1. Survey Results

2. My first question on my survey was to find out the average age of the people taking my survey and all of the people taking my
survey were within the age range of the target audience for my project as my target audience for Smile Campaign is people who
are 12-18 years old.
What I found out from this was that 90% of people taking this survey were aged between 16-18 however one person taking my
survey was between the ages of 13-15 which is good as it means I am getting feedback from many age groups instead of just one
age group.

3. I chose to ask this question as I feel it is important to take personal identity into account when it comes to making a product, as
even though I want to appeal to everyone it is still important that I know who I am making something for/my viewers identity.
What I found out from this question is:
66.7% of those taking the survey identified as women.
22.2% of people taking the survey identify as a man.
11.1% of people taking the survey identify as Non-Binary.

4. I asked this question as I felt it was an important one seeing as my project is about making people who are suffering from mental
health issues or something similar smile. Low moods is a large issue for those suffering with mental health issues so it is
important to know just how often it affects people within my target audience.

within my target audience feel stressed.
What I found out from this question is:
22.2% of people taking this survey feel
they’re stressed sometimes.
77.8% of people taking this survey feel
they’re stressed often.
From this I figured I should then ask what it
is they do to cope with their stress.
I asked this question as I feel that knowing what
people do to relieve their stress as I could
include these activities in my actual advert so
there are various ways people could relate to
the advert I am making

their own.
However one person didn’t give an answer.

curiosity however it may be useful
in my advert.

is:

stressed around people

home

or because of college work.

“living”
One person feels they are most
stressed at work.

and cows.)

taking it were in education
