Meet the Focus Group

I have four good friends who have agreed to by my focus group. I will show them all my work and will ask for advice through-out the process of producing my music magazine. My four friends are:

Name : Ellie

Likes : Dancing, Going out with friends, and skiing

Dislikes: School

Media Usage : Likes to read "more" magazine, 1-2 hours of TV a night, Uses the internet every day for social networking and watching videos, also listens to music on Ipod.

Overview : Ellie is a good friend of mine as i value her opinion greatly. I think she will play a key rule in my focus group, especially as she is the type of person who does not hold anything back, she will say what she thinks. I'm sure she will prove very useful in the feedback process.
