B2 Gather feedback

 

Feedback is essential information needed to improve something whether it be a blog or a song that someone has published professionally. The website Padlet was used to share each other's blogs so we could leave feedback. We use it to share ideas with our peers. We also used Primary + Secondary research to learn how to give feedback and how to react to feedback. I also researched the marketing and found out how it works.  

I worked out my demographic (target audience) by researching artists who do the same genre of music as me and age influences and preferred target audience. I then applied it to my career and this assignment in general. Some feedback I have gathered from my blog include a suggestion for a link to my website to be included. This will be added later. Most of my feedback was good for example I have added a logo but am to add links to social media’s such as Twitter and Instagram. I have also left feedback on other people’s blogs to help them improve theirs. Some of this feedback includes an idea to include a logo for a blog and links to social media.  

The following is some of the feedback I gained from one of my peers...  

 ‘’ The blog is good. I like the logo because it is interesting because its colour with a lot of information on it. I like all the information that you put on the posts. Its impressive number of tracks on SoundCloud that you uploaded. This blog is missing a website can't wait to see what you produce! ‘’

Another piece of feedback was from my teacher Steve. He told me that I had not made a website and since the interview I have since started making a website. Below is a link to that website which was made using Wix.  

For the creation of my website, I have used Wix which is a useful tool for people who do not want hassle whilst making a website. It is easy to access and easy to make a website. I am still to add a few more details but apart from that I am happy with the way the website looks. 

Group discussion with the whole group the blogs being put on the board and all members of the group leaving verbal feedback such as what they enjoyed and what they needed improving. This was done by using padlet where everyone’s blog is shown in January. If this hadn’t have happened there would not have been much feedback to go off and my assignment would not be as detailed as it is now. 

Peer feedback off other members of the group (This was given in a 1 To 1 format) This included digital feedback via blogger. An example of blogger feedback is displayed above. 

Feedback off the tutors. I have received feedback from all my tutors. One of my tutors, Steve’s feedback is listed as needing to make a website which I have recently completed to the best of my ability. A link to the website I had to make as part of this assignment is below.

He also made a point that I hadn’t had enough pictures or videos of myself in the studio and to resolve that issue I will get more pictures/videos taken soon. 

Overall, I was happy with the feedback I was getting from my peers, as it helped me improve my blog. There was no problem with the feedback I was receiving. One way someone could gather feedback is by creating a survey. A Survey is a list of questions asked to a group of people to gain feedback on something that has been created. Surveys could be used in various places such as public places (examples of some public places could be the town centre where many people pass through each day) and online by sending the survey digitally to people by E-mail.
