Focus Group Feedback






Skills Development - The power of social mediaI held a focus group on my final pieces of work to make sure my work was up to the highest standard it could possibly be at.  I wanted people aged 16-29 to give me feedback on my work but organising a bunch of under 30's all together at once who weren't my peers was harder than I thought it would be.
I constantly see people of my age and above on their smartphones, tablets, computers etc and decided that the best way to be able to get a thorough response was through the power of social media and messaging.
I used all of my social media accounts, specifically facebook and twitter, and text messaging and instant messaging to find a few people in my target audience willing to give me some feedback.
I got comments from around 6 people and have a few printscreens for proof

"I love the colour scheme, it's really edgy and modern"

"I like that it's all in grey as it makes the colour picture stand out"

"There's a spelling error, it's actually spelt Red Hot Chili Peppers"
