1. SURVEY ANALYSIS
Harry Hartland

2. SURVEY QUESTION 1
In this question I got some good results as I
have found out what my audience could be
just from this first question. As Red and black
was the colour scheme was picked and was
the highest percentage in answers we can see
that the audience is most likely a classic and
laid back audience.

3. SURVEY QUESTION 2
This question is showing us that we should
have around 6 photos on the contents page.
I feel I should use around six because it
gives the audience something to look at
quickly before they buy the magazine and
get a glimpse of what is inside.

4. SURVEY QUESTION 3
The answers on this question was very
close between the low angle shot and
the high angle shot, I feel that I should
still use a low angle shot as I want my
magazine to be conventional.

5. SURVEY QUESTION 4
I feel this is a definite yes to having puffs as
most magazines do have puffs and I feel if I
don’t include puffs it will make the
magazine look like it is too different from
the others.

6. SURVEY QUESTION 5
Mixed did was the one that was
selected and I feel that it is right as it
will make the magazine look
conventional but I also feel it could be
in the middle of both pages that way it
is a mix of both.

7. SURVEY QUESTION 6
I agree with the answer of no for this as it
will make the front cover look un-neat and
will make me lost a lot of space for other
features on the front cover.

8. SURVEY QUESTION 7
It is quite evident here that the
contents page and the front cover
of the magazine is what makes
people buy them, this means I
should concentrate on the
typography on the front cover and
contents to make sure they can be
persuaded in.

9. SURVEY QUESTION 8
I will be using all these types of fonts at
different parts of the magazine I will try and
get all of the features in to have as high as
range as possible but not to have too big
dramatic changes in text.

10. SURVEY QUESTION 9
I don’t agree with this answer as I
feel other successful magazines
have been putting about half and
half with pictures and text and I
feel this works really well and that
I should also use it.

11. SURVEY QUESTION 10
This a complete yes and there was no
“nos” in this question this means that
I will make sure the subject in the
photo that I take is making eye
contact with the camera.

12. OVERALL CONCLUSION
• I feel I have had some really good results from this survey and it is going to help me
decide on what finale features I will use in my magazine. Such as making the subject
of the photo on the front cover be making eye contact with the camera. I have also
learnt some information about my audience from these results that they may be laid
back and classic.
