Questionnaire Responces Analysis

After designing my questionnaire I posted its link on my facebook wall and asked 8 people to respond to it. The results show that 100% of the participants who are interested in the Sixth form magazine are 16-20 years old. This means that Sixth formers or students attending college show a great interest to Sixth form magazines. Considering this I have decided my magazine to be aimed at Sixth formers rather than younger people or parents. However I am not going to make the front cover look specifically targeted at Sixth formers because I want it to be appealing to everybody. More than 66% of the people indicated that they would prefer the magazine to be published monthly.I think that this is a good idea because its not too frequent and its designers will have enough time to produce the magazine that includes many pictures and articles. Considering the results that all the people are willing to pay less than 50 pence for the magazine, I have decided to make the school magazine free for people attending the Sixth form and 50 p for people outside the Sixth form. However everyone will be welcomed to donate money for the production of the magazine because the raised capital would be invested in magazine improvement equipments such as cameras or better quality paper.


Another important aspect of my magazine is its content. Over Eighty-three percent of the people pointed out that the most important thing in a school magazine is school news.The rest of them claimed to think that student/teacher related articles are more important for them. I will make sure that all the recent school news are included in my magazine so that students are better informed about what is going on in school. I will also pay attention on articles written by or about student and teachers because this would appeal to my demographic.

My project is based on designing a front cover and a contents page of a magazine so I have questioned people what is the most attracting feature of the front cover according to their tastes and opinions. Over sixty percent of the people indicated that interesting pictures of teacher/students or the school make up an excellent front cover. That is why I have decided to use at least two different images in my front cover. The rest of the people said that the cover lines are the most appealing aspect of the front cover. I will make sure that my cover lines are school related and interesting so that the magazines attracts the vast majority people in the Sixth Form.

My questionnaire is incredibly helpful in outlining what people's expectations are of a Sixth form magazine i.e. how should the magazine look like. Question number six was important for showing me how the magazine should be presented. The results tell me that everyone likes the magazine to be presented in different ways- some of the people(33%) prefer the magazine to look fun and cool while other(33%) indicate that they do not want the publication to be too colourful and childish. The rest of the people shared the opinion, that they want the magazine to look elegant smart and mature. These answers are contradictive as they are inconsistent in showing what do people want the magazine to be like. Therefore I have decided to produce a front cover which is both fun and elegant,interesting but yet not too childish.

In conclusion I would like to say that the questionnaire help me form an idea about the look, the price and the font cover of my school magazine. I know for sure that I am going to in-cooperate student pictures in my front cover. I want my magazine to look motivating and encouraging to student so that they are inspired to study and improve their future. There will be many articles in my magazines that will tend to help people in their revision and exams. The magazine should also look interesting because after all we are still children and need something to entertain us.
I am now going to work on my final front cover and will make sure that questionnaire's responses are considered in publication composition and design.
