Pitch Feedback

I pitched my idea for my music magazine to a group of people and recieved both positive feedback and constructive criticism.

Here is the positive feedback:
"Good idea to challenge stereotypes"
"Good name, good price"
"Good idea for double page spread challenging stereotypes in the genre; good price for a monthly issue"
Here is the negative feedback:
"Colour scheme sounds a little off or obscure"
"Have research behind certain ideas"
"Don't like the name, maybe consider a change? It is, however, amusing"
What are the Strengths of the Pitch?
The pitch went relatively smoothly. I felt I spoke confidently and was clear when I spoke. I think I responded to questions well and accepted constructive critisicm strongly. The comments told me my idea for a double page spread was definately a strong point of my pitch. The feedback also told me my price was very reasonable and it can be backed up by my research. Interestingly, I recieved both positive and negative comments on the name of the magazine, 'Drip Drop'.


What are the Weaknesses of the Pitch?
I did originally forget to mention one of the key points of my pitch, the price, but as soon as I realised I corrected my error. One key weakness, as supported by one of my comments, was a lack of research or mentioning of reasearch to back up my ideas and decisions. The other two comments I recieved were very much subjective and down to personal opinion.

What are the Strengths of the Planning?
My survey provided me with a platform to back up my ideas and helped me make decisions on key things, such as price, genre and features.  

What are the Weaknesses of the Planning?
In hindsight, I should have researched my double page spread more and had more evidence to back up ideas behind it. I also probably should have analysed more magazines of the same genre so my magazine would be able to take inspirition from similar concepts.
