Marya conducted a survey of 20 people at Plumstead Manor girls' school about preferences for a school magazine. The survey found that: 1) Most respondents were sixth formers, with smaller percentages of year 7, year 10 students and teachers. 2) More female students (75%) responded than male. 3) For the magazine headline font, Broadway was the most popular choice at 25%. 4) For the number of images on a page, the preferred option was 3 medium sized images (42% of respondents).

document made questionnaire and saved a copy just
in case the numbers get mixed up when being put
into EXCEL.

2. About the audience
• I asked 20 people which
year they were in and
most of which were
sixth formers. I tried to
fit in different ages and
years and thus I asked a
few teachers as well.
This is for the reason
that I wanted to know
who the magazine really
appealed to.

3. • I asked mainly females
as Plumstead Manor is
a girls school. This could
determine the colour
scheme that they may
choose in the questions
to come.

4. About the Headline
• Castellar
• Times New Roman
• Broadway
• Century Gothic
• Algerian
• I had given the audiences 5
options od headline fonts
that would be suitable for
the Plumilious headline. The
surprising results show that
Broadway has gained the
most votes and has won by
5 percent.

page?
2 large
3 medium
4 small
In this question I had given people a
option of 3 appropriate choices to
choose from that could be fitted onto
an A4 page. The results showed that
the majority of people would rather a
moderate amount of images that is
large enough to be seen from a short
distance. Hence the answer of 3
medium images.

In this question I had found out that many
people would prefer to stay with the same
old colour scheme from Plumline magazine.
Very few went for the pastels and this could
be for the reason that Plumline already uses
pastels and the “same” colours which include
red, blue and white.

7. For difficult results
• For difficult results such as
these where there are 3 lots
of 25 percent's I had chosen
to actually pick a final and
appropriate font for the
main text. This may not
have been the peoples
choice but yet as I have
been in this school and have
read many Plumline I had to
be the judge and settle the
results. Therefore I have
chosen to go with arial for
the main texts font.
