Conclusion

In this questionnaire I asked people some questions about their

opinions on what a good magazine is like. I think the questionnaire

went very well, as it gave me clear results about what my magazine

should be like. For example I have now decided that I will use a gold

title on my magazine, and to match that, I will set the main colour

scheme of my magazine, as Gold and Black.

Also I have found out that people prefer to have a medium close up

picture on the front cover of magazine, compared to a medium shot

or a close up, which are the most frequently used pictures.

The questionnaire results also told me that in a music magazine

people prefer to have more pictures, compared to having more text.

In some cases my opinion was strongly over ruled by the majority of

people which did my questionnaire, this then allowed me to improve

my initial idea of what the magazine should look like. For example

although I originally wanted to have the magazine a bit messy to suit

the Hip-Hop and Rap genre, I know decided that it would be better to

set it up normally, and to convey the genre in a different form. Also

initially I thought I was going to write the whole magazine in a very

normal style, but due to my questionnaire, I have decided that it

would be better to write it in a casual style, to make the reader feel

more relaxed when reading.
