Targeting female readers and popular topics for a school magazine
1. The response to my survey shows that
my magazine will have a larger female
audience therefore I will make my
magazine more suited to the female
user by making the contents and the
colours more feminine.
2. This question showed me that my target
audience will be around the 17-18 and 15-16
age groups. I will have to make my magazine
suited, I will do this by making sure there is
age-appropriate material and not material
that is too young or too mature for my target
age group.
3. Most people said that they would prefer to
see gossip on pupils and teachers in a
school magazine but a lot of people also
said they would like to see information on
upcoming events so I will make sure I use
these as my main topics in my magazine.
4. From this question, I gained the information that
after gossip on pupils and teachers and
information on upcoming events being the most
popular topics, sports events and results was also
a favoured topic so I will make sure I include this
in my magazine too.
5. I found that most people found a price between
£1.00 and £1.99 would be a suitable amount to
pay for a school magazine so I will try and make
my magazine so that it can be sold in this price
range and still make a profit.
6. In this question, most people answered that
they would buy a school magazine once a
week so I will produce my magazine once a
week.
7. ‘Inside Ilsley’ was the most popular
name on my survey so this is what
people most think suits a school
magazine and this is what I will name it.
8. In this question, you could select multiple
answers and the three most popular colours
were; blue, purple and red. Blue and red are
school colours so I will include these colours in
my magazine the most.
9. 1-4 pages and 5-9 pages were the two
most popular lengths for my magazine
so I will aim to produce a magazine that
has around 4-6 pages each week.
10. Most people said that they enjoy being with
friends and after school clubs. This will help me
make my magazine as I know that people will most
want to see articles or pictures of people with their
friends or from after school clubs.
