspaper: http://06whhs12e1.blogspot.com/2009/09/questionnaire.html Learnt it is the most crucial grounding of any product in order for it to be successful Made sure we asked people other than our peers and friend to prevents our results being biased Good to get different opinions as when showing others our product they noticed things that we weren’t aware of and made valid contributions e.g GOOD POINTS BAD POINTS
