This college magazine has many traits used within the media
industry when it comes to magazines. For example the rule of thirds has been
used to allow the woman in this image to stand out. She has been placed in the middle third(centre)
and there she will be immediately seen by the target audience. The way in which
this woman is positioned is not linked to being juxtaposed but in fact she has
direct mode of address which allows the consumer to feel personally attached by
this image. The woman is also being hyper-sexualised as she is wearing short
shorts to allow skin to be shown and by having a V-neck top to be worn it
indicates cleavage. This magazine has 4 different types of font and three
different font colours. Its best to not
go over the number of 5 different font and colours otherwise its seen as too
bright and busy.
Questionnaire Analysis
Questionnaire Analysis
·
In response to the first question, 65% of the
respondents were female, and 35% were male.
·
95% of people did not read the college magazine
o
The product evidently did not work and has
failed to reach its target audience.
·
The most popular colours chosen by the
respondents were Blue, Black, and White.
o
Possible backup colours are Red, Yellow and
Green.
·
85% of people say that they will spend between
nothing and 50p for the magazine
o
The price should not rise above 50p, however if
it were to gain popularity and sales increased, a possible price increase way
be viable.
·
70% said that they would want the magazine to be
produced monthly, or every half term.
o
This is a fair response, as if it were to be on
a more regular basis, the level or quality of content would be much lower.
·
50% of respondents said they would prefer that
the magazine be informal, whereas 40% believe it should be a mix of formal and
informal.
o
Though an informal magazine has a majority, it
is wise to cater to the other 40%, as they will make up a large part of sales.
A good plan would be to make it largely informal and to include a few serious
articles.
·
The main themes that the respondents chose were
Music (11), College Trips (9), and Free Gifts (7).
o
Other popular themes were Sport (7), Fashion
(7), and Technology (6).
·
50% of people wanted a picture of a student to
be on the front cover of the magazine, while 30% wanted it to be a Celebrity
and 30% wanted it to be Nature.
o
Maybe interchange between the three options each
month to appeal to more.
·
100% said they wanted a jobs page.
This shows that our target audience are all young looking for jobs.
