I have conducted a questionnaire to get peoples opinions on how and
what I should put in my magazine. Firstly I had asked 20 people, these
included friends, students, family and teachers to fill out my questionnaire.
They all did this independently and anonymously to ensure the responses
were honest and were not influenced by other peoples decisions.
After I had all of my 20 responses, I had analysed my feedback and created
visual pie charts on Microsoft Excel so that the result were easy to read, this
enabled me to construct charts using the information I had obtained. this
allowed me to make easy decisions.
I then transferred the charts onto Microsoft PowerPoint to create a
presentation, so that I could conclude the results, in addition I have written
a brief summary underneath each chart describing my findings and
explaining what I will be doing In my magazine from the feedback I had
received. Finally I uploaded the PowerPoint on to slide serve, so that I could
upload it to WikiSpaces.
Things I will take into consideration while creating my
magazine, which was influenced by my feedback:
   My target audience will be students ages 16-20.
   I will be appealing both males and females.
   I will be doing a Reggae magazine based on current artist.
   I will be putting interviews and reviews in my magazine. Therefore
    for my double-page spread I will do an interview for the current
    artist from my front cover. And make the review my main cover
    line on my front cover. The remaining options I will put in my
    contents page.
   The title for my magazine will be ‘Roots’
   The magazine will cost £4.00 and it will be released monthly.
