This is a questionnaire i have designed to help me find out about my target audience and what they want. Although i know i will be designing a college magazine for students it still helps to find out the ages and genders. I will also find out form this questionnaire how the students want their college magazine. 

College Magazine audience research results

The majority of the people i asked wanted here college magazine green. I will therefore be doing it green. 

What non college news would you like in this magazine?

As well as college news i also decided to include information about a non- college news topic. The majority of the people i asked chose TV or technology. As the two topics are similar i could include articles about both TV and technology. 

What would you like this magazine to be called?

Although a lot of people chose to have the college magazine called 'well smart,' i don't know if i will use this name. 

On the front cover what would you prefer? 

Most people chose to have a big title on the page. I will therefor give the title a lot of room at the top of the page.

Although the majority of people i asked were male, i will not only be aiming my magazine at males as it is a college magazine which will be aimed to sell to male and females. This therefore means i will have to include elements attracting to both male and female students. .

As most people chose to have Up and Coming events, i will include a calendar page marking out events which are due. A lot of the students also chose to have gossip as part of the magazine meaning i could include a 'gossip column.'

The majority of people i asked were in-between the age of 16-18. This age group will therefore be my target audience age group so i will be aiming everything for students between the age of 16 and 18.
