A slice of pie ...

After handing many questionnaires out around the school and I then had to analyse the results. I used tallies, percentages and eventually pie charts.

Here are some of the conclusions that effected my decisions the most!!


The results were;
Lower school - 10%
Upper school - 10%
Sixth form - 45%
Whole school - 35%

This led me to decide that my magazine would be aimed at sixth formers! But how would I tackle this, I decided that the magazine should visually be quite formal as it is aimed at the older audience. The writing however should be more informal and 'jokey' so it still seems approachable.

The results were;
Weekly- 30%
Each term - 30%
Monthly - 35%
Annually - 5%

I once again responded to the questionnaire results deciding to release the magazine monthly this is important as I will have to show the issue number on the front cover.

The results were;
Black and white – 25%
Bright colours – 20 %
Pastel colours – 50%
Other – 5%

Due to the high percentage of people who have requested pastel colour I am going to use this colour scheme throughout my front cover. The 5% that accounts for other were students who requested stripy or polka dot themes! This could maybe be used on special editions of the magazine in the future!

The other questions on my questionnaire allowed me to identify the feel of the magazine people wanted practical things such as calendars to appear in the magazine. I also found that people wanted it to be student quite oriented with students work appearing in the magazine and it to be partially written by students.
