Preliminary Task- Magazine Front Cover

Questionnaire results

55% of our audience that we questioned were female, and 45% said they were male. I punch those numbers into my calculator it makes a happy face.

When we asked our audience, they said that 95% did not read the college magazine itself, and only 5% do read it. This tells us that the college magazine doesn’t work.
We asked how regularly they would like a new issue and 55% of our audience said, they would like the magazine published monthly. 50% of people said that they would pay for the magazine, so I’m thinking of introducing an online free version or a hard copy that costs 50p, and most people even said if they would pay, they would pay 50p.

When we asked if the students would be more likely to buy it if it had discounts/freebies, 80% of them said they would if it did contain freebies.

The 5 most popular choices for content in the magazine were: Music, Jobs, Fashion, Food and Study Tips. This suggests that the audience would more likely buy the magazine if the magazine focused on these five points.

When asked would type of image they would like to see on the magazine, 60% of our audience said that they would like to see images of people, this suggests that people will buy it if there were pictures of students or teachers. The 5 most popular choices for the colour scheme of the magazine are: black, red, white, blue and yellow. This can be used to pick out 3 people to use.

50% of the audience we questioned said that they would be more than likely to contribute into the magazine, so our choice has been settled and students can contribute and submit articles for others to read.

65% of the students we surveyed said they would like an electronic version of the magazine, so I will introduce a hard copy that costs 50p and the online version costs nothing.

College Magazine Cover Analysis

This magazine cover is a quite positive magazine cover. The Master Head is large in size, which makes the title stand out on the shelves. On the front there is a man holding books, which represents education, and that the college themselves provide extra learning support. Also, the man on the front is happy which suggests college is a fun and supportive place too.

 

The man also being black makes it suggest that college is a place of equality and friendship, and the crucifix on the man’s necklace shows that any religious or non-religious people can all get along in college.
 
The lifestyle selling line makes it feel like you can be a part of college life and be a part of equality and good education.

The main cover line and other cover lines suggest that all the topics are aimed at students thinking or going to college at the time. The cover title lines tell the audience (students) about what kind of activities you can do, how to have a little bit of money lying around, new technology fit for education and fashion tips.

The barcode is out of the way on the left to give more space for the main subject, which is the man.

 

The splat on the right makes people draw attention because the magazine in the most parts looks green and then there is a bit of pink that stands out. This makes the reader catch the pink and it makes them want to read on and take a look through the magazine.
