Magazine Questionnaire Analysis


Magazine Questionnaire analysis




From my first question I can tell that mostly girls answered my survey as there were 76% of girls and only 24% were boys this means I am able to make my magazine a lot more feminine as I don’t think much boys are really interested in a school magazine although I will include some articles to do with boys as I go to a mixed school.







In my second question 68% of people said that they were in sixth form, 20% of people said they were in key stage 4 and only 12% of people said they were in key stage3 this makes me think that I should do a full page that is only for sixth formers and GCSE students as it would be more beneficial for them.

When I asked what age people were 44% answered 15-16 and a further 44% answered 17-19 which makes me think that the younger pupils of the school are not very interested in the school magazine and maybe they think that the articles in the school magazine are not for them so they just don’t bother to read them.  I know now that I need to make a magazine for 15-19 year olds.



In my next question 44% of people said that they are not interested in the magazine at all which makes me think that I need to make it a lot more exciting and I also need to add a free gift or voucher to entice my reader and make them want to buy the magazine all the time and even show it to their friends or family.



The next question I asked was how often they would want the magazine to be released and 40% of people said that they would rather have a magazine monthly and this shows me that I don’t have to put lots of content in the one magazine as I will be publishing it every month. Also if I publish it every month pupils of the school will be able to catch up and read about anything that they have missed.



I then asked what colours people would want to have in the magazine the two most popular answers were purple, pink, orange and blue, orange and green. As I will have male and female readers I can change the colours about and make it feminine and masculine with the same colours.



When I asked what people said they would like to see included in the magazine 40% of people said free gifts and this lets me know that if I put free gifts or vouchers in my magazine it would entice my readers and they would probably buy the magazine all the time and also the may recommend it to their friends also.



The last question I asked was did the readers want the magazine be in an informal or formal style 68% of people said that they would like it to be both. This lets me know that I could put funnier school articles in an informal style and that I could put the contents page and the more serious articles in a formal style of writing.
