The document describes how the author conducted research to design a magazine that would appeal to their target audience. They surveyed people of different ages to determine what content and design elements would be most popular. The survey provided information on the ideal age range, color schemes, and name for the magazine. Additional research identified popular magazine features like giveaways and posters that could make the magazine successful. Peer reviews were also used to get honest feedback from fans of the genre.

2. HOW?
• To attract my target audience I
used data collection from a survey
I did, I surveyed people of different
ages to whether they’d read my
magazine. This then gave me the
correct information needed to
mould my magazine to the ideal
standard/ expected/wanted by my
target audience.

3. From my audience survey I worked out the idea of
what the most popular age range was for a
magazine of my genre, I also found out the ideal
colour schemes and suitable names I could use.
Through the use of surveymonkey.com I was
enabled to reach a wider audience, this helped
me as it meant I had a wider range of
information therefore making it more accurate
as I had a wider array of opinions. After finding
this out it meant I had an idea of how to attract
my audience through making something they’d
want as a magazine to try and make my
magazine desirable and good value for money.

4. ADDITIONAL AUDIENCE RESEARCH
• In addition to my online and outside survey I did a peer
review within my classroom to get honest opinions from
real genre fans to see if they would think my magazine
worthy of being bought,.
• I researched what type of things were popular/repeated
in magazines of my genre, e.g.;. Giveaways or posters so
that I could include them within my magazine as a criteria
to make my magazine successful.
