Questionnaire Analysis

1. What is your gender?

This question showed how many of each gender would be interested in a school magazine or even pick up the questionnaire. The girls were the most popular and as I attend a school that has a thousand more girls than boys I was not surprised at the results of this questionnaire. However I was surprised to see that some boys actually did take the time to do the questionnaire and that some are interested in a school magazine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. What is your age?

This question showed me the variety of ages that would be interested in a questionnaire and the most popular ages were 16-18 which proved my target audience to be mainly sixth form and possible a few year 12’s. This then helped me realise what features I should include in my magazine that will interest this age group.

 

 

3. Have you ever read a school magazine before?

I wanted to see how many people have actually read a school magazine before and I was surprised to see that 55% of them had which made me see that hopefully they will then be interested in reading mine. However 45% of people had not so this shows me that some people who receive my magazine will never have read on before so that I should make it worth their while in reading one and impress them with the first one they will read.

 

4. Would you be interested in one?

This showed me that there is a huge interest in a school magazine and the demand for one is high as 98% of people said yes! This certain question has pleased me as I know that a lot o people would be interested and would enjoy a school magazine so I will do my best to provide them with an exciting one.

 

 

 

 

5. How often would you want a school magazine to be published?

The majority of the people that answered my questionnaire preferred the magazine to be published monthly and this showed me that they are interested in receiving a magazine for read every month o school rather than just one a year or one a term. This also showed me that the readers will be wanting to find out what is happening within the school on a monthly basis.

 

 

 

 

6. What colour scheme would you like for the school magazine?

The colour scheme is a big part of my magazine as it will help me decide on colours for my fonts and backgrounds on my pages. The colour scheme will also create a feeling and tone through my magazine as the colours that were popular are bright and eye-catching colours “red, Green and yellow”.

 

7. What would you like to see as the title of the school magazine?

The title of my magazine is important as it is one of the first things my readers will read when they look at my magazine cove so I want to have a good title for them to enhance them to read my magazine. The most popular was “St Cats magazine” at 38% and this shows me that my audience likes the shortened title of “St Catherine’s college magazine” better and this shows me that my target audience are mainly still young as they prefer shortened text and slang. However “Cor unum” and Sacred heart magazine” were also popular and this shows me that a lot of my readers like our school moto “Cor unum” as a title.

 

8. What would you like to see as the cover of the magazine?

My front cover is an extremely important part of my magazine s it is the first thing my audience ill see when they are handed the magazine so it s important that my front cover looks good and appeals to everyone.  38% of the people who completed my questionnaire chose students and this was the most popular along with School crest and School building.  The students of the school will be great covers as this will advertise not only our bright and enthusiastic students but will also show our clean school uniforms that are a big part of the school. However teachers was only chosen by one pupil so this shows me is hold not have teachers in my magazine as it won’t appeal to my readers.

 

 

 

9. What would you like to see featured inside the magazine?

What I feature in my magazine is important as this is what my target audience will be interested in and they will want something good to read. I gave a number of options for people to chose from in my questionnaire and “upcoming school events” was the most popular out of the 23 people that completed my questionnaire with 35% choosing it. I can see from this that my target audience are interested in seeing what school events are coming up, school news and UCAS information were also popular and I can tell from UCAS being popular  that these people are sixth form.

 

 

 

 

10. What freebies would you like to see in the magazine?

Freebies are a great way of getting people to buy the magazine or read it as they are getting something free that they would have payed lots of money for. Although my magazine will be free I still think this will intrigue people to pick up my magazine and read it. As we can see from the bar chart the most popular freebie out of the 23 people that did my questionnaire was vouchers as 43% chose it. “Sweets” were also a very popular choice as it was at 23%.
