3. Question 1
The first question was asking the person who was being surveyed on whether the
magazine reached it’s level of professionalism, before starting the survey, they were
given a link to the magazine in which they could have a quick look at it.
Out of the 11 people who answered my survey, 8 of them responded to my magazine
being professional and 2 saying it’s very professional. This gives me a clear indication as
an editor that the magazine has reached it standards, however there are few things in
which I could do to make it a bit mature. Furthermore the results of the first question has
given me a boost into my confidence on my magazine being good and reaching the
expectations of the target audience.
4. Question 2
The second question asked the
audience on each of the different
features of the front cover and whether
it was appealing.
The features of the front cover in which
they had to give their opinion on were;
Image, Layout, Colour Scheme, Font
and Chosen Sell Lines. They had to rate
them all; Excellent, Good, Ok or Poor.
This gave me a big indication on
whether they liked the front cover, as
it’s the most important page of the
magazine, In order for the magazine to
sell.
For the image, 11 people thought the
choice of image was excellent or
good, similar with the layout.
More people (7 – 63.64%) said that the
colour scheme was Excellent, giving me
a big indication that my front cover so
far is appealing. Continuing, for the
Font, 1 person said that it was Ok,
whereas 7 people said it was Ok, here I
took in consider of the font and may
decide to change my font into making
it a bit more readable for my audience.
7 People said that the chosen sell lines
were Good, implying that maybe my
sell lines may have to be more exciting.
5. Question 3
The third question asked the person
taking the a survey a similar question
from the previous one, however it was
based on the contents page.
From the data below, you can see that 6
people thought that the types of images
chosen are Good, however ^ people
said the layout was Excellent.
The Font got 3 votes for Ok and 5 votes
for Good, once again implying that the
font could be improved and more
appealing.
The colour scheme is excellent according
to 54.55% out of 11 people. Similarly,
54.55% thought that the information (text)
on the contents page was Good.
I received additional information by one
person leaving a comment saying ‘the
light blue made it a little difficult to read
initially.’ This has given me a great
chance to improve my work and make
sure I meet the expectations of my target
audience.
6. Question 4
The fourth question is once again
following the concept of rating the
following features on the double
page spreads. From looking at the
data, I can see that the images were
good with 6 people voting ‘Good.
The layout had two equal responses
with excellent and good have 5
votes each, meaning my magazine’s
double page spread’s layout are
good.
The article has 7 votes on being
Excellent, proving that my article
may have possible intrigued the
audience and may have
entertained them which is my sole
purpose.
The style of the magazine got 63.64%
out of 11 people portraying that
overall my magazine double page
spreads are decent and looking
good.
With the colour scheme, Quotes and
Font, the borders of the appropriate
rating is levelled between excellent
and good.
7. Question 5
This question once again asked the
audience to rate the features however
this was for my additional page. I
received many negative votes which
proves that this page wasn’t as
appealing and successful as the others.
I received data that the layout was
mainly ok, the colour scheme was
excellent however one person said that
it was poor – contrasting strongly.
The text and the font both received
Excellent, Good and Ok rates.
In my point of view, from the information
given from the survey, I need to make
sure that this page is significantly
improved to make sure it matches up
the standard of the other pages.
8. Question 6
I asked the people
answering my survey to
comments on which my
strengths were in
general in the
magazine, I received a
lot of mixed comment
ranging from images, to
the colours.
This is beneficial to me
as then I can see what
the readers like. It also
shows what I’ve been
doing well in appealing
the magazine to my
targeted audience.
9. Question 7
I asked the people
answering my survey to
comment on which my
weakness were in general in
the magazine, I received a
lot of mixed comments
ranging from the last page,
to the colours and font.
This is beneficial to me as
then I can see what the
readers dislike and can
make sure that my media
product is appealed to
them and meets their
expectations. The
comments given will be
taken in consideration when
improving my magzine.
10. Question 8
I asked the people
answering my survey to
comment on general
improvements I can make to
my magazine.
I received a lot of mixed
comments ranging from
changing the font and
change the colours to make
them more mature. The
layout was also mentioned a
lot of the back page.
I will make sure I take these
comments in consideration
as these will be very
beneficial to me when
improving my magazine as I
have found out on what my
audience have not liked and
would possibly like to be
improved so that they can
red a better version of it.
