EVALUATION OF MY QUESTIONNAIRE

http://larasasmediatimes.blogspot.co.uk/

Gender

First of all we have gender. This is mostly females who have answered the questionnaire. I think therefore that I should try and make it a little more feminine but however men still are interested and therefore make sure it’s not an overly feminine magazine. This means I need to try and keep the magazine open to both genders but with subtle feminine hints.

Age

The primary audience of my magazine is 14-18 year olds. This gives me the basis for what I would want to include within the magazine as this is my age range this makes it easier for me to understand the target audience.

Cost

Most people would not pay for a school magazine according to the results of my questionnaire. Although if it was good they would. Therefore I will make the magazine have a cheap price because I believe the media text I will produce will be good and tailored to my specific audience.
