Deconstruction of 3 media magazines

Analysis of my Media magazine questionnaire

For my media questionnaire i have asked various people to answer the questions that i have put down and asked them to choose or state an amswer in which they wished to give. this was so that then i had a feel of what my target audience (year 11's 16 year old's) wanted to be on and in my magazine. for the colour to see on the front cover the highest percentage of people stated that they wanted purple on the front cover of the magazine however there was also a high percentage of people who wanted the colours blue and black also. therefore i should take this into consideration when designing my front cover; as i would have purple as the main colour however would also encouporate blue and black in the design as well. for the age of most of the people, they were from ages year 7- year 11. However there were mostly year 11's which are around about 16 years of age therefore i should take this into consideration and make sure thaat my magazine is then suitable for this age group. for the music question most of the people i asked said R&B therefore for my music section of the magazine i should make sure that this in encouporated. due to 50% saying that they wanted 10-15 images in the magazine this is what i should be aiming for, the images that people said they would most likely see int he magazine would be mostly images of students; therefore they should be the main focussed images, however another 30% stated that they wanted images of facillities in the school as well as images of staff teaching so therefore i should also include these. 100% stated that they wanted a glosy magazine and a variation between big images and various smaller images. 100% also wanted a colourfull magazine, as well as a variation between males and females for the front cover of the magazine. the highest percentage of people also stated that they would preder a magazine front cover which was busy and one that was simple. therefore i should have the cover which is inbetween both of these. it should also have a mixture of interviews as well as articles due to these are what the majority of people who i askedsaid that this is what they would like to see in my magazine.
