College Magazine Questionnaire Analysis

Magazine Questionnaire Analysis:

After collecting results from out surveys it was clear to see what our target audience want from a college magazine. Out of all of the students we asked 65% were female and 35% were male. Out of all of those people 95% of people said they didn't read the college magazine. This shows that the current product doesn't work as its target audience is not reading it. Only 5% of people said they read it, meaning it needs to be improved. The vast majority of people wouldn't want to pay much for the magazine as 85% said they would either pay nothing or 50p. If you set the price at 50p it makes the magazine look better as your charging for it, so it must be worth something at least.  70% of students wanted the magazine to be issued either monthly or every half term.

When it comes to the content and appearance of the magazine students were asked what colour scheme they’d like. The top three colours students wanted to be used were Blue, black and white. However red, green and yellow had a fair few votes too. When it came to the image on the front cover students wanted various things. 40% wanted an image of a fellow student whereas 30% wanted a celebrity and 30% wanted a nature image. This means you could alternate what image is used to please a mass audience.  An informal or mixed house style were the most popular options for questing six. 50% said informal, 40% said mixed, so the magazine would be mostly informal with some formal content every so often to meet the demands of the audience.
Students want the magazine to include things such as music, sport, college tips, free gifts and TV/film. So the front cover would need to advertise these things in the coverlines to attract the audience.  100% of students said they wanted a page on jobs so this is a feature you would definitely put in the magazine.
