We conducted a questionnaire
before we created our college magazine to find out who are target audience would
be and what was expected to be published inside. We questioned a wide range of
people but managed to ask 50% of males and 50% of females. 90% of the people
that we asked said that they do not read the college magazine so this shows to
us that the product we are creating is not working the way we expect it to.
For our
contents of our magazine people have asked for fashion, music, jobs advice and
sports to have articles. If we place these in our magazine then we will be able
to push our reader’s percentage up as students will be able to read about the
things they like.
Results
show that 60% of the people we asked would like the magazine to be published monthly
but 60% would not pay for the magazine. To achieve publishing monthly we will
need to price the magazine at a low price so that we can still make money from
it to publish more.
40% of
the people we asked say that they would be willing to contribute in the
production of the magazine helping with the photography, interviews and
technical work.
For the
front cover we have been asked to use bold colours like blue, black, white and
red. A bold title and many images have also been requested.
