This document discusses the target market and questionnaire for a new magazine. The target audience is middle aged teens and young adults similar to the audience of Q Magazine. Feedback from a questionnaire showed that photography, masthead design, and research/planning need improvement. Editing and design were liked. Respondents felt improvement was important. Photos were low quality and two inappropriate photos were included. More planning, research, and photos are needed for future issues. Inspiration was taken from Q Magazine for photography styles.
2. Target Audience
My Magazine is for middle aged teens and young adults at any age,
below is a picture of what my target audience should look like… the
picture is off young adults and teens, basically my ideal audience, I
chose this audience as I didn't’t want to make my magazine just appeal
to young teens, and kid. I would say because of the information and the
compartments it has I would say it’s similar to Q magazine which has a
similar audience to my magazine.

4. Questionnaire Analysis:
The first question asked was mostly about assessing how well I’d done things when
making my magazine. The results did vary, Because there were things like;
Photography, My masthead design and also my research and planning, so I thought
these 3 things are definitely something ill need to pick up on in the future. I also found
out that my editing skills and the design of my magazine was liked very much, I thought
if I keep being as consistent with the design and editing, the magazine would maintain
it’s consistent detailed look.
The next question was a simple yes and know question with a description, I asked this
because I wanted to know how many people thought ‘improvement’ was important, I
asked this because the majority of my questions were based on this subject and so I
thought it could be interesting to see the views from different people.
The next question was similar too the first however, I was basically just asking what I
could do to improve my work, I got some feedback about my photos, they weren't in
the best quality so I know now that the next time I make a magazine I will be improving
the way I take photos. I also got feedback about the fact I included two pictures I
shouldn't have, at first I didn't’t think it would matter, but it didn't’t unfortunately
however, next time I will remember too take more photographs. My planning and
research was also questioned for improvement, I have taken that in mind to improve for
future posts to my blogs.
6. Photography Person
Organisation:
I organised my model to look in various
different directions, and to hold a guitar
and to sit down. I needed him to pose in
numerous ways, when taking the photos
this was because at the same time I was
looking at an issue of Q magazine to get
some ideas. I was taking inspiration from
this for photography and when making
my magazine. I attempted to replicate
some of the picture styles they had done
inside and on the front cover.
On the right is the issue of the magazine I
regularly referred too. In the end my
model did everything I asked for and I
came out with some good images.
