The research conducted on college magazines informed the document author on how to attract buyers. Using multiple pictures on the contents page makes it less boring and fills the page out better. Eye-catching colors, buzzwords, and meeting the target audience's ideologies are needed for an appealing front cover. Questionnaires revealed that casual college students prefer informal, structurally diverse articles that are not too long or formal. Revision tips and discounts will also be featured to engage the target audience. The estimated cost of 75p per magazine was determined to appeal to typically cash-strapped college students.

1. Research Evaluation
The research I have done into college magazines has proved useful, as it has
informed me of what methods and preferences to take in order to attract the
attention of a potential buyer. I have found that using more than one picture in
the contents page is a good idea, as it gives the page a less boring mood and
also fills the page out more. I will be sticking to one picture on the front cover,
preferably covering the whole page at the back. I feel that in order to make the
front cover of my college magazine appealing, I will need eye-catching colours,
buzzwords, lots of puff, and the ability to meet the ideologies of the target
audience I have been given. I have learnt that for a college magazine, the
themes should be music, interviews with successful and popular people, and
discounts/free things to invoke interest from a college attendant.
The questionnaire proved to be especially helpful, as it enabled me to pinpoint
the casual target audience I have. The questionnaires informed me that an
article becomes boring when it is too long and formal; therefore I am going to
make the articles structurally different and informal. Revision tips are
something that will also be mentioned on the front cover or the contents page.
Furthermore, the costs of a college magazine were something I was unable to
estimate, so I averaged out the questionnaire’s responses to equal a sum of
75p. I feel this will appeal to the college student who, typically do not have
much income unless in a part-time job.
